What it is
This template asks for a number and scores the distance, so every sensible estimate earns points and the questions are easy to extend in a table.
How you use it
Unzip, serve the folder and open index.html, then edit game.js; npm test plays it again in headless Chrome.
Source code of a real, playable game to reskin and learn from, with a smoke test whose bot plays it.
Use it when
Built for
A question from 0 to 12 moves one at a time, one from 100,000 to 1,000,000 in round thousands; the step is picked from 1, 2 and 5 times a power of ten.
Each computer guesser draws its guess around the answer with its own spread, so the owl is usually close and the fox now and then far off.
Plain JavaScript and Canvas 2D; open index.html through any static server and edit game.js.
A headless Chrome test loads the game, checks the console, presses keys and taps, and lets the built-in bot play a run to its result screen.
