Number Guessing Game

Welcome to the Number Guessing Game! This is a simple command-line game where the computer selects a random number, and you have to guess it. You have a limited number of chances to guess the number, and the game will end either when you guess the number correctly or run out of chances.

Features

  • Select a difficulty level to determine the number of chances:
    • Easy: 10 chances
    • Medium: 5 chances
    • Hard: 3 chances
  • Receive feedback on whether your guess is too high or too low.
  • Track the number of attempts and time taken to guess the number.
  • Option to play multiple rounds.

How to Play

  1. Start the Game: Run the script to start the game.
  2. Select Difficulty Level: Choose from Easy, Medium, or Hard to set the number of chances you have.
  3. Enter Your Guess: Guess the number between 1 and 100.
  4. Receive Feedback: The game will tell you if the number is higher or lower than your guess.
  5. Win or Lose: The game ends when you either guess the correct number or run out of chances.
  6. Play Again: Decide if you want to play another round or exit.
