How about changing it into a math quiz program?
You have the program output random problems ("What is 14 * 3 ?")
And then you can output appropriate random insults, words of encouragement, or
praise as appropriate until the user gets the answer right. Just be careful
with division. You probably don't want to randomly generate a problem like
("What is 22 / 7 ?") (unless you are going to ask for the remainder too...)
A trick to get around this problem is to use multiplication to pick a
dividend.
Psuedocode:
Answer = randomNum
Divisor = randomNum
Dividend = Answer * Divisor
Print "What is (Dividend) / (Divisor) ?"
Have fun....
