Complete Python Programming Masterclass Beginner to Advanced

Project #1 – Python Magic 8 Ball

This project will present you with the opportunity to apply the skills that you have learned up to this point with the course.

1.1BUILD A MAGIC 8 BALL APP IN PYTHON

This project will require you to create a single Python file (.py). You will find a file called, “PythonMagicBall-08-01.py” attached to this lecture. You can use this file as a starting point for the project.

The project will prompt the user to type a question. The code will then randomize a response and return (print) the response back to the user, based on 8 pre-defined response.

Step 1

• Two modules will need to be imported into your Python file.

• “sys” module and the “random” module

• You can read more on the “sys” module here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/sys.html

• You can read more on the “random” module here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/random.html

• Research the two modules by using the “dir” function. Ex. dir(math)

• Identify any of the attributes/functions that will help you in completing this project

Requirements

• When a user runs the project, they should receive a prompt (printed message), asking them to ask the magic 8 ball a question.

• The user will then type in a question and press the enter key.

• Logic, built in the code, will then return a random response back to the user.

• Valid random response will include:

§  “IT IS CERTAIN”

§  “YOU MAY RELY ON IT”

§  “AS I SEE IT, YES”

§  “OUTLOOK LOOKS GOOD”

§  “MOST LIKELY”

§  IT IS DECIDELY SO”

§  “WITHOUT A DOUBT”

§  “YES, DEFINETLY”

• You can decide how to store the valid responses and how to randomly return on of the responses.

• The program should continue to run in a loop, returning a random response for each question they user types.

• If the user doesn’t enter a question and the presses the enter key, then the application should quit.
