System Design & Implementation

1. Random Number Generation

- Uses Java's Random class to generate a number within the range of 1 to 100.

2. User Interaction & Guessing Logic

- Players input numbers, and the system checks whether the guess is correct, high, or low.

- If the guess is within ±5 of the correct number, bonus rounds are awarded.

3. Scoring System

- Points are awarded based on the number of rounds taken to guess the correct number.

- Faster correct guesses earn higher points.

4. Looping & Replay Option

- The game runs in a while loop, allowing players to replay after each round.

Technical Learnings & Challenges

1. Implementing Randomization

- Used Random.nextInt() to generate unpredictable numbers.

2. Handling User Input

- Used Scanner to take numeric inputs and ensure error handling for invalid values.

3. Game Logic & Scoring System

- Designed a balanced scoring system to reward efficiency in guessing.

4. Loop & Conditional Handling

- Ensured smooth user interaction with loops and break conditions for game flow control.
