Heads or Tails

In this challenge we will create a game of heads to tails using the following rules:

• The game will consist of 5 rounds.
• In each round:
  • the user will make a guess,
  • the computer will flip a coin,
  • the player will score 1 point for a correct guess.

In order to complete this game we will first create a function called flipCoin() to flip a coin and return the value “Heads” or “Tails”.

Here is the flowchart for this function:

We will then use this function in our game:

From flowchart to Python code

Using both flowcharts provided above, you can now implement the full code for this game:

Extension Task #1

Can you tweak this code so that the user can only enter the value “Heads” or “Tails” and nothing else. (If they do, the program should ask them to re-enter their guess until they enter a valid guess.)

Extension Task #2

Add some code so that when the 5 rounds are over, the user is given the option to either start a new game or to quit.
