Guessing game

I quickly developed the famous "guessing game". The principle is that the computer choose a random number within an interval (1 to 2000 inclusive in the present case), and the user (you) must guess it in a determined number of attempts. Of course, at each attempt the computer tells you whether the number you entered was too big or too small.
