How would a number guessing game work? If you can plan out how you want something to work then you have a basis for writing computer code.

Hi and welcome

This is the basic structure of the code  
You need to make random numbers say between 0-9

```auto
Int play_guess
Int play_guess = int(random(9)); //Random number generation

```

Then you need to use if and else and key pressed

Yeah, sorry, this is not how the forum works.

Please come up with a basic Sketch with `setup()` and `draw()` and ask specific questions.

- Make a PLAN
- write down the steps
- what do you expect to see from the program on the screen?
- Start to program the single steps that you’ve identified
- Then ask specific questions like “_how can I get a random number?_”.

Warm regards,

Chrisir
