Revision 3. </p> <p>Popular Snake game with Python-Pygame module. <strong>Important:</strong> If you try to run this script without special <strong>png-wav</strong> files it will fail, you have to put following files to a directory with this script. "apple.png","snakehead.png","intro.wav","dead.wav". They are basically apple picture, head of snake, intro sound and dead sound.Without them script will not run. Just make inactive the statements intro.wav and dead.wav, and find a little apple picture and snake head :).Or you can play the game just install it. <strong>Here is the installer:</strong> <a href="http://dosya.co/7c6f15c0f4d04514/Flafel-1.26-win32.rar" rel="nofollow">http://dosya.co/7c6f15c0f4d04514/Flafel-1.26-win32.rar</a> It will install the game in program files, you can find it in search "Flafel" and click to Flafel.exe. </p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Guess a number was part 1 was Human trying to guess a random number between 1 and 100 in 10 tries. This time the computer is trying to guess. Simple program for beginner to learn very simple formula as a start to an algorithm for AI. And conditional choice. The program is not perfect, as it will not force a victory when the computer guessed right, neither it can control if you cheated or not. But this is not the goal here. </p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Random maze generator using depth-first search.</p> <p>It starts the maze path from a random cell and there is no exit defined but actually any 2 cells on the path (white cells) can be assigned to be entry and exit locations. (I could just add code to randomly select 2 white cells and change their colors to something else but I thought it looks better this way.)</p>

Entry and exit points for each path can be assigned arbitrarily. (I never seen this kind of maze anywhere before but I think calling them multi-maze should be okay.)</p>

Yes, you can write your program as one large function, but should you? This recipe demonstrates that program without proper style can lead to a mess very quickly. Practice good coding standards, or you can easily loose focus and the ability to maintain your code.</p>
