[Tutor] guess my number game

[Kerri Murphy]

Perhaps the indentation was changed when I copy and pasted it, but also
we've only been using codeskulptor to run our answers.   That code did work
on ours, so that is weird.  But yes there are a lot of errors.

We just type it into code skulptor and press play.  A box pops up for any
user input.  The display is covered by the box, so you can't see any
results as you are guessing.

We will still be trying to work on this code.   We will try the file option
you suggested.  We don't have access to the OS at school...

Thank you,
Kerri
