# Higher Lower
A console game from Udemy's *100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp*
(day 14). Two Instagram accounts are shown. Guess which one has more followers.
Every right guess adds a point and the winner stays for the next round. A wrong
guess ends the game.
```
Compare A: Cristiano Ronaldo, a Footballer, from Portugal.
_ __
| | / /____

| |/ (__ )
|___/____(_)
Against B: Ariana Grande, a Musician and actress, from United States.
Who has more followers? Type 'A' or 'B':
```
- Python 3.13 or newer, no runtime dependencies.
- The function names follow the assignment: `format_data`, `check_answer`.
- Each account is shown once per game; if you get through all 50, you win.
- Follower counts are in millions and come from the assignment's data set.
## Requirements
- [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) 3.13 or newer
- Optional: [Doxygen](https://www.doxygen.nl/) to build the source documentation
## Set up
Create a local virtual environment in `.venv`, activate it, and upgrade `pip`.
Windows (PowerShell):
```powershell
python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
```
Windows (Git Bash), Linux and macOS:
```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/Scripts/activate # Linux/macOS: source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
```
The game itself needs nothing more. To run the tests and the code checks, install the
development tools:
```bash
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
## Run the game
```bash
python -m higher_lower
```
Type `A` or `B` and press Enter. Press Ctrl+C to quit.
## Run the tests
```bash
python -m pytest
```
Check the code style and types:
```bash
python -m ruff check src tests
python -m ruff format --check src tests
python -m mypy src tests
```
## Build the source documentation
The source uses Doxygen comments. The HTML output goes to `docs/doxygen/html`.
```bash
doxygen Doxyfile
```
## Project layout

| `tests/` | pytest tests |
| `docs/` | Planning and review documents (business case, plan, milestones, use case) |
