4.7 - The Guessing GAME

Copy the following code to Thonny and save it as Guess

# This is a "Guess the number game"
# You have 7 attempts to find a number between 1 and 99
# Wisely your numbers choose - Master Yoda's saying
# -----------------------------------------------------

import random

guesses_taken = 0 # After each attempt this number is increased by 1

print("Hello! What is your name?")
my_name = input()

number = random.randint(1, 100)
print("Well, " + my_name + ", I am thinking of a number between 1 and 99.") # An alternative way to display text using +

while guesses_taken < 7:
    print("Take a guess.")
    guess = input()         # Ask the player for a number
     guess = int(guess)     # Convert text to number

    guesses_taken = guesses_taken + 1    # Increase the guesses_taken by one

    if guess < number:
        print("Your guess is too low.")

    if guess > number:
        print("Your guess is too high.")

    if guess == number:
        break                     # Break means get out of while

if guess == number:
    guesses_taken = str(guesses_taken)
    print("Good job, " + my_name + "! You guessed my number in " + guesses_taken + " guesses!")

if guess != number:
    number = str(number)
    print("Nope. The number I was thinking of was " + number)

We will play the game together and try to explain the steps using the Debug button.
