CURSED EDITION
A new version of Number Tumbler is available - The Cursed Edition!
This is an actual version of Number Tumbler written in C,
using the Curses library for terminal support.
The GitHub repo for it is located
here for download.
Since the curses library is not available on Windows,
the program only runs on Unix-based systems at the moment.
A pdcurses implementation is planned sometime in the future to make it
available to Windows users.

Features
Number Tumbler features a variety of difficulty levels and a
simple scoring system.
The player selects the difficulty at the start of the game and is given
ten guesses to discover the four-digit code.
When the player enters a guess, the computer will respond by informing
the player how many correct digits they guessed in the correct location,
how many correct digits they guess in an incorrect location, and
how many incorrect digits they guessed.
Bonus points are award for unused guesses at the end of the game.
