Build a Number Guessing Game - Build a Number Guessing Game

Curriculum Help

Tell us what’s happening:

The tests that involve printing lines (specifically 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13) change from fulfilled to not fulfilled randomly, and the 8th and 9th tests are not fulfilled despite the script printing exactly what seems to be asked for.

Other posts on this topic suggest counting invalid guesses, which I’ve done, but the issues remain. Does anybody have any insights?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome back to the forum @JYF

You are not asked to valid the characters for the username. This will slow down the script and may cause the tests to time out.

Create table to store users, number of games played, and best game guesses.

You are not asked to store all game guesses, only the best ones.

Happy coding
