Binary Search Guessing Game (GUI)

This is a small desktop application built with Python's built-in tkinter module. It's a game designed to help users practice the logic of a binary search.

Description

The game generates a secret random number between 1 and 100. The user then has a limited number of 7 guesses to find the number. After each guess, the app will provide a hint:

  • "Too LOW"
  • "Too HIGH"

The user must use these hints to "zero in" on the correct number, just like a binary search algorithm. 7 guesses is the mathematical minimum required to find any number between 1-100 (since $2^7 = 128$).

Features

  • Full graphical user interface (GUI).
  • Random number generation for endless replayability.
  • "Too HIGH" / "Too LOW" hints to guide the user.
  • Tracks the number of guesses remaining.
  • "Reset" button to start a new game at any time.

How to Run

  1. Ensure you have Python 3 installed (which includes tkinter).
  2. Run the script from your terminal: 
    python binary_search_game.py
  3. A GUI window will pop up to play the game.

Modules Used

  • tkinter: (Python's built-in GUI library)
  • random: (Built-in module for generating the secret number)
