Question

***How do I insert the Halloween text into this and write the program****

Topics: List, tuple

In this lab, you will write a scrambled word game.  The game starts by loading a file containing scrambled word-answer pair separated.  Sample of the file content is shown below.  Once the pairs are loaded, it randomly picks a scrambled word and has the player guess it.  The number of guesses is unlimited.  When the user guesses the correct answer, it asks the user if he/she wants another scrambled word.

gstoh:ghost
entsrom:monster

Download scrambled.py and halloween.txt from blackboard under labs/lab5.  The file scrambled.py already has the print_banner and the load_words functions.  The function print_banner simply prints “scrambled” banner.  The function load_words load the list of scrambled words-answer pairs from the file and return a tuple of two lists.  The first list is the scrambled words and the second is the list of the answers.  Your job is the complete the main function so that the game works as shown in the sample run.

Optional Challenge:  The allowed number of guess is equal to the length of the word.  Print hints such as based on the number of guess.  If it’s the first guess, provides no hint.  If it’s the second guess, provides the first letter of the answer.  If it’s the third guess, provides the first and second letter of the correct answer.  Also, make sure the same word is not select twice.  Once all words have been used, the game should tell user that all words have been used and terminate.

Sample run:

__                               _      _            _
/ _\  ___  _ __  __ _  _ __ ___  | |__  | |  ___   __| |
\ \  / __|| '__|/ _` || '_ ` _ \ | '_ \ | | / _ \ / _` |
_\ \| (__ | |  | (_| || | | | | || |_) || ||  __/| (_| |
\__/ \___||_|   \__,_||_| |_| |_||_.__/ |_| \___| \__,_|                                                        

Scrambled word is:  wbe
What is the word? bee
Wrong answer.  Try again!
Scrambled word is:  wbe
What is the word? web
You got it!
Another game? (Y/N):Y
Scrambled word is:  meizob
What is the word? Zombie
You got it!
Another game? (Y/N):N
Bye!

Answer 1

Please read the comments to understand the code. It's fairly simple. You'll get it.

THE CODE IS

from random import randint

def display_banner():
#print the banner SCRAMBLED
print("""
__ _ _ _
/ _\ ___ _ __ __ _ _ __ ___ | |__ | | ___ __| |
\ \ / __|| '__|/ _` || '_ ` _ \ | '_ \ | | / _ \ / _` |
_\ \| (__ | | | (_| || | | | | || |_) || || __/| (_| |
\__/ \___||_| \__,_||_| |_| |_||_.__/ |_| \___| \__,_|   

""")

def load_words(filename):
#load file containing scrambled word-answer pairs.
#scrambled word and answer are sparated by :

scrambled_list = []
answer_list = []

with open(filename, 'r') as f:
for line in f:
(s,a) = line.strip().split(":")
scrambled_list += [s]
answer_list += [a]
return (scrambled_list, answer_list)

  

def main():
display_banner()
(scrambled_list, answer_list) = load_words('D:\\Chegg\\Halloween.txt') #This is link to File called Halloween.txt
  
#your code to make the game work.
#The code has been made taking into consideration the OPTIONAL CHALLENGE as well
numbersAlreadyGenerated=[] #so that words are not repeated
while 1:
attempts=0 #Number of attemots given to user
value = randint(0, scrambled_list.__len__()-1) #randomly generating number
  
while value in numbersAlreadyGenerated: #if words has already been asked
value = randint(0, scrambled_list.__len__()-1) #generate new word
  
won=0; #check if the user has won a turn or he has lost the turn
  
while attempts<scrambled_list[value].__len__(): #Restricitng number of attempts to number
#of letters in word
print('Scrambled word is: ',scrambled_list[value],end='')
if attempts>0: #if it's not the first attempt show hint accordingly
v=""
temp=0
while temp<attempts: #hint has start letter to one less than attempt
v=v+(answer_list[value])[temp] #Generate hint word
temp=temp+1
  
print('\nHint: ',v, end='')
  
userGuess=input('What is the word? ') #ask user's guess
if userGuess==answer_list[value]: #if he guessed right
print('You got it!')
won=1
break
else:
print('Wrong answer. Try again!\n')
attempts=attempts+1   
  
if not won: #if his attempts are over and he has not won
print('Your Attempts are over.\nThe right word: ',answer_list[value])
  
numbersAlreadyGenerated.append(value) #the word number that has been shown
if numbersAlreadyGenerated.__len__()==scrambled_list.__len__():
print("All the words have been used") #if all words have been used
print("Bye")
break
  
ans=input('Another Game? (Y/N): ') #Does user wants another game?
if(ans=='N' or ans=='n'):
print('Bye!')
break

main()

OUTPUT:

In this two output have been demonstrated in accordance to the OPTIONAL CHALLENGE. The functionalities include:-

1. Limited Number Of Attempts- Equal to the number of letters in word.

2. Hint Generating.

3. Normal Game Scenario.

4. Exit when all words end or User says NO to play more.
