Hello -
My code is running but getting a result when I enter the first character/letter of the word the game will say "You win!" even though there are still remaining letters to be guessed in the word.
my code below --
import os import sys import random
make a list of words
words = [ 'apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'coconut', 'strawberry', 'lime', 'grapefruit', 'lemon', 'kumquat', 'blueberry', 'melon' ]
def clear(): if os.name == 'nt': os.system('cls') else: os.system('clear')
def draw(bad_guesses, good_guesses, secret_word): clear()
print('Strikes: {}/7'.format(len(bad_guesses)))
print('')
for letter in bad_guesses:
print(letter, end=' ')
print('\n\n')
for letter in secret_word:
if letter in good_guesses:
print(letter, end='')
else:
print('_', end='')
print(' ')
def get_guess(bad_guesses,good_guesses): while True: guess = input("Guess a letter: ").lower()
if len(guess) != 1:
print("You can only guess a single letter!")
elif guess in bad_guesses or guess in good_guesses:
print("You've already guess that letter!")
elif not guess.isalpha():
print("You can only guess letters!")
else:
return guess
def play(done): clear() secret_word = random.choice(words) bad_guesses = [] good_guesses = []
while True:
draw(bad_guesses,good_guesses,secret_word)
guess = get_guess(bad_guesses,good_guesses)
if guess in secret_word:
good_guesses.append(guess)
found = True
for letter in secret_word:
if letter not in good_guesses and letter != ' ':
found = False
if found:
print("You win!")
print("The secret word was {}".format(secret_word))
done = True
else:
bad_guesses.append(guess)
if len(bad_guesses) == 7:
draw(bad_guesses,good_guesses, secret_word)
print("You lost!")
print("The secret word was{} ".format(secret_word))
done = True
if done:
play_again = input("Play again? Y/n ").lower()
if play_again !='n':
return play (done=False)
else:
sys.exit()
def welcome():
start = input("Press enter/return to start or Q to quite ").lower()
if start == 'q':
print("Bye!")
sys.exit()
else:
return True
print('Welcome back to Letter Guess!')
done = False
while True: clear() welcome() play(done)
