Please make a new topic in Questions about Scratch. Abs turns a negative number to a positive number

Is it possible to make “Guess the Number” game?

It should be but I think Scratch 3.0 may have broken while. Then again, maybe I coded this wrong? I checked with a simpler program and it didn't work though so…

sto rnd randint 1 10; sto rsp ""; sto a 0; while { not equal rcl rnd rcl a } { input join rcl rsp "Enter your guess:"; if { less rcl rnd ans } { sto rsp "Too high." } { if { great rcl rnd ans } { sto rsp "Too low." } {} }; sto a ans }; output "You got it."

While and loop are both not in ZZL for some reason…

hey could you add clear function I think it would be very useful
Edit: sorry didn't realize his was a old thread

I think that instead of having a ask block:

ask [] and wait

which is just a bubble
You could implement a simple typing script as so:

when green flag clicked
set [i v] to [1]
forever
if <key (item (i) of [letters v] :: list) pressed?> then
set [answer v] to (join (answer) (item (i) of [letters v] :: list))
end
change [i v] by (1)
if <(i) > (length of [letters v] :: list)> then
set [i v] to [1]
end
end

add all the letters you want to be able to type in the list “letters”.
and then your done.
this method is not the best but it gets the job done.
