hey Im not able to send pms? so I am pasting it here.
Here was my entry:
Thanks again for putting this contest together!Code:using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace MagicGopher
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string playAgain;
do
{
Console.Clear();
Console.WriteLine("Greetings! I possess the power to read one's thoughts. Allow me to demonstrate. Think of a 2-digit number (i.e., a number between 10 and 99).");
Pause();
Console.WriteLine("Now take each of the digits in your number and add them together. For instance, if your number is 39, you'd do 3 + 9 = 12.");
Pause();
Console.WriteLine("Now take your original number and subtract the number you just got from it (e.g., 39 - 12 = 27).");
Pause();
Console.WriteLine("Now look at the chart below. Find the word next to the number you just calculated and remember it.{0}", Environment.NewLine);
string magicWord = ShowChart();
Pause();
Console.WriteLine("I bet the word was...");
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
Console.WriteLine("...{0}!", magicWord);
FlushInputBuffer();

@theju112 - Nice to see your entry - had a bit of a problem compiling it - had to alter some things, perhaps some feedback from other members would help, issues with headers - non standard styley stuff - but then as was pointed out this was calling for non standard. - but still i can see you have put a lot of work in there, its a good effort, - plus nice 'user taunting' in your instruction messages! cheers.
This is a slightly enhanced version of my previous code..just added a few more spook effects that's all

I guess the problem was at #include<conio.c> I started using a new compiler : c free standard(developed by programarts.com) recently.
so when i used #include<conio.h> and clrscr(), i was getting the undefined function error..
so i checked the include folder and found out that the clrscr() function was in the conio.c and it was not in the conio.h file..
