[REBOL] Help me Obi REB Kenobi! You're my only hope!
From: edanaii:cox at: 11-May-2002 16:00
In an effort to understand this new (and very interesting) language, I
decided to try something simple; I created a simple guessing game where
the computer picks a number between 1 and 100.
Simply yes? Yea, right! :)
For whatevcr reason: newbie, stupidity, or that my computer just plain
hates me, I can't get the silly thing to work.
Here is the script:
REBOL [
Title: "Guess a number between 1 and 100"
Date: 05/11/2002
Version: 0

]
pick: random/seed 100.0
guess: ask {What is your guess? }
while [pick <> guess] [
if [pick < guess] [ print "To low" ]
if [pick > guess] [ print "To high" ]
guess: input
]
print pick
And the results I get:
>> do %guess.r
What is your guess? ** Script Error: trim expected series argument of
type: series port
** Where: ask
** Near: trim either hide [input/hide] [input]
What is it talking about? I haven't a clue.
I've even tried using Guess: Input and it defines Guess as 1.
Any advice is appreciated, including types on suicide so that I may hide
my shame from such a simple newbie mistake. :)
