Simple Games for Python Beginners
summary
Creates a number-guessing game and a simple card War simulation using Python 3 and IDLE, showing step‑by‑step code: variables, if/elif/else, while loops, for loops, lists, slicing, pop/append, and basic logging. Uses the standard library for randomness (random.randint(1,100) and from random import shuffle), validates input with try/except ValueError and continue/break, enforces a max‑guesses limit (configurable), deals/shuffles a 52‑card deck, and demonstrates the code runs with expected results (e.g., 26/26 split).
