Print "The rules are simple: I'm going to generate a number from 1 to 100, and you "
Print "have to guess it."
Print
Print "You have 7 tries to guess my number, and I'll offer you feedback in the form of "
Print "stars (*), depending on how close you are to my number."
Print
Print "If you're really close, I'll give you 7 stars (*******)."
Print "If you're really off from my number, I'll give you 1 star (*)."
Print "The more stars I give you, the closer you are to guessing my number!"
