🎲 Tutorial: "Guess My Number" Game in Go (For Complete Beginners) 🎲

Welcome, brave explorer! 🚀
Ever wondered what Go is and how to have fun with it? Let’s learn the basics by creating a simple number guessing game.
Go is a modern language created at Google – it’s fast, friendly, and (almost) never bites. 🐶

🧐 What will you learn?

In this tutorial, you'll become a Go wizard 🧙‍♂️ by mastering:

• Basic structure of a Go program (package main, import, func main).
• Importing packages (fmt, math/rand, os, strconv, strings, time).
• Working with variables and data types (especially int and string).
• Input and output using the fmt package.
• Reading user input using the bufio and os packages.
• Converting strings to numbers using the strconv package.
• Using conditional statements (if, else if, else).
• Using loops (for).
• Generating random numbers using the math/rand package.

1️⃣ Installing Go

For this tutorial, you don't need any prior knowledge of Go. You should have Go installed on your computer. If you don't have it yet, you can download and install it from the official Go website.

After installation, open your terminal and check the version:

go version

This should print the installed Go version.

2️⃣ Recommended Editor (VS Code)

I recommend using Visual Studio Code and installing the “Go” extension by the Go Team at Google. This will make writing and debugging Go code much easier.

1. Open VS Code.
2. Click on the square icon on the left sidebar (Extensions).
3. In the search bar, type "Go".
4. Find the extension named "Go" by "Go Team at Google" and click the "Install" button.

After installing this extension, developing in Go within VS Code will be much more convenient.

3️⃣ Project Structure

2. Open your terminal and run:

go run Guess.go

3. Follow the instructions in the program.

5️⃣ Tips and Explanations

• Every line of code is commented to help you understand what’s happening.
• If you want to try your own extension (for example, a limited number of guesses or hints), try modifying the code after completing this basic version.
