I'm making a guessing game where I guess words. Is it possible to make it without the random module? I got to here:

print("What`s your name?")
name = input()
print("Hello, %s! this is a guessing game." %name)
print("If you want to start hit ENTER, if not you can exit")

input()

print("Okay, so you want to continue! Nice lets start")
print("What animal lives in Africa and has a long neck")

animal = "giraffe"

while animal != "giraffe":
    print("Wrong answer! Try again.")

Basically, I got to an infinitive loop and I don't know how to make people try again. Also for every person that asked "why don't you want to use the random module", well I'm trying to learn do I learn when I make it easier for myself? I need to solve problems and this is the problem I wanted to solve.

    You have not used an input statement, for the answer. – PCM Sep 06 '21 at 14:45

    If you need something random, then random module is a way to go. Why don't you want to use it? Standard library exists for the sole reason of being available whenever you need it – h4z3 Sep 06 '21 at 14:50
  • Can you please clarify *why* you don't want to use the ``random`` module so that it's clear what else people can/cannot use? For example, is using Unix ``/dev/random`` allowed? Is using a custom PRNG allowed? – MisterMiyagi Sep 06 '21 at 14:53
  • Or for that matter, how randomness is relevant in this case at all? The code has no choice at all, so there is nothing to randomise. – MisterMiyagi Sep 06 '21 at 14:56
  • For the second part see [Asking the user for input until they give a valid response](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23294658/asking-the-user-for-input-until-they-give-a-valid-response). – martineau Sep 06 '21 at 15:08
  • What does this have anything to do with the random module to begin with? You haven't gotten anywhere close to needing it yet. – Mad Physicist Sep 06 '21 at 15:13
  • I checked about what I wanted to do on the internet before creating this post. There I saw people using the random module for problems related to mine. That's why I created this post so I could ask about how do I fix the code to make it work without this module if it were needed. – Ziolekx Sep 06 '21 at 15:18

Try:

guess = input("What animal lives in Africa and has a long neck?")

while guess!="giraffe":
    guess = input("Wrong answer! Try again:")

this could work @Ziolekx ?

#! /usr/bin/env python3


print("What`s your name?")
name = input()
print("Hello, %s! this is a guessing game." %name)
print("If you want to start hit ENTER, if not you can exit")

input()

print("Okay, so you want to continue! Nice lets start")
print("What animal lives in Africa and has a long neck")

animal = ''

while animal != "giraffe":
    animal = input('Enter your guess: ')
    if(animal == 'giraffe'):
        print('You win!')
    else:
        print("Wrong answer! Try again.")
  • a nice addition to your script would be to lowercase the input and then compare, in case someone added "Giraffe" for example

you can take input form the user inside your for loop. And also you are making wrong comparison.

correct code:

while name!= animal:
    print("Wrong answer! Try again.")
    name = input('Input Answer again: ')
