Steps for Number Guessing Game in JavaScript
To create this Number Guessing Game, follow the given steps line by line:
- Create a folder. You can name this folder whatever you want, and inside this folder, create the mentioned files.

First, paste the following codes into your index.html file.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- Coding By CodingNepal - codingnepalweb.com -->
<html lang="en">

Second, paste the following codes into your style.css file.
/* Import Google font - Poppins */
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@200;300;400;500;600;700&display=swap");

}
.wrapper {
padding: 30px 40px;
border-radius: 12px;

}
.wrapper header {

}
.wrapper .input-field {

}
.input-field input,
.input-field button {

}
input::-webkit-inner-spin-button,
input::-webkit-outer-spin-button {

}
.input-field input:disabled {

}
.input-field button {
border: none;
background: #4a98f7;
color: #fff;
cursor: pointer;
transition: 0.3s;
}
.input-field button:active {
transform: scale(0.97);
}
Third, paste the following codes into your script.js file.
// Get the DOM elements and initialize the game
const input = document.querySelector("input"),
guess = document.querySelector(".guess"),
checkButton = document.querySelector("button"),
remainChances = document.querySelector(".chances");
// Set the focus on input field
input.focus();
let randomNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);
chance = 10;
// Listen for the click event on the check button
checkButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
// Decrement the chance variable on every click
chance--;
// Get the value from the input field
let inputValue = input.value;
// Check if the input value is equal to the random number
if (inputValue == randomNum) {
// Update guessed number, disable input, check button text and color.
[guess.textContent, input.disabled] = ["Congratulations", true];
[checkButton.textContent, guess.style.color] = ["Replay", "#333"];
//Check if input value is > random number and within 1-99 range.
} else if (inputValue > randomNum && inputValue < 100) {
// Update the guess text and remaining chances
[guess.textContent, remainChances.textContent] = ["Your guess is high", chance];
guess.style.color = "#333";
//Check if input value is < random number and within 1-99 range.
} else if (inputValue < randomNum && inputValue > 0) {
// Update the guessed number text and remaining chances
[guess.textContent, remainChances.textContent] = ["Your guess is low", chance];
guess.style.color = "#333";
// If the input value is not within the range of 1 to 99
} else {
// Update the guessed number text, color and remaining chances
[guess.textContent, remainChances.textContent] = ["Your number is invalid", chance];
guess.style.color = "#DE0611";
}
// Check if the chance is zero
if (chance == 0) {
//Update check button, disable input, and clear input value.
// Update guessed number text and color to indicate user loss.
[checkButton.textContent, input.disabled, inputValue] = ["Replay", true, ""];
[guess.textContent, guess.style.color] = ["You lost the game", "#DE0611"];
}
if (chance < 0) {
window.location.reload();
}
});
