Bomb timer and secret code in shell

Expand Post »

Please I want to build a program in scripting that will start a timer from 60 seconds and decrement every second.There should be an input where the user should be able to enter the secret password to dis-activate the timer-bomb.If the user fails to enter the correct password 3 times or the timer reaches 0 without any entries,a message should be displayed as Bomb Exploded else a message should be displayed as Bomb Defused.Beneath is the code i tried but its not working as i wish,so please help me if necessary.

#!/bin/bash
 
  read -t 10 -p "Code : " code
 
for (( i=1 ; i<=3 ; i++ )); do echo $i;
 
  if [ "$code" == "boom" ]; 
 
  then
 
       echo "Bomb Disactivated"
 
  else
 
       echo "Bomb Exploded"
 
  fi
#!/bin/bash

  read -t 10 -p "Code : " code

for (( i=1 ; i<=3 ; i++ )); do echo $i;

  if [ "$code" == "boom" ]; 

  then

       echo "Bomb Disactivated"

  else

       echo "Bomb Exploded"

  fi
