- Try to guess a random number between 1 and 100!
- Beautiful CLI with colors and inline-prompts
- emojis 😮
- "autoguess": Let the computer play by itself (with gigantic numbers, while you're at it.)
- modular architecture
- server/client interaction over the internet so you REALLY CAN'T CHEAT bcuz the random number will be stored on the other side of the world
- multiplayer with websockets
- something with databases. like, the mongo ones.
Note: Of course all of this is ridiculous and pointless for a bloody guessing game, it's just for the sake of learning how to do these things i usually do in Node.js with Rust.
