Mini-project description — “Guess the number” game

One of the simplest two-player games is “Guess the number”. The first player thinks of a secret 
number in some known range while the second player attempts to guess the number. After each guess, 
the first player answers either “Higher”, “Lower” or “Correct!” depending on whether the secret 
number is higher, lower or equal to the guess. In this project, you will build a simple interactive 
program in Python where the computer will take the role of the first player while you play as the 
second player.

You will interact with your program using an input field and several buttons. For this project, 
we will ignore the canvas and print the computer's responses in the console. Building an initial 
version of your project that prints information in the console is a development strategy that you 
should use in later projects as well. Focusing on getting the logic of the program correct before 
trying to make it display the information in some “nice” way on the canvas usually saves lots of 
time since debugging logic errors in graphical output can be tricky.

For Ease of Creation I'm Useing the 7 Parts of Programming Structure (Modified to 8)
0. Import Python Modules
1. Globals (states)
2. Helper Functions
3. Classes (N/A)
4. Define Event Handlers
5. Create a Frame
6. register Event Handlers (N/A)
7. start frame and timers
