Correction.  When I Apple-R'd textmate went into a loop, so I did the (again = gets) and then I realized textmates Run command sucks (and/or my expectations are too high).

Here's a shorter way to write things, without going Perl on it.


print 'I am going to test if you are psychic, press enter to continue...'
gets

begin
  print "I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10, can you guess what it is?\n : "
  guess = gets.to_i
  puts  "As to the question of you being psychic, the answer is: #{guess}"
  print 'Play again? [Y/n]: '
end while(gets !~ /^n/i)
