Problem: Magic 8 Ball 🎱

For this lab, you will build a 20 sided magic 8-ball. If you are curious about all the choices, you can read up more on them here.

A standard Magic 8 Ball has twenty possible answers, including ten affirmative answers (🟢), five non-committal answers (🟠), and five negative answers (🔴).

🟢 It is certain
🟢 It is decidedly so
🟢 Without a doubt
🟢 Yes definitely
🟢 You may rely on it
🟢 As I see it, yes
🟢 Most likely
🟢 Outlook good
🟢 Yes
🟢 Signs point to yes
🟠 Reply hazy, try again
🟠 Ask again later
🟠 Better not tell you now
🟠 Cannot predict now
🟠 Concentrate and ask again
🔴 Don't count on it
🔴 My reply is no
🔴 My sources say no
🔴 Outlook not so good
🔴 Very doubtful

Since we can't have our user physically shake a magic 8-ball, we will ask them to enter a random number from 1-20 to represent a shake. The answers should line up with the numbers 1-20 following the order they're listed in above.

We will assume that our user can't access this page to try to cheat when using the magic 8-ball program.

Learning Outcomes

Gain experience with Python selection statements.
Gain experience with Python functions.

Assignment

Download magic8ball.py and rename it according to the instructions above.
Modify the program by adding the missing code inside the functions with a #TODO comment.

Do not change any of the code in main()! your functions should call eachother!

Grading - 100 Points

10 Points - The missing get_question function is implemented properly (prompts user and returns a boolean).
10 Points - The missing get_roll function is implemented properly (prompts user, validates input, and returns an integer).
10 Points - The missing affirmative_response function is implemented properly (returns a string response based on the roll).
10 Points - The missing non_committal_response function is implemented properly (returns a string response based on the roll).
10 Points - The missing negative_response function is implemented properly (returns a string response based on the roll).
20 Points - The missing shake_8ball function is implemented properly (selects and returns the appropriate response based on the roll).
10 Points - The program handles invalid inputs gracefully in get_roll and provides user-friendly error messages.
10 Points - The program demonstrates effective use of selection statements to determine responses.
10 Points - The solution is of high quality (5 points), appropriate comments are added to your solution, and instructional comments are removed (5 points).
