Hi, sorry for "resurrecting" this thread. I have tried doing as suggested but with no luck. I now managed to make the programme work "partially". It works as desired for "too high" and "right" answer input, but when the users input "too low" the programme closes. here is what the code looks like r

Re: [Tutor] guess my number game (reversed)

Add a new variable named "number of guesses", increase it each time and break the loop when it reaches, for example 10. This means user can have 10 guesses max. If they couldn't guess the number, they are losers! You also could do the opposite: have number of guesses=10 in the beginning and decreas

Hello. I am very new to learning Python, and I would need some help with a little game I am trying to write. I am trying to write a game where the user is asked to think of a number from 1 to a 100, and the computer tries to guess it. Now, after every guess I would want the programme to ask whethe

Perhaps the indentation was changed when I copy and pasted it, but also we've only been using codeskulptor to run our answers. That code did work on ours, so that is weird. But yes there are a lot of errors. We just type it into code skulptor and press play. A box pops up for any user input.
