Higher or lower game

[deanhystad]

Please use python tags when you post your code. I saw you tried. Next time review before hitting the post button.

Since you decided to ignore any advice, what is the purpose of offering more? Break your code into functions as advised, and the error will be obvious.

You are using the wrong variable.

while True:
    again = input("play again? enter y to play again or n to quit")
    if again == ("n"):
        break

The outer game loop runs until "play" != "y", but here you use the variable "again".

Instead of this:

try:
    answer = int(input(f"{name} guess a number between 1 and 20: "))
    if answer>= 1 and answer<= 20:
        break
    else:
        print("please only enter a number between 1 and 20")
except ValueError:
    print("Please only enter an integer between 1 and 20")

Use the exception you are already catching.

for count in range(1, 6):
    while True:
        try:
            guess = int(input("Guess a number between 1 and 20: "))
            if guess < 1 or guess > 20:
                raise ValueError
            break
        except ValueError:
            print("Please only enter an integer between 1 and 20")
