The project should encompass elements from chapters on decision structures $($if$,$ if$-$else, if$-$elif$-$else$),$ loops $($for$,$ while$),$ and the use of random numbers, ensuring to include method definitions with self$-$documenting code for clarity and maintenance.

Project Idea: Guess the Number Game with Difficulty Levels

Objective: Create a console game where the player guesses a randomly generated number within a certain range. The game will include multiple difficulty levels affecting the range and number of guesses allowed. Implement self$-$documenting methods for generating the number, checking the guess, and displaying hints.

Features:

Difficulty Levels: Easy $(1-10,$ unlimited guesses$),$ Medium $(1-50,10$ guesses$),$ Hard $(1-100,5$ guesses$).$

Random Number Generation: Use the random module to generate a target number.

Guess Attempts: Allow the user a set number of attempts based on the difficulty level.

User Input Validation: Ensure the input is a valid integer within the range and not repetitive.

Hints: After each incorrect guess, provide a hint if the guess is higher or lower than the target.

Score Keeping: Calculate score based on difficulty level and the number of attempts taken.

Replayability: Ask the player if they want to play again at the end of the game, allowing them to choose a different difficulty level.

Methods to Implement:

generate$\_$number$($difficulty$)$: Generates and returns a random number within the range based on difficulty.

get$\_$user$\_$guess$()$: Prompts the user for a guess and validates it$.$

check$\_$guess$($guess$,$ target$)$: Compares the guess to the target number, returning a hint or success message.

display$\_$hint$($guess$,$ target$)$: Provides a hint based on how the guess compares to the target.

calculate$\_$score$($attempts$,$ difficulty$)$: Calculates and returns the score based on attempts and difficulty level.

main$()$: The main game loop handling the game flow, including selecting difficulty, guessing, and asking to play again.

Coding Practices:

Self$-$Documenting Code: Use meaningful variable and method names that describe their functionality.

Comments and Docstrings: Include comments and docstrings explaining the purpose of methods and complex logic.

Modular Design: Break the game into smaller, reusable methods to handle specific tasks.
