Introduction
Have you ever wished to tricked someone by telling their fortune? Though it’s just a fantasy. But what if a Computer program can tell the fortune of someone? In this tutorial, we’ll create a mystical fortune teller program using Python.
In this program, we will use user inputs to create a personalized fortune based on the chosen color and number, by the users. Believe me, this simple but entertaining Python program would be a great example to impress someone through your programming skills.
So, without wasting any more time, let’s create our own fortune teller program.
Basic Requirements
Make sure Python is installed in your system. If you don’t have it, grab it from their official website (https://www.python.org/).
The Program
Choose your favorite text editor (like Notepad or Visual Studio Code) and create a Python file named “fortune_teller.py”. Now copy the following code and run it.
def get_color():
colors = ["red", "green", "blue", "yellow"]
print("Pick a color: red, green, blue, or yellow")
choice = input("> ").lower()
while choice not in colors:
print("Invalid choice. Please choose a color from the list.")
choice = input("> ").lower()
return choice
def get_number(color):
# Colors with 3 or 5 letters have numbers 1, 2, 5, 6
if len(color) in [3, 5]:
numbers = ["1", "2", "5", "6"]
else:
# Colors with 4 or 6 letters have numbers 3, 4, 7, 8
numbers = ["3", "4", "7", "8"]
print(f"Pick a number from this list: {numbers[0::]}")
choice = input("> ")
while choice not in numbers:
print("Invalid choice. Please choose a number from the list.")
choice = input("> ")
return int(choice)
def get_fortune(color, number):
# It generates a random fortune based on the chosen color and number.
fortunes = {
"red": {
1: "Great passion awaits you!",
2: "Your anger might lead you astray. Be calm.",
5: "Success is within reach if you act boldly.",
6: "Love is blossoming around you. Open your heart."
},
"green": {
1: "Growth and new beginnings are on the horizon.",
2: "Envy can cloud your judgment. Focus on yourself.",
5: "Financial security is coming your way.",
6: "Reconnect with nature for peace and clarity."
},
"blue": {
3: "Knowledge is power. Keep learning and exploring.",
4: "Speak your truth with confidence. Be heard.",
7: "Travel and adventure await the curious soul.",
8: "Find peace and tranquility within yourself."
},
"yellow": {
3: "Your creativity is overflowing. Share your talents.",
4: "Optimism is key. Stay positive and attract good things.",
7: "Joy and laughter fill your days. Embrace happiness.",
8: "Be a beacon of light for those around you."
}
}
return fortunes[color][number]
def main():
"""
Runs the fortune teller program.
"""
color = get_color()
number = get_number(color)
fortune = get_fortune(color, number)
print(f"\nYour fortune for the day: {fortune}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Output
Pick a color: red, green, blue, or yellow
> blue
Pick a number from this list: ['3', '4', '7', '8']
> 4
Your fortune for the day: Speak your truth with confidence. Be heard.Pick a color: red, green, blue, or yellow
> red
Pick a number from this list: ['1', '2', '5', '6']
> 2
Your fortune for the day: Your anger might lead you astray. Be calm.Also Visit: Create a Quiz Game in Python: Test Your World GK
Conclusion
In this article, we create a funny fortune teller program using Python. It’s a simple but entertaining programming example that only uses user inputs to generate a fortune message. However, you can customize it by adding more color options with corresponding number combinations, visual elements, sound effects, etc.
So why not give it a try to impress your friends? The future of fun awaits!
