Details

The code is written to be portable accross Unix-like systems, and uses POSIX-standard sleep functions, as well as clearly defined int sizes.

It should work both on 32-bit and 64-bit processors, across any architecture capable of running Linux/BSD/Solaris/MacOS and whatever else you can come up with.

Currently tested on AMD64 Arch Linux, ARM64 Alpine Linux (Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W).

Windows is unstested, and likely needs a different sleep function, as well as a different way to seed random(), since Windows has no /dev/urandom.

If you'd like to play with the source code, you can adjust lower and upper bounds of generation, up to 8 bits (0x00-0xff). Currently, the game is set to 0x0-0xf, because randomly matching 8 bits is a 1/256 chance, and makes the game almost impossible to win. Make sure to add padding zeroes to the printouts.

If you'd like to go crazy and attempt to compile on 8/16-bit systems, the sleep and /dev/urandom seed functions need to be adjusted/removed. Unsure if any Unix even runs on such processors.
