The problem, good sir, is that I have failed. Failed this program with the lack of skill of the programmer. Failed to the max infact.

Well actually, the problem is that even if it alerts the user they have put in a wrong number it still takes it off the original number of sticks.

Not to worry I am going to have to spend some time playing with it.

Cheers

return false;

function getChosenNumber()
{
	numberChosen=
    window.prompt('Player ' + currentPlayer + ' please choose a number between 1 and 3.','');
	if (numberChosen < 1 || numberChosen > 3)
	{
	   alert('please choose a number between 1 and 3');
	   return false;
    } else
	   {
	return numberChosen;
	   }
}
