📌 Step 9: Define play_game function

This fucntions runs the full game of 1 or more rounds and shows summary.

1. This functions takes one argument filename
2. Reads the file and turn the file contents into a list of words
3. Initialises:
   • rounds
   • number of games
   • number of wins
   • a dictionary to track wins in across 1 to 6 guesses
4. Repeatedly call the appropriate function that play a round
5. After each round:
   • check if player won
   • print success or failure message showing the correct word
   • update number of wins if player won
6. Ask the player if they want to continue
   • ‘Y’ to continue
   • ‘N’ to stop
   • else print error message and ask again until valid
7. If player stops playing:
   • print summary showing win percentage and win distribution
8. Function should end after printing the summary

💡 Hint

• First open the file and read the words into a list.
  • You can use .split()
• Do not forget to close the file after reading.
• The dictionary counts how many wins happened in 1 guess, 2 guesses, and so on (up to 6).
• Use a while True: loop so the game keeps running until the player chooses to stop.
• At the start of each round, increase the round number by 1.
• The function in that plays a round takes two arguments and returns a tuple.
  • You need to consider what arguments it takes when calling and how to use its return value in your code.

ℹ️

• The value returned by the function includes:
  • the game result
  • the chosen word
  • You can use indexing to access them.

⭐

  game = function(read, rounds)
  word = game[1]

• If the round was won update:
  • number of wins
  • the correct value inside dictionary of wins
• Always increase number of games after each round
• The win percentage can be calculated using:

⭐

percentage = round((number_of_wins / number_of_games) * 100)

• The win distribution displays the number of wins across the number of guesses 1-6:
  • if the number of wins is 0, print the number
  • otherwise print # repeated by number of wins for each number of guesses, followed by count
    ⭐

    '#' * (num_repeats)
