Hello,
I have been enjoying the lectures a lot. I just finished through Number Console and came up with ideas for adding something to the game too. First of all, I wanted to add the option of making Instructions to the game available to the user while playing the game. Next, I wanted user to press any key to start the game. And also, the option to quit the game while playing the game or after winning.
I have managed to implement these options so far with the help of other threads or topics here; which gave me an understanding of use of enums. It was really fun trying to implement all these.
But now, I am having trouble in different scenario. In the beginning, when prompted to press any key to start the game. If I press the (up or down) key, it would skip the first attempt to ask user if it was higher or lower. Here is an example,
Press any key to start
(up arrow pressed)Is it higher or lower than 500?
Damn! It was higher! ->>>> I didnt get to press an up arrow key here, instead it accepted the up key I pressed for “press any key to start”
Is it higher or lower than 750?
Similarly, after a correct guess is made, I wanted user to press Enter to restart or space to quit
however, when user presses Enter, it would take the same key as response to another.
Press Enter to play again or space to quit
“presses Enter”
" Is it higher or lower than 500?"
" Told ya I am a genius" —> Took Enter as response to correct guess
After all this, I am beginning to question if I am using or understanding the Update() function in a wrong way?
