Random Number Generation

301.14b

Use random in game logic.

What you need to know

Random numbers are essential in games for dice rolls, card shuffling, enemy spawning, and guessing games. Combine random.randint() with loops and selection for game logic.

Key points

Dice games: random.randint(1, 6)
Guessing games: pick a secret number, player guesses
Use loops for repeated rounds
Compare user input against the random number

Code examples

Number guessing game

python

import random
secret = random.randint(1, 100)
guess = 0
while guess != secret:
    guess = int(input("Guess (1-100): "))
    if guess < secret:
        print("Higher!")
    elif guess > secret:
        print("Lower!")
print("Correct!")
