Help starting a simple shell script.

I've been sitting here for 6 hours typing out all kinds of different ridiculous(very pointless) shell scripts for a low-level UNIX class. I'm tired.. and want to go to bed Smilie Can somebody please help get me on the right path to starting this damn script? i'm useless after all these hours and seem to have a mental block.

The script asks for:

computer picks number from 1 to 180. user guesses a number. keep a counter of how many guesses they take, and after each guess, tell the user whether it was is too high or too low.

done

Anyone..? Anyone..? Anyone..?
