For my coding project, I decided to make somewhat of a joke. I decided to code a program that allows the user to input a number, claiming to be able to read the user’s mind, when in reality, it’s just repeating the inputted number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Asks user to input a number<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Pretends to think while displaying lines like “reading brainwaves”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. “Guesses” the number by repeating whatever the user input<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Asks if it was correct, and allows user to play again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I imported “time” and “random” in order to be able to create delays in between messages, as well as pick random lines, which will be demonstrated shortly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Next, I created the function “read_mind”, and added a short description.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This monstrosity of code was just my lazy attempt at making the program’s responses random. I didn’t want to figure out how to use %s and the like, so I just repeated each line a different amount of times, so that I could have rare lines like “Super rare message.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

This picks 3 lines from the line bank to display during the “loading” process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>

This line is where all the magic happens, as the program repeats the inputted number to you, successfully reading your mind.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>

Finally, this whimsically asks the user whether or not it was right, even though it already knows. It concludes by asking the user if they would like to play again.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
