This is my second game. The psychic power algorithm if that's the right word is incorrect it overstates the psychic power depending on how many guesses, I'll change it later to be correct.
To test psychic power
(number of possible guesses - number of correct guesses)/(number of correct guesses) if 1000 possible guesses and 1 correct guess would be 999/1 so a psychic power of 999
if guessed on the second guess with the first guess being 500
(498/1 - 1/1000)
Basically the psychic power algorithm or equation should be something like (range at correct guess) - (1/(range at first guess) + 1/(range at second guess) ...+1/(range at nth guess))
right now it is (range at correct guess -1) It wouldn't be hard to fix, this is my second game and it is more of a proof of concept.

Yeah, thanks, I thought of doing something different than what the Udemy Course instructor wanted me to do. The instructor encourages that and I learn more by diverting from the course.
I updated the game to have the features I was talking about.

Not my kind of game to be honest. I also wished you would've given some more clear instructions as to what the object of the game is and how to play it.
