🐍 Lecture 7: Building a Mini Game

🎯 Goal

By the end of this lecture, you will:

• Understand how to combine conditional statements and variables.
• Be able to create a simple number guessing game in Python.
• Learn how to give hints like “Too high” or “Too low”.
• Practice using loops and user input.

🧠 What Are We Building?

We’re going to build a fun Number Guessing Game , where:

• The computer picks a secret number.
• The player tries to guess it.
• The game tells them if they’re too high, too low, or correct!

🎯 This is a great way to practice:

• if, elif, else statements
• Taking input with input()
• Using comparison operators (>, <, ==)
• Loops (we’ll use a while loop)

🎮 Step-by-Step Game Plan

🔢 Step 1: Pick a Secret Number

Let’s start by setting a secret number for the player to guess:

secret_number = 7

This is the number the player has to guess.

🧑‍💻 Step 2: Ask the Player to Guess

Use input() to get the player’s guess:

guess = int(input("Guess the number (1–10): "))

We use int() to convert the input from text to a number so we can compare it.

❓ Step 3: Compare the Guess

Now let’s check what the player guessed:

if guess == secret_number:
    print("You got it right! 🎉")
elif guess < secret_number:
    print("Too low! Try again.")
else:
    print("Too high! Try again.")

This uses our conditional statements to give feedback.

🔁 Step 4: Keep Asking Until They Get It Right

Right now, the player only gets one try. Let’s change that with a while loop:

secret_number = 7

while True:
    guess = int(input("Guess the number (1–10): "))
    
    if guess == secret_number:
        print("You got it right! 🎉")
        break
    elif guess < secret_number:
        print("Too low! Try again.")
    else:
        print("Too high! Try again.")

✅ This loop keeps running until the player guesses correctly. Then it breaks out of the loop.

🧪 Try It Yourself!

Try playing your new game! Here’s the full code again:

secret_number = 7

print("🎲 Welcome to the Number Guessing Game!")
while True:
    guess = int(input("Guess the number (1–10): "))
    
    if guess == secret_number:
        print("🎉 You got it right! Great job!")
        break
    elif guess < secret_number:
        print("📉 Too low! Try again.")
    else:
        print("📈 Too high! Try again.")

👉 Sample Output:

🎲 Welcome to the Number Guessing Game!
Guess the number (1–10): 5
📉 Too low! Try again.
Guess the number (1–10): 9
📈 Too high! Try again.
Guess the number (1–10): 7
🎉 You got it right! Great job!

🧒 Kids Corner

🧠 Imagine you’re playing hide-and-seek with a robot.
Every time you guess a number, the robot says:

• “You’re getting warmer!” if you’re close
• “You’re cold!” if you’re far away

That’s exactly what we’re doing — helping the player find the hidden number!

🤖 Robot says:

You're getting closer... keep trying!

🚀 Challenge (Optional)

Can you make these improvements to your game?

1. Let the player choose the range (like 1–20).
2. Count how many guesses it took and tell them at the end.
3. Add a “Play Again?” feature after winning.

💡 Example Code for Counting Guesses:

secret_number = 7
guesses = 0

while True:
    guess = int(input("Guess the number (1–10): "))
    guesses += 1
    
    if guess == secret_number:
        print(f"🎉 You got it in {guesses} tries!")
        break
    elif guess < secret_number:
        print("Too low! Try again.")
    else:
        print("Too high! Try again.")

📌 Summary

• We built a Number Guessing Game using:
  • Variables to store data
  • input() to get player choices
  • if, elif, else to make decisions
  • A while loop to repeat until the player wins
• Games are a fun way to practice programming!
• You can improve the game with extra features like score tracking or difficulty levels.
