Let’s code: Build a number guesser from scratch in 15 minutes
1 min readNov 15, 2023
Yesterday, I wrote about a great coding project idea that my coworker told me about.
Today, I’m building that project in Python to show you how it works & what you can learn from it! Maybe you can build it in another language or library you’re learning!
I strongly believe in building small coding projects & quickly iterating on them to make them more advanced, so let’s put it into practice.

- 00:39 Generating random numbers
- 02:48 Getting user input
- 04:46 Exception handling
- 06:29 Checking valid guesses
- 08:35 Adding a max size
- 09:24 Refactoring (functions/exceptions)
- 12:29 Cleaner error handling
- 13:30 Fixing a bugs
- 14:37 What all we’ve learned
- 15:59 Adding one more feature (couldn’t resist)
- 16:48 Where to go from here
