100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp for 2022 - Day 14 (HigherLower Game)
Published: 2022-05-08 09:08:00

- The main objective for day 14 was to learn how to look at a given project (HigherLower Game), reverse engineer and then create individual tasks to produce a similar game using instagram followers for the data (in a dictionary format). Just like any other project, 'The objective' then split into smaller tasks.

The individual tasks were but not limited to:

- Generate a random account from the game data.

- Format account data into printable format.

- Ask user for a guess.

- Check if user is correct.

- Get follower count.

- If Statement

- Feedback.

- Score Keeping.

- Make game repeatable.

- Make B become the next A.

- Add art.

- Clear screen between rounds.

I also added a little more to kind of make it look prettier lol. 

Since the day 1 start, all coding has been done with replit from https://replit.com. From Day 15 forwards we will start using Pycharm for our coding environment.  

# HigherLower Game Project
```python
- import emojis from https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/emoji-list.html
import random
from replit import clear
from art import logo, hl, vs
import emoji
print(logo)

- Welcome data, what is your name? greet the player use an emoji

print("Welcome to the HigherLower Game. This game is based off the original which is hosted at http://www.higherlowergame.com/. ")

user_name = input("What is your name? ")
computer_response = print(emoji.emojize(f"Welcome {user_name.capitalize()}, 'Lets Play' :grinning_face: "))

  and returns True if they got it right.
  Or False if they got it wrong."""
