how to generate a new number for a random number guessing game in python?

Question

i'm hoping the title is self-explanatory, but for more context: i wanna code a random number guessing game and instead of the game ending when the user guesses correctly, i ask the player if they'd like to play again and in the scenario where they answer yes, the code generates a new number and the game repeats.

this is the code:

# import time and random values
import random
import time


# tracks the number of attempts
attempts = 0

#introduction
print("welcome to my number guessing game! ")
input("press any key to start playing ")

while True:
# ask user for input
    number1 = random.randint(0,10)
    guess = int(input("guess a random number between 0 and 10. "))
    attempts += 1

# verify if guess is correct
    if guess == number1:
        playAgain = input(f"correct! the secret number was indeed {number1}, and you guessed it in {attempts} attempts. play again? (yes/no) ")
        if playAgain == "yes":
            # generate a new number and make the user try again
            number1 = random.randint(0,10) 
            continue
        else:
            break
    elif guess > number1:
        print("try a smaller number. ")
    else:
        print("try a bigger number. ")
    

instead of only generating a new number once the user guesses correctly and decides to play again, it generates a new number while the user is playing and so the game never really ends. how do i fix this?

Answer 1

change ur

while True:
# ask user for input
    number1 = random.randint(0,10)
    guess = int(input("guess a random number between 0 and 10. "))
    attempts += 1

to

while True:
    # Generate a new number for each game
    number1 = random.randint(0, 10)

    while True:
    # ask user for input
        guess = int(input("Guess a random number between 0 and 10: "))
        attempts += 1
