I have followed a tutorial to create a guessing game in python 3 and i thought i could make it better so i created a timed intro with error inputs recognition and it all seemed to be going well.
However, when i came time to ensure when a player inputted anything other than a number(IE exception handling) it just fails out.
The game it self functions just not the non integer in the guessgame

I have tried the following with ValueError:

• if, else


• try, except


• if guess == ValueError

All to no avail, anyway, code is below. Any help to solve this would be much appreciated.

import time

def guessgame():
 import random # brings in random generator
 number = random.randint(1, 20) # assigns random value between 1, 20
 numofguesses = 0 # sets number of guesses to 0
 print("Hello what is your name?")
 name = input()
 print("The number i am thinking of is between 1 and 20", name) # user 
defined name
 for numofguesses in range(6):# if number of guesses left is less that 6 
do the following
 print("Take a guess")
 guess = input() # assign guess variable to user input
 guess = int(guess) # ensures guess is an number

 if guess < number:
 print("Number is too low!")

 if guess > number:
 print("Number is too high!")

 if guess == number:
 break
 else:
 if ValueError:#THIS IS THE JERK THAT DOESNT WORK!!!!
 print("Please enter a number")

 if guess == number:
 numofguesses = str(numofguesses)
 print("Well done", name, "You guessed the number in: ", numofguesses)
 gameiniate()

 if guess != number:
 number = str(number)
 print(" Wrong! unlucky, the number was: ", number)

def gameiniate():
 print("Would you like to play a game? Yes or No")
 game = input().lower()
 yeschoice = ("yes", "y")
 nochoice = ("no", "n")

 if game in yeschoice:
 guessgame()
 elif game in nochoice: # command to exit script if no or n typed
 print("thats too bad")
 print("type exit to close")
 if input() == "exit":
 exit()
 else:
 print("Please respond with Yes or No")
 gameiniate()

time.sleep(4)
gameiniate()
