Please help me with Guessing game.

[Kitty17]

Hi guys, I'm new to this website so if I made some mistake please forgive. :)
I just want to learn more about Python , I'm new to Python and i'm trying to improve.
Here is my work (took some help from Daniweb) i just want to ask that how can i change the guessing turn (0,17) base on the player want to.
Below this i only know how to insert 1 number of guessing ( Ex : 6)

import random


print ("Welcome to my game !")
l= input("Please enter the level you want to play (1:easy,2:hard): ")
l=int(l)

r= input("How many rounds do you want to play? (even number only) ")
r=int(r)

print (" You only get 6 turns to guess the letter")
print ("Player 1's turn to play the game")


guess = 6
letter_g= ()
while guess !=0:
    letter = input('Guess a letter (a-z): ')
    if letter in letter_g:
        print('Please enter another letter')
    else:
        guess = guess - 1

Please help me and sorry for my poor english :sweat:
I'm use Python v.3
Thank you

I do not understand what you mean by (0, 17), I do not see anything like that in your code. You are suppose to update letter_g aren't you?

[Griever]

Do you mean that you want to be able to set the number of turns that the user can guess? It appears that you already do that, all you would need to do is set the number of guesses to r? Or are turns and rounds in the code not the same thing?

I don't know if I should post this here, but here's a code snippet from a game I made, some time ago, while reading the book of Al Sweigart, Invent your own computer games with Python (and I recommend this book if you want to do such games - and it's free for download in PDF, look it up on Google.)
Maybe this will help you a bit, in your guessing game...
The main difference is that my game is based on finding the number which the computer chose, not a letter as in your case...

Do you mean that you want to be able to set the number of turns that the user can guess? It appears that you already do that, all you would need to do is set the number of guesses to r? Or are turns and rounds in the code not the same thing?

Hi Griever,
ya i mean like if the program ask the player "How many time you want to guess?" if the player enter the input answer is 5 times then he only gets 5 times, and if 9 then 9 times but i don't know how to set that.

Hi lucaciandrew,
thanks for your help but its seem too much for me to understand

[woooee]

You should usr "r" instead of guess, and you have to add the letters guessed to letter-g.

r= input("How many rounds do you want to play? (even number only) ")
r=int(r)
 
print (" You only get %d turns to guess the letter" % (d))
print ("Player 1's turn to play the game")
 
 
#guess = 6
letter_g=[]
while r !=0:    letter = input('Guess a letter (a-z): ')
    if letter in letter_g:
        print('Please enter another letter')
    else:
        letter_g.append(letter)
        r = r - 1

Hi woooee,
Thanks for your help.
May i ask what is %d means in this case ? is that mod d ?
and about the append, I dont know append use in what case , i just study about basic one so i don't know it , sorry :(

[Kitty17]

Oh I got what you show me now, thank so much for your help guys ^_^ but i still don't understand why should i put %

[TrustyTony]

should read up more, have gone through the tutorial in the documentation for example? Here one example explaining the string formatting "old" style. Http://network-theory.co.uk/docs/pytut/FancierOutputFormatting.html It is good to start to learn the more flexible format method also.

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your website, I was reading about it but still no clue cause in class my teacher said % mean mod, and only using the number to give the example like if i%2==0 and so on but about %r I really have no clue.

[TrustyTony]

Why don't you try it yourself?

>>> print('%d + %d = %d' % (3, 4, 3+4))
3 + 4 = 7
>>> print('Hello, %s! %d + %d = %d' % ('Kitty', 3, 4, 3+4))
Hello, Kitty! 3 + 4 = 7
>>> print('Hello, %(name)s! %(a)d + %(b)d = %(c)d' % dict(name='Kitty', a=3, b=4, c=3+4))
Hello, Kitty! 3 + 4 = 7
>>>

Hello, Kitty! 3 + 4 = 7

Thank you very much Tony :D thanks!!!!

Well, you can look up the 'old string formatting' style offered on the Python documentation. Their explains are really good.
Perhaps this link was given before, but here goes...
