Hi guys. Need a little help with this.

I m trying to write out a very simple game by using python script.

Mac people: go to http://www.python.org/download/mac/ for some basic information, and to http://www.python.org/download/releases/á to download it.

Windows People: you can go to http://www.portablepython.com/ for basic information about Portable Python.á Go to http://www.portablepython.com/wiki/P...thon1.1Py3.0.1 to download it.á I would recommend the http link for USA.á You will download one .exe file, which you should put on a flash drive.á When you run it, it won't install anything, but create a folder with two .exe files and another file in it.á That's it! You don't have to do anything else.
______________________________________________
Information above is where i got the python from. (which is what the professor gave it to us.).

This thing is just totally new to me, but the professor teaches us as if we have knowledge about it. lol. It's a GE requirement class for me, Computer Science. (I'm a business major).

Anyway, if anyone knows about it, here's what i have now.

________________________
import random
guesses = 0
ran = random.randint (1,50)

yourname = input('what is your name?:')
print('hi')
print('well, i am thinking of a number between 1 and 20')
print('you have 10 guesses to figure it out')

while guesses <10:
yourguest = int(input('what is your guess?'))
if yourguest == ran:
print('you are right, congratulation !!!')
break;
elif yourguest > ran:
print('your guess is too high')
elif yourguest < ran:
print('your guess is too low')
guesses = guesses + 1
print('you are wrong, please try again!')
print('you have ' + str(10-guesses) + ' left')

if guesses ==6:
print('you lost!!!')
print ('done')

It's a small guessing game. I just want to add something on it, but i can't seem to come up with the right thing. !!


Two things i want to add on it.

- After typing in the name when the game prompts to, instead of saying just HI, i want it to say ( HI "the name entered".. )
- Also, I want to end the game and then have a line to ask " Do you want to try again? YES OR NO.
If Yes, the whole thing go over again, while if No is entered, it ends the game with THANKS FOR PLAYING.

Ideas?? Thankss!!

 

I think you should be good with this. Don't know why it doesn't show the indent in here. Added pic for you. Good luck with the class. CS was hard when I first started too

================================================== ==============

import random
guesses = 0
ran = random.randint (1,20)
cond = True

yourname = input('What is your name?:')
print('Hi' + ' ' + yourname)
print('Well, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.')
print('You have 10 guesses to figure it out.')

while cond == True:
while guesses < 10:
yourguest = int(input('What is your guess?'))
if yourguest == ran:
print('You are right. Congratulations!!!')
cond = False
break
elif yourguest > ran:
print('Your guess is too high!')
elif yourguest < ran:
print('Your guess is too low! Please try again!')
guesses = guesses + 1
print('You have ' + str(10-guesses) + ' left.')
if guesses == 10:
print('You lost!!!')
tryAgain = input('Would you like to try again?')
if tryAgain == "no":
print('Thanks for playing!!!')
cond = False
if tryAgain == "No":
print('Thanks for playing!!!')
cond = False
guesses = 0

 

 

I hate programming. No patience for it.

 

Use the code tag:

 

Um.yeah.

 

Thanks for making it easier.. haha..

I didn't know you know these stuff!!! Instead of hanging around for hours, I should have just call you first lol

 

If/when you get to Java you're gonna kill yourself

 

So, I want to learn python. any good recommendations for learning?

 

There's a lot of interactive code courses online. But this was the one that I used to learn Javascript and a bit of Python: http://www.codecademy.com/en/tracks/python

 

hashtag?

Thanks guys.

Downloaded python 3.4.1 and IDLE, been playing with it a bit

The last programming I did was loops in Basic to make my name scroll on the screen....

 

Any reason you want to learn Python over something like Java?

I had to take both in college...learning Python first was supposed to make learning Java easier, but in the end it confused the hell out of us.

/still hate programming

 

Some colleagues were discussing using it to accomplish some tasks that they were working on and there is a small community of people developing python scripts for certain relevant purposes to my work.

 

Interesting. Ever worked with Ruby?

I can probably send you my programming stuff from school if you'd like...books/tutorials/software from class and anything else leftover. I have most of it saved somewhere that I'll never use again.

 

Interestingly, my university recently switched from Java to Python as their programming language choice for the Introduction to Computer Programming course. They figured Java was too confusing for people trying to dive into programming. I think it's a good decision because once you have just the core logic down (loops, conditions, data structures), everything else is just syntax.

 

codeacademy.org

Great free online way to learn Python, PHP, Javascript, Ruby,...

I highly recommend it
