;Task: Given a jumbled list of the numbers '''1''' to '''9''' that are definitely ''not'' in ascending order.
Show the list, and then ask the player how many digits from the left to reverse.
Reverse those digits, then ask again, until all the digits end up in ascending order.
The score is the count of the reversals needed to attain the ascending order.
Note: Assume the player's input does not need extra validation.

An example of a number reversal game could be:
void number_reversal_game() { printf("Number Reversal Game. Type a number to flip the first n numbers."); printf("Win by sorting the numbers in ascending order.\n"); printf("Anything besides numbers are ignored.\n"); printf("\t |1__2__3__4__5__6__7__8__9|\n"); int list[9] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}; shuffle_list(list,9); int tries=0; unsigned int i; int input; while(!check_array(list, 9)) { ((tries<10) ? printf("Round %d : ", tries) : printf("Round %d : ", tries)); for(i=0;i<9;i++)printf("%d ",list[i]); printf(" Gimme that number:"); while(1) { //Just keep asking for proper input scanf("%d", &input); if(input>1&&input<10) break; printf("\n%d - Please enter a number between 2 and 9:", (int)input); } tries++; do_flip(list, 9, input); } printf("Hurray! You solved it in %d moves!\n", tries); }
Which uses the following helper functions:
void shuffle_list(int *list, int len) { //We'll just be swapping 100 times. Could be more/less. Doesn't matter much. int n=100; int a=0; int b=0; int buf = 0; //Random enough for common day use.. srand(time(NULL)); while(n--) { //Get random locations and swap a = rand()%len; b = rand()%len; buf = list[a]; list[a] = list[b]; list[b] = buf; } // "shuffled to ordered state" fix: if (check_array(list, len)) shuffle_list (list, len); } void do_flip(int *list, int length, int num) { //Flip a part on an array int swap; int i=0; for(i;i<--num;i++) { swap=list[i]; list[i]=list[num]; list[num]=swap; } } int check_array(int *arr, int len) { while(--len) { if(arr[len]!=(arr[len-1]+1)) return 0; } return 1; }

C++
The C code can be used with C++, although the following uses proper C++ iostreams:
void number_reversal_game()
{
cout << "Number Reversal Game. Type a number to flip the first n numbers.";
cout << "You win by sorting the numbers in ascending order.";
cout << "Anything besides numbers are ignored.\n";
cout << "\t |1__2__3__4__5__6__7__8__9|\n";
int list[9] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
do
{
shuffle_list(list,9);
} while(check_array(list, 9));
int tries=0;
unsigned int i;
int input;
while(!check_array(list, 9))
{
cout << "Round " << tries << ((tries<10) ? " : " : " : ");
for(i=0;i<9;i++)cout << list[i] << " ";
cout << " Gimme that number:";
while(1)
{
cin >> input;
if(input>1&&input<10)
break;
cout << "\nPlease enter a number between 2 and 9:";
}
tries++;
do_flip(list, 9, input);
}
cout << "Hurray! You solved it in %d moves!\n";
}
This uses the same helper functions as the C version.
Alternate version using the C++ standard library
This version uses the C++ standard library (note that none of the C helper functions are needed).

Number Reversal Game is a room.
The current list is a list of numbers that varies.
When play begins:
now the current list is a shuffled list from 1 to 9;
now the command prompt is "Current list: [current list in brace notation].[line break]How many items to flip? ".
Definition: a list of numbers (called L) is sorted:
repeat with N running from 1 to the number of entries in L:
if entry N in L is not N, no;
yes.
To decide which list of numbers is a shuffled list from (min - number) to (max - number):
let result be a list of numbers;
repeat with N running from min to max:
add N to result;
while true is true:
sort result in random order;
if result is not sorted, decide on result.
Flipping is an action applying to one number. Understand "[number]" as flipping.
Carry out flipping:
let N be the number understood;
let L be the current list;
truncate the current list to the first N entries;
reverse the current list;
truncate L to the last (number of entries in L minus N) entries;
add L to the current list.
Report flipping: say "".
Every turn:
if the current list is sorted, end the story saying "You have won".
This is the new print final score rule:
say "It took you [turn count] flip[s] to sort the list."
The new print final score rule is listed instead of the print final score rule in the for printing the player's obituary rules.

Number Reversal Game
Sort the numbers in ascending order by repeatedly
flipping sets of numbers from the left.

Here's your first list : 4, 3, 2, 7, 1, 6, 5, 8, 9
How many numbers from the left are to be reversed : 4
Here's your list now : 7, 2, 3, 4, 1, 6, 5, 8, 9
How many numbers from the left are to be reversed : 7
Here's your list now : 5, 6, 1, 4, 3, 2, 7, 8, 9
How many numbers from the left are to be reversed : 2
Here's your list now : 6, 5, 1, 4, 3, 2, 7, 8, 9
How many numbers from the left are to be reversed : 6
Here's your list now : 2, 3, 4, 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
How many numbers from the left are to be reversed : 3
Here's your list now : 4, 3, 2, 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
How many numbers from the left are to be reversed : 4
Here's your final list : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
So you've completed the game with a score of 6

M2000 Interpreter
Using some ready made Print's from BASIC example
Using stack of values which we can move easy values. When we call subs and pass arguments that arguments as values stored to same stack, but because we pop them (read to variables) we leave stack with 9 values for the game.
To check if we have all values in order, we just check the difference of two items one after the other, if is one, and if not one then we leave checking returning false.
Sub CheckStack get a value by reference. Because stack of values always get values, a reference is a copy of a weak reference, so in CheckStack a new variable defined as local ok, and get the reference from weak reference in stack. When a sub exit any new,including local variables removed (deleted). Subs are always local to Module, and have same scope as module scope.
To display the values of stack we use Stack statement with no arguments.
Module Number_Reversal_Game {

Do-at-least-once loops are fairly rare, but this program wants to have two of them. We use the built-in .pick(*) method to shuffle the numbers. We use .= to dispatch a mutating method in two spots; the first is just a different way to write ++, while the second of these reverses an array slice in place. The [<] is a reduction operator on less than, so it returns true if the elements of the list are strictly ordered. We also see in the first repeat loop that, although the while condition is not tested till after the loop, the while condition can in fact declare the variable that will be initialized the first time through the loop, which is a neat trick, and not half unreadable once you get used to it.
repeat while [<] my @jumbled-list {
@jumbled-list = (1..9).pick(*)
}
my $turn = 0;
repeat until [<] @jumbled-list {
my $d = prompt $turn.=succ.fmt('%2d: ') ~
@jumbled-list ~
" - Flip how many digits? "
or exit;
@jumbled-list[^$d] .= reverse;
}
say " @jumbled-list[]";
say "You won in $turn turns.";
Output:

Given a jumbled list of the numbers 1 to 9,
you must select how many digits from the left to reverse.
Your goal is to get the digits in order with 1 on the left and 9 on the right.
0 : 3 7 8 1 6 2 5 4 9 -- How many numbers should be flipped? 3
1 : 8 7 3 1 6 2 5 4 9 -- How many numbers should be flipped? 8
2 : 4 5 2 6 1 3 7 8 9 -- How many numbers should be flipped? 4
3 : 6 2 5 4 1 3 7 8 9 -- How many numbers should be flipped? 6
4 : 3 1 4 5 2 6 7 8 9 -- How many numbers should be flipped? 4
5 : 5 4 1 3 2 6 7 8 9 -- How many numbers should be flipped? 5

7 : 3 2 1 4 5 6 7 8 9 -- How many numbers should be flipped? 3
8 : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
You took 8 turns to put the digits in order.

## UNIX Shell
This task becomes easier if your shell has arrays and a random number generator. POSIX shells have not those. If you would do this task with a POSIX shell, then you would pretend arrays with eval, as in eval "\$array_$index=value", and you would implement your own random number generator.
This solution uses the arrays and the random number generator from the Korn shell. It also shows a few other Korn features: the (( )) and [[ ]] commands, the print statement, and some local integer variables in some function.
