==================================================

🎮 Choose Difficulty:
  1. Easy   (1-50,  10 attempts)
  2. Medium (1-100,  7 attempts)
  3. Hard   (1-200,  5 attempts)

Enter choice (1-3): 2

🎯 I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.
📊 Difficulty: Medium | Attempts: 7
----------------------------------------

[7 left] Your guess: 50
📈 Too low. Go higher!

[6 left] Your guess: 75
📉 Too high. Go lower!

[5 left] Your guess: 63
🎉 CORRECT! The number was 63!
✅ You got it in 3 attempt(s)!
🏆 Score: 50 points
🌟 NEW HIGH SCORE: 50!

🧠 Concepts Used

• random.randint() — random number generation
• while loops — game loop and input validation
• if/elif/else — branching logic for hints
• try/except — handling invalid input
• f-strings — formatted output
• Functions — clean code organization
