Memory Game

This is a Python program aimed at recalling and improving the overall memory of the individual using a series of random words and numbers.

At first, the main program imports all the necessary libraries and files combined with an ASCII art logo. Then according to the user input, it calls the necessary functions.

import wordzz
import numberzz
import countrizz
import flowerzz
import random
import os
import time
import sys
import logo

print(logo.memso)

print("Welcome to the Memory Game: MEMSO \n")

def choices():
    types = input("Choose either 'Words, 'Countries', 'Flowers' or 'Numbers' \n")
    types = types.lower()
    if (types == 'numbers'):
        numberzz.num_question()
        numberzz.num_answer() 
    elif (types == 'words'):
        wordzz.question_word()
        wordzz.answer_word()
    elif (types == 'countries'):
        countrizz.question_word()
        countrizz.answer_word()
    elif (types == 'flowers'):
        flowerzz.question_word()
        flowerzz.answer_word()
    else:
        print("You gave an invalid choice.")
        choices()

Let’s continue to the file that is responsible for handling the word logic. In the beginning, we read the words file, and based on the user input a predefined value is allocated according to the specified value. There is an option for a custom input, that is a specific number of words to be presented and recalled at a later stage. When the words finish showing up, then the user has to recall them in the exact order to get 1 point, otherwise, it loses 1 point. Finally, the overall score is shown at the end.

import random
import time
import os
import sys

f = open('words.txt', 'r')
content = f.read()

words = content.split("\n")

def question_word():
    choice = input("Choose either 'Level' or 'Specific' \n")
    if (choice == "level"):
        choice = choice.lower()
        level = input("Enter Level # Low / Medium / Hard \n")
        if (level == 'low'):
            question_word.num_words = 5
        elif (level == 'medium'):
            question_word.num_words = 10
        elif (level == 'hard'):
            question_word.num_words = 20
        else:
            print(f"Invalid entry.")
            question_word()
            answer_word()
    elif (choice == 'specific'):
        choice = choice.lower()
        question_word.num_words = int(input("Enter how many words to recall: \n"))

    print("You have to recall them in the correct order. \n")
    time.sleep(5)

            print(f"Correct (+1)")
            score = score + 1
        else:
            print(f"Wrong (-1): The word was: {question_word.answer_words[answer]}")
            score = score - 1
        print(f"Your total score: {score}")
    
    def continues_word():
        continues = input(f"Type 'Y' if you want to start over or 'N' if you want to terminate the program. \n")
        continues = continues.lower()

Exactly, the same approach is being used for Countries and Flowers, with the only difference of changing the file containing the appropriate words. Here is the code for both of these files.

Finally, we are at the numbers section. We create a list that contains all numbers, from 0 to 9. Then, the user is prompted to enter how many digits to remember. A random digit is presented each time, and when all digits are shown, then the user must type them in the exact order. If they recalled correctly, they get 1 point, otherwise -1 point. Lastly, a statistics table is presented, showing the number of times each number is presented.

import random

import os
import sys

numbers = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
