💡 What:

Enhanced the CLI user experience for the C++ NumberGuess application.

🎯 Why:

The terminal output was plain text, which can make it hard to visually distinguish between errors, hints, and success states. Additionally, the game relied on the Windows-specific system("pause") command, which is non-portable and a poor practice.

📸 Before/After:

Before:
Plain text output, hard-to-parse success message.

After:

  • Red 📈 Too high! Try again.
  • Blue 📉 Too low! Try again.
  • Red ⚠️ Invalid input. Please enter a number.
  • A well-formatted, green ASCII-art success box highlighting the number of attempts.
  • Replaced system("pause") with standard C++ cin.ignore() and cin.get() commands for cross-platform compatibility and a cleaner exit prompt.

♿ Accessibility:

Improved visual parsing by coupling text feedback with both color (ANSI codes) and distinct iconography (emojis), reducing the cognitive load required to read terminal output.
