Description

Stars is a number guessing game. The computer thinks of a number and the player must guess it within 7 turns. Instead of telling the player if the number is higher or lower the computer displays a number of stars (joined with bells from the Teletype) to indicate proximity to the number. 1 star being far away, 7 being very close.
