Task

For this project, we will try to create a simple project that will collect a user’s input and allow them to guess the value that the computer has generated (randomly). Essentially, a simple guessing game.

Source

Code:

import random
# we will keep track of values here
attempts_count = []
# we will define a score method
def score():
    if len(attempts_count) <= 0:
        print("There is currently no high score")
    else:
        print("The current high score is {} attempts".format(min(attempts_count)))
# adjust values, we will have it be between 1 - 10 
def begin():
    # generate value between 1 - 10
    random_num = int(random.randint(1, 10))
    print("Let's play a little guessing game!")
    # collect user inputs
    name = input("Input your name: ")
    prompt = input("Hi, {}, want to play the game? (Enter Yes/No) ".format(name))
    attempts = 0
    score()
    while prompt.lower() == "yes":
        try:
            # the guessing range is between 1 - 10
            guess = input("Pick a number between 1-10 ")
            if int(guess) < 1 or int(guess) > 10:
                raise ValueError("Guess a value between 1-10")
            if int(guess) == random_num:
                print("Nice! You got it!")
                attempts += 1
                attempts_count.append(attempts)
                print("It took you {} attempts".format(attempts))
                play_again = input("Play again? (Enter Yes/No) ")
                attempts = 0
                score()
                random_num = int(random.randint(1, 10))
                if play_again.lower() == "no":
                    print("Bye, bye.")
                    break
            elif int(guess) > random_num:
                print("Lower")
                attempts += 1
            elif int(guess) < random_num:
                print("Higher")
                attempts += 1
        except ValueError as err:
            print("Invalid input")
            print("({})".format(err))
    else:
        print("Bye, bye.")
if __name__ == '__main__':
    begin()

Output:

Let's play a little guessing game!
Input your name: Michael
Hi, Michael, want to play the game? (Enter Yes/No) Yes
There is currently no high score
Pick a number between 1-10 5
Lower
Pick a number between 1-10 2
Nice! You got it!
It took you 2 attempts
Play again? (Enter Yes/No) Yes
The current high score is 2 attempts
Pick a number between 1-10 8
Lower
Pick a number between 1-10 4
Lower
Pick a number between 1-10 2
Higher
Pick a number between 1-10 3
Nice! You got it!
It took you 4 attempts
Play again? (Enter Yes/No)
