1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,610 Now that you've completed some of the scoping problems, it's time to tackle 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:06,810 the final project. 3 00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:12,260 This final project is a little bit special because now I think you've got enough 4 00:00:12,450 --> 00:00:17,430 experience and enough skills under your belt to actually create this project 5 00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:22,140 entirely from scratch by yourself. So you're flying solo now. 6 00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:26,490 Now the first thing I want you to do is head over to guess-the-number- 7 00:00:26,490 --> 00:00:29,130 final.appbrewery.repl.run 8 00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:33,630 and I want you to play this game quite a few times actually, 9 00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:38,040 just so that you get a good idea of how it works. Now, 10 00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:40,500 the first thing it tells us is Welcome. 11 00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:44,790 And then it tells us it's thinking of a number between 1 and 100, 12 00:00:45,090 --> 00:00:48,480 and then we get to choose a difficulty. So I'm going to choose hard. 13 00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:52,380 Now it tells me that I have five attempts to guess the number, 14 00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:55,020 and I'm going to make a guess. 15 00:00:55,770 --> 00:01:00,000 Now it tells me that 50 is too high, it's not the number that it was thinking, 16 00:01:00,270 --> 00:01:04,800 and I have to guess again. And notice how I started out with five attempts, 17 00:01:04,860 --> 00:01:08,970 I'm now down to four attempts. So let's try 25. 18 00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:12,510 So 25 is too low, but 50 is too high. 19 00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:15,360 So that means the number is somewhere in between them. 20 00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:19,950 Let's try 30. Again, too low. Let's try 21 00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:22,980 4o. Too high. Maybe it's 45. 22 00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:25,260 But I only have one attempt left 23 00:01:25,260 --> 00:01:28,380 cause I went for the hard level. And as expected, 24 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,340 I didn't manage to get the right number and I've now run out of guesses. 25 00:01:32,490 --> 00:01:34,980 So I've lost. If we run again, 26 00:01:35,010 --> 00:01:37,770 we can try playing this on an easy level. 27 00:01:39,150 --> 00:01:43,050 On an easy level, we get 10 attempts instead of 5. 28 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,080 That gives us a little bit of extra opportunity. 29 00:01:46,590 --> 00:01:51,540 So let's try 50. 50 is too high. 25 is too high. 10, 30 00:01:52,050 --> 00:01:56,910 10 is too low. So it's between 10 and 25. So let's try 15. 31 00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:59,910 Now, if 15 is too high, but 10 is too low, 32 00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:02,670 then we're pretty close to the answer. 33 00:02:03,330 --> 00:02:08,039 It's now between 12 and 15, let's try 13, 14. 34 00:02:08,490 --> 00:02:12,360 There we go. The actual answer that it had in mind was 14. 35 00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:17,820 And I had four attempts remaining to get the final answer and I managed to get 36 00:02:17,820 --> 00:02:22,170 it at the end. Play through this game at least three, 37 00:02:22,170 --> 00:02:24,300 four times on the different levels 38 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,490 and remember that the easy level has 10 gos, 39 00:02:29,850 --> 00:02:32,460 the hard level, the user gets 5 gos 40 00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:37,610 at guessing the number. And look at how the code works and how it's functioning. 41 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,380 And then I want you to break down this problem. Write a to-do list, 42 00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:47,970 create your own list of tasks that you need to solve and start with the simplest 43 00:02:47,970 --> 00:02:52,620 one. And once you've tackled that, start putting in some comments into your code. 44 00:02:52,650 --> 00:02:55,380 Write down the functionality your program needs, 45 00:02:55,890 --> 00:03:00,890 and then write the code and then test out your code and keep going until you've 46 00:03:01,330 --> 00:03:05,470 tested it and made sure that it works in all situations. 47 00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:09,730 So this final project has no starting code. 48 00:03:10,270 --> 00:03:13,900 I'm not going to give you any comments or to-dos to start off with. 49 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,340 I want you to try and tackle this entire project by yourself. 50 00:03:18,910 --> 00:03:23,710 And the only thing I'm going to give you is this link so that you can try out the 51 00:03:23,710 --> 00:03:27,310 final project. And I know that there's a lot of ways that you can cheat, 52 00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:31,960 but don't do it. Have faith in yourself. If you tackle this for an hour, 53 00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:34,180 I'm pretty sure you're going to get there in the end. 54 00:03:34,570 --> 00:03:38,350 You have free reign on the styling or the wording, 55 00:03:38,620 --> 00:03:40,360 whatever it is you want it to say. 56 00:03:40,450 --> 00:03:43,750 But it has the have the same functionality. Now 57 00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:46,960 this also means that if you want to get some ASCII art of your own, 58 00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:49,060 then you can head over to this website 59 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,830 which I'll link to in the course resources and just type the name of your game. 60 00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:55,330 So maybe it will be Guess 61 00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:58,410 The Number. 62 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,870 And you can change the font that you want for it. 63 00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:07,950 Maybe something a little bit isometric or maybe ogre, 64 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,190 or maybe train, whatever it is you want. 65 00:04:11,430 --> 00:04:13,230 And then once you're happy with the font, 66 00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:16,440 you can select and copy everything that's on there, 67 00:04:16,769 --> 00:04:18,060 and then inside your project 68 00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:23,060 you can create a new file called art.py and then create a new variable and set 69 00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:28,350 it equal to the design that you've got in mind. Now, 70 00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:32,820 in order for it to look right, you actually have to create this as a docstring, 71 00:04:32,850 --> 00:04:37,850 so three quotation marks to begin with and then three quotation marks to end. 72 00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:43,680 And then just make sure you have enough horizontal space to display the whole 73 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,260 thing in one go instead of it being truncated 74 00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:49,530 when you have a little bit of space and you should be able to see the actual 75 00:04:49,530 --> 00:04:50,363 design. 76 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,120 Pause the video now and create this number guessing game by yourself 77 00:04:56,670 --> 00:04:57,870 as the final project.
