Simple App using Python: Number Guessing Game

In this post, I will show you how to create a simple number guessing game using Python. First of all, I will explain the rules of the game that I have created. Then, I will show you the code and at the end I will perform a simple test case.

In this game, the player have to guess a number between 1 and 200. And he/she has a maximum of 8 attempts to guess the right number generated by the system. If he/she gives 8 wrong guesses, the game is lost and the generated number will be revealed. In both cases, the player is given the chance to retry again.

The code below represents the whole game, I will explain it step by step:

The first while loop is for repeating the game and it is a choice taken by the player at the end of the game.

The game starts by generating a number between 1 and 200 as shown below:

After that, the guessing process begins as shown below:

The player will have the chance to guess for 8 times. If he/she gives a wrong number a hint will be displayed telling if the guessed number is greater or smaller than the generated number. In the case of a right guess, a message will be displayed as well as the number of tries consumed. If the player does not guess the number in the 8 attempts, the number will be revealed and the game is lost.

Finally, as mentioned previously, the player will have the chance to repeat the game.

This is a simple test performed where I succeeded to guess the number from the third try:
