Animal Quiz With Python 

Are you a fan of quizzes? Would you like to make one yourself? In this project, you’ll build an animal quiz. Even though the questions are about animals, this project can be easily modified to be about any other topic.

What happens 

The program asks the player some questions about animals. They get three chances to answer each question—you don’t want to make the quiz too difficult! Each correct answer will score one point. At the end of the quiz, the program reveals the player’s final score.

How it works 

This project makes use of a function—a  block of code with a name that performs  a specific task. A function lets you use the same code repeatedly, without having to  type it all in every time. Python has lots  of built-in functions, but it also lets you  create functions of your own.

Putting it together

 It’s now time to build your quiz! First you’ll create  the questions and the mechanism for checking the answers. Then you’ll add the code that gives the player three attempts to answer each question.

1. Create A New File

Open IDLE.

 Under the File menu, select New File.

 Save the file as “animal_quiz.py”.

 

2.Create the score variable 

Type in the code shown here to create a variable called score and set its starting value to 0. 

3.Introduce the game

 Next, create a message to introduce the game to the player. This will be the first thing that the player sees on the screen.

4.Run the code

Now try running the code. From  the Run menu, choose Run Module. What happens next? You should  see the welcome message in the shell window. 


5.Ask a question (user input) 

The next line of code asks a question and waits for the player’s response. The answer (the user input) is saved in the variable guess1.
 Run the code to make  sure the question appears.

 

6.Build a check function 
The next task is to check if the player’s guess is correct. Type this code at the top of your script, before score = 0. The code creates a function, called check_guess(), that will check if the player’s guess matches the correct answer. The two words in brackets  are “parameters”—bits of information the function needs. When you call (run) a function, you assign (give) values to its parameters 
 

7.Call the function 

Now add a line at the end  of the script to call (run) the check_guess() function. This code tells the function to use  the player’s guess as the first parameter and the phrase “polar bear” as the second parameter.

 


8.Test the code 

Try running the code again and type in the correct answer. The  shell window should look like this.


9.Add some more questions
 It takes more than one question to make a quiz! Add two more questions to the program, following the same steps as before. We’ll store the player’s answers in the variables guess2 and guess3.
 

 

10.Display the score

 The next line of code will reveal the player’s score in a message when the quiz ends. Add it to the bottom of the file, under the last question.
 

11.Ignore case

 What happens if the player types  “Lion”  instead of  “lion”? Will they still  get a point? No, the code will tell  them it’s the wrong answer! To fix this, you need to make your code smarter. Python has a lower() function, which changes words into all lower-case characters. In your code, replace  if guess == answer: with the  line shown on the right in bold.
 

12.Test the code again

 Run your code for a third time. Try typing the correct answers using a mixture of capitals and lower-case letters and see what happens

Ludo Game In Python Ludo Game project is written in Python. The project file contains python scripts (game.py, run.py, painter.py, recorder.py). This is a simple console based strategy board game which is very easy to understand and use. Talking about the gameplay, all the playing rules are the same just like we play in real time ludo. Here at first, the user has to select players i.e either human or computer. After selecting human, the player has to enter details such as name and select color(red, green, yellow and blue). the player can also start the game within two players if he/she wants. After starting the game, a console based ludo board appears, other rules are the same. First, the computer or the player has to roll the dice. The main thing in this console based game is that the player just has to press “Enter Key” to roll the dice. At the top of the board, it displays a dice with the number. The system keeps on rolling until there’s a possible pawn to...

GUESSING GAME  WITH PYTHON SOURCE CODE Also In the game of Guessing, a clue word is given by the program that the player has to guess, letter by letter. The player guesses one letter at a time until the entire word has been guessed. (In the actual game, the player can only guess 6 letters incorrectly before losing). Let’s say the word the player has to guess is “EVAPORATE”. For this exercise, write the logic that asks a player to guess a letter and displays letters in the clue word that were guessed correctly. For now, let the player guess an infinite number of times until they get the entire word. As a bonus, keep track of the letters the player guessed and display a different message if the player tries to guess that letter again. Remember to stop the game when all the letters have been guessed correctly! Don’t worry about choosing a word randomly or keeping track of the number of guesses the player has remaining – we will deal with those in a futu...

Calculator by Python Coding In most countries,  students  use calculators for schoolwork. There was some initial resistance to the idea out of fear that basic or  elementary arithmetic  skills would suffer. There remains disagreement about the importance of the ability to perform calculations  in the head , with some curricula restricting calculator use until a certain level of proficiency has been obtained, while others concentrate more on teaching  estimation  methods and problem-solving. Research suggests that inadequate guidance in the use of calculating tools can restrict the kind of mathematical thinking that students engage in. [46]  Others have argued [ who? ]  that calculator use can even cause core mathematical skills to atrophy, or that such use can prevent understanding of advanced algebraic concepts. [47]  In December 2011 the  UK 's  Minister of State for Schools ,  Nick Gibb , voiced concern that chi...

                                 You Have Problem In Python Project ..? Don't Take Any Headache You Are Come On Right Blog ....... I n This Blog I Tell You and Gave you some Idea About Python Project.So let' start it... Python Is An Interpreted , high-level , general-purpose programming language . Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant whitespace . Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.. About Python Click  Know More...
