A simple little game inspired by pmichauds talks at YAPC-NA in Pittsburgh.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl6

my $guesses = 5;

say qq{{{{{

A Hurkle is hiding on a 10 by 10 grid.  The south-west corner of the g
+rid is
point 0,0 and any gridpoint is a pair of whole numbers seperated by a 
+comma.
Try to guess the Hurkle's gridpoint.  You get $guesses tries.  After e
+ach try,
I will tell you the approximate direction to go to look for the Hurkle
+.
