hello,

last time I made a fibonacci series generator in Rust and now I have made something different :)

use std::io;

fn main() {
    let mut input: String = String::new();
    let stdin = io::stdin();

    let x = rand::random::<u32>() % 101;
    let mut attempts = 0;

    loop {
        println!("Guess a number from 0 to 100:");
        stdin.read_line(&mut input);
        input = input.to_string().replace("\n", ""); // removing the \n
        let user_input: u32 = input.parse::<u32>().unwrap();
        if x == user_input {
            println!("You won! attempts: {attempts}");
            break;
        }
        else if x < user_input {
            println!("too big");
            attempts += 1;
        }
        else {
            println!("too small");
            attempts += 1;
        }
        input.clear()
    }
}

feel free to give me suggestion :)

    🤔 I think the vt100 protocols (where the escape code come from) predate windows and I think all modern terminals still use those as the base. So I think they are cross platform. From a quick search it looks like they are the same codes on windows. So I dont think the libraries are doing anything special for cross platform support.

      I see, so I was wrong then

      Maybe I should try colour codes on windows when I get to it 😅 thanks for the info
