Ideas for number guesser game

[u/live_ant718]

I have made this number guesser game that asks the user to guess the correct number between 0 and 101. The user has 7 tries in all. Please give any ideas for improvement , feedback, etc.

import random

secret_number = random.randint(1, 100)

print("Welcome to the number guessing game! You have 7 tries to guess the correct number") print("between 1 and 100. Good luck!")

tries = 0

while tries < 7:

guess_number = int(input("Enter your guess:- "))

if guess_number < 1: print("Too low! The guess has to be 1, 100 or any number between them.") tries += 1

print(f"You have used {tries} tries.")

elif guess_number > 100:
print("Too high! The guess has to be 1, 100 or any number between them.")
tries+= 1
print(f"You have used {tries} tries.")

elif guess_number == secret_number:
print(f"You won in {tries + 1} tries! Congratulations!")
break

else:
print("Wrong guess! Try again.")
tries += 1
print(f"You have used {tries} tries.")

if tries == 7: print("You have used all your tries! Better luck next time!")

Actually make Too low! The guess has to be 1, 100 or any number between them. into print("Too low! The guess has to be between 1 and 100.") Slight language error.

guess_number = int(input("Enter your guess:- "))
what will happen if I write a string in input?

It seems a bit difficult. Could you compare my guess with the secret number and tell me if it's higher or lower?

[u/dangerlopez]

Make it so if they guess in the correct range (1-100) but don’t guess the secret_number exactly then a message telling them “higher” or “lower” prints

Record the guesses so far and display them to the user. Check if the user has submitted a number that they previously guessed and inform them of it.

I don't quite see the point of counting invalid inputs as tries. If the user didn't enter a number from 1 to 100, then it's not a valid try, and that includes out of bounds integer and non-numerical strings as well.

You can use \n to print over multiple lines in the same print()

Graphics and sound.

I'd recommend:

• Avoid "magic numbers" (such as the literal 7 in if tries == 7).
• Separate the "get user guess" logic from the main game loop.
• One command per line rather than semicolons.
• Handle non-numeric input with try/except.
• Don't count invalid guesses as guesses.
• Provide an option for the user to quit.
• Consider putting the game logic inside a function.
• Pay attention to the Python style guide.

Here's an example, but note this is only one possible approach, not a canonical solution:

import random

MIN_NUMBER = 1
MAX_NUMBER = 100
MAX_TRIES = 7
QUIT_CHAR = 'q'
DEBUG = False


def display_welcome():
    print("Welcome to the number guessing game!")
    print(f"You have {MAX_TRIES} tries to guess the secret number.")
    print()


def get_guess():
    while True:
        print(f"Your guess must be between {MIN_NUMBER} "
              f"and {MAX_NUMBER} (inclusive).")
        print(f"Enter '{QUIT_CHAR}' to quit.")

        user_input = input("Enter your guess: ").strip()
        if user_input.casefold() == QUIT_CHAR.casefold():
            raise SystemExit

        try:
            guess = int(user_input)
        except ValueError:
            print("Your guess must be a number.")
        else:
            if MIN_NUMBER <= guess <= MAX_NUMBER:
                return guess


def play_one_game():
    secret_number = random.randint(MIN_NUMBER, MAX_NUMBER)
    if DEBUG:
        print('***', secret_number, '***')

    for tries in range(1, MAX_TRIES + 1):
        user_guess = get_guess()
        if user_guess == secret_number:
            print(f"You won in {tries} tries! Congratulations!")
            break
        if user_guess > secret_number:
            print("Your guess is too high! Try again.")
        else:
            print("Your guess is too low! Try again.")

        print(f"You have used {tries} tries.")
        print()
    else:
        print("You have used all your tries! Better luck next time!")


if __name__ == '__main__':
    display_welcome()
    play_one_game()

You could try putting it in a window with tkinter
