Wheel-of-Fortune-using-Python

Wheel of Fortune in python this game is the hands-on project in Python 3 Programming Specialization offered By University of Michigan via Coursera.

The rule of the game

There are num_human human players and num_computer computer players.

Every player has some amount of money ($0 at the start of the game) Every player has a set of prizes (none at the start of the game)

The goal is to guess a phrase within a category. For example:

Category: Artist & Song Phrase: Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You

Players see the category and an obscured version of the phrase where every alphanumeric character in the phrase starts out as hidden (using underscores: _):

Category: Artist & Song Phrase: _______ ______' _ ____ ______ ____ ___

During their turn, every player spins the wheel to determine a prize amount and:

If the wheel lands on a cash square, players may do one of three actions:

• Guess any letter that hasn’t been guessed by typing a letter (a-z)

• Vowels (a, e, i, o, u) cost $250 to guess and can’t be guessed if the player doesn’t have enough money. All other letters are “free” to guess

• The player can guess any letter that hasn’t been guessed and gets that cash amount for every time that letter appears in the phrase

• If there is a prize, the user also gets that prize (in addition to any prizes they already had)

• If the letter does appear in the phrase, the user keeps their turn. Otherwise, it’s the next player’s turn.

  • Example: The user lands on $500 and guesses ‘W’ There are three W’s in the phrase, so the player wins $1500

Guess the complete phrase by typing a phrase (anything over one character that isn’t ‘pass’)

• If they are correct, they win the game

• If they are incorrect, it is the next player’s turn

• Pass their turn by entering 'pass'

• If the wheel lands on “lose a turn”, the player loses their turn and the game moves on to the next player

• If the wheel lands on “bankrupt”, the player loses their turn and loses their money but they keep all of the prizes they have won so far.

• The game continues until the entire phrase is revealed (or one player guesses the complete phrase)
