this game is the project of the fourth course in Python 3 Programming Specialization. the Specialization is Offered By University of Michigan via Coursera
- 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)
- 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: _______ ______' _ ____ ______ ____ ___
-
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.
