[Tutor] Guess my number game

[Murtog]

Try this code:

#The Guess My Number Game
#
#The computer picks a random number between 1 and 50
#The player tries to guess it and the computer lets
#the player know if the guess is too high, too low
#or right on the money
#If the player fails to guess the number after 5 tries
#the game ends and the computer prints a chastising message
#
import random

print """\t\t\tWelcome to \"Guess My Number\"!
\nThink of a number between 1 and 50.
I will try to guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n"""

number = input ("Enter the number: ")

#the computer guesses the number using the random function
guess = random.randrange (50) + 1
tries = 1
useds = []

#FIXED
while (guess != number):
        if (guess > number):
                print "You chose", guess, "the number is Lower ..."
                useds.append(guess)
        else:
                print "You chose", guess, "the number is Higher ..."
                useds.append(guess)

        guess = random.randrange (50) + 1
        if guess in useds:
                while guess in useds:
                        guess = random.randrange(50) + 1
        else:
            tries += 1

print "You guessed it! The number was", number
print "And it only took you", tries, "tries!\n"

raw_input ("Press <ENTER> to exit.")

It should work now. Cheers! =]
