Which Gets Googled More? Play The Higher Lower Game

Notes\ Code

We are going to build a version of the Higher Lower Game. We will compare who has more followers on Instagram instead of Google searches that the original used. The user will guess who has more followers until they get one wrong at which point we will give them a final score. Here is my final code.

main.py

import random
import art
import game_data

min_val = 0
max_val = len(game_data.data) - 1
score = 0
game_over = False
second_value = random.randint(min_val, max_val)

while not game_over:
    first_value = second_value
    second_value = random.randint(min_val, max_val)
    if second_value == first_value:
        second_value = random.randint(min_val, max_val)
    comp_a = game_data.data[first_value]
    comp_b = game_data.data[second_value]
    print(art.logo)
    print(f"Compare A: {comp_a["name"]}, a {comp_a["description"]}, from {comp_a["country"]}.")
    print(art.vs)
    print(f"Against B: {comp_b["name"]}, a {comp_b["description"]}, from {comp_b["country"]}")

    if comp_a["follower_count"] > comp_b["follower_count"]:
        correct_answer = "a"
    else:
        correct_answer = "b"

    choice = input("Who has more followers? Type 'A' or 'B': ").lower()
    if choice == correct_answer:
        score += 1
        print(f"You're right! Current score: {score}")
    else:
        print(f"Sorry, that's wrong. Final score: {score}")
        game_over = True
