Game Logic

• Display welcome message and game rules
• Prompt user to select difficulty level
  • Set the number of guesses based on selected difficulty level
• The game generates a random number between 1-100
• The game validates the number of guesses a player has
  • If the player has 1 or more remaining guesses,
    • Prompt the user to guess the number
    • Evaluate the guess
      • If the user guesses correctly,
        • Display congratulatory message
        • Evaluate if score is eligible to be added to high score board
          • If so, add it
        • Display high scores
      • Else (if the user does not guess correctly)
        • Decrement number of remaining guesses
        • Give the user a hint indicating if the number is higher or lower than their guess
  • Else (if the player has no remaining guesses)
    • Display end of game message
    • Display high scores
• Prompt the player to play again
  • If yes,
    • Reset config variables
    • Run game again
  • Else
    • Display "Thank you for playing!"
