Start coding Python with a simple game

In this little example, I am showing how to make a simple game with python, because I think that it is the most effective way to learn a language, to do something that has a real application and that is very simple. You need to learn the basic, first of all, and after that you are ready to do more difficult stuff. I think it’s obvious, but it is not always easy to find the right path at the right pace.

So, here is the code. Below you find the live video making of the code, all improvised and rough.

from random import random
from random import randint
from random import randrange


def rnd():
    guess = []
    for i in range(3):
        n = randrange(1, 10)
        guess.append(n)
    return guess 


a = rnd()
a = [str(x) for x in a]
a = "".join(a)

score = 10
for t in range(10):
    print("\nTry n." + str(t+1))
    print("=======")
    print("What were the numbers?")
    answer = input("> ")

    if answer == a:
        print("\n***********\n")
        print("Good, you guessed")
        print("Your score is " + str(score))
        break
    else:
        count = 0
        pos = 0
        for n, i in enumerate(a):
            if a[n] == answer[n]:
                count += 1
            elif a[n] in answer:
                pos += 1
        print("_______")
        print(str(count) + " numbers right")
        print(str(pos) + " numbers" + " are not in the right position")
        score -= 1

print("The solution was:" + a)
print("Your last try was:" + answer)

This is the output of a game

Try n.1
=======
What were the numbers?
> 123
_______
0 numbers right
1 numbers are not in the right position

Try n.2
=======
What were the numbers?
> 245
_______
