1a1b Number Guessing Game

Overview

This is the first game I developed using C++ in a Linux Ubuntu environment!

1a1b is a two-player number guessing game where players try to guess each other’s 4-digit secret number. The game provides hints after each guess using 'a' and 'b':

• 'a' indicates that both the number and its position are correct.
• 'b' indicates that the number is correct but in the wrong position.

Players continue guessing until one correctly identifies the opponent’s number.

How to Play

1. The game starts with a "1a1b" background screen.

2. Each player enters their name and 4-digit secret number.

3. Players take turns guessing the opponent's number.

4. After each guess, the program provides hints:

   • Example:
     • Jacob’s secret number: 1234
     • Vernessa’s secret number: 5678

   Turn 1

   • Jacob guesses 8765 → 0a 4b (all digits correct but misplaced)
   • Vernessa guesses 1256 → 2a 0b (two digits correct in the right place)

   Turn 2

   • Jacob guesses 5679 → 3a 0b (three digits correct in the right place)

   • Vernessa guesses 5687 → 0a 0b (all numbers incorrect)

     

5. The game continues until a player guesses the correct number.

7. The program asks if players want to restart the game or exit.

Features

• Two-player mode with interactive turn-based gameplay.
• Hint system to guide players toward the correct number.
