Guess the Number Game

Introduction

This project contains two versions of the Guess the Number game:

• main.py: The basic version, implementing the core guessing functionality.
• main_stretch.py: The stretch version, supporting multiple rounds and personal best tracking.

Game Rules

• The program randomly selects an integer between 1 and 100.
• The player enters a guess, and the program responds with "Too high!", "Too low!", or "Correct!".
• When the correct number is guessed, the program displays the total number of attempts.

Stretch Version Features

• After each round, the player is asked whether to play again.
• The program keeps track of and displays the best (fewest) number of guesses across rounds.
• If a new personal best is achieved, a special message is shown.
