+# Days 97-99 Online Games via a JSON API
+
+This one was a big one wasn't it? Hopefully the real-world nature made it well worth it! Your goal will be to create an online game for another simple game: Hi-lo.
+
+The output looks something like this:
+
+```
+---------------------------------
+   GUESS THAT NUMBER GAME
+---------------------------------
+
+Player what is your name? Michael
+Guess a number between 0 and 100: 50
+Sorry Michael, your guess of 50 was too HIGH.
+Guess a number between 0 and 100: 30
+Sorry Michael, your guess of 20 was too HIGH.
+Guess a number between 0 and 100: 10
+Sorry Michael, your guess of 10 was too LOW.
+Guess a number between 0 and 100: 15
+Sorry Michael, your guess of 15 was too LOW.
+Guess a number between 0 and 100: 19
+Excellent work Michael, you won, it was 19!
+done
+```
+
+There is already an app you can use to get started from here:
+
+**HI-LO GAME**: [`program.py`](https://github.com/mikeckennedy/python-jumpstart-course-demos/blob/master/apps/02-guess-number-app/final/program.py)
+
+## Day N: Add database persistence to the game
+
+On this first day, you already watched the videos. Now you'll need to design what data to store in the database and model that with SQLAlchemy.
+
+Feel free to borrow heavily from our code we already wrote for the **[SQLAlchemy day](https://github.com/talkpython/100daysofcode-with-python-course/tree/master/days/91-93-sqlalchemy)**.
+
+Note that you'll probably want a virtual environment for this one as it involves plenty of external packages.
+
+## Day N+1: Create the web services
+
+Today you'll create a Flask-based web app. For the general structure, feel free to copy from the demo code in this block of days.
+
+You will need to determine the actions that need to happen on the server. For example:
+
+* Create user
+* Find user
+* Game status
+* Play round
+* ... ?
+
+Add a web method for each of these and consider the appropriate URLs and endpoints for the data exchange.
+
+Once you have your methods written, test it with a simple tool like [**Postman**](https://www.getpostman.com/).
+
+## Day N+2: Create the program / game app that users use
+
+Final day! Today, write the `uplink` client (or just raw `request` code if you'd rather). Take each method you wrote yesterday for the API and create a client version. If you need a hint, just look at the client we wrote for this block of days.
+
+Once it's working, then write the code for user interaction on the client. 
+
+This python application is the stand-in for the full video game each person plays locally but works with data on the server.
+
+Looking for a bonus? Try to deploy your web app somewhere like Heroku. Here's their quick start:
