Source Code

import random

def guessing_game():
    print("=== Number Guessing Game ===")
    print("Difficulty: 1=Easy(1-50), 2=Medium(1-100), 3=Hard(1-500)")

    difficulty = int(input("Choose difficulty (1-3): "))
    ranges = {1: 50, 2: 100, 3: 500}
    max_num = ranges.get(difficulty, 100)
    max_attempts = {1: 10, 2: 7, 3: 10}[difficulty]

    secret = random.randint(1, max_num)
    attempts = 0

    print(f"\nI'm thinking of a number between 1 and {max_num}")
    print(f"You have {max_attempts} attempts. Good luck!\n")

    while attempts < max_attempts:
        try:
            guess = int(input(f"Attempt {attempts + 1}/{max_attempts} - Your guess: "))
            attempts += 1

            if guess == secret:
                print(f"\n🎉 Correct! You guessed it in {attempts} attempts!")
                return
            elif guess < secret:
                print("📈 Too low! Try higher.")
            else:
                print("📉 Too high! Try lower.")
        except ValueError:
            print("Please enter a valid number!")

    print(f"\n😔 Game over! The number was {secret}")
