Here is my refinement of the number game:

*The player is told to guess a number between 1 and 10 *The player is then notified whether the guess is correct or not if not, then the player is provided with a hint as to whether they should guess higher or *lower. They are also informed about the number of tries they have left *once the player guess the right answer or runs out of tries. The game ends

import random

#generate a number between 1 and 10
secret_number = random.randint(1, 10)
counter = 0
tries = 5
while True:
    counter += 1
    tries -= 1
    #get a number guess from the player
    player_guess = int(input("""I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10
Take a guess: """))
    #compare guess to secret number
    if player_guess == secret_number:
        #print hit/miss
        print("""Congrats! you got it right!""")
        break
    elif counter == 5:
        print("""No more tries left!""")
        break
    else:
        print("Whoops! you got it wrong. Try again: ")
        print("Tries left: {}".format(tries))
        #Provide the player with a hint
        if player_guess < secret_number:
            print("HINT: guess higher")
        elif player_guess > secret_number:
            print("HINT: guess lower")

I got an easy way to make it.

import random

# generate a random number between 1 and 10
secret_num = random.randint(1, 10)

# Player only got 5 chances to guess the number
chances = 5

while True:
    chances -= 1  

    # get a number guess from the palyer
    guess = int(input("Give me a number between 1 and 10: "))

    # compare guest to the secret number
    if guess == secret_num:
        print("Wow, u got the number {}!".format(secret_num))
        break
    # After player done 5 times, quit the game    
    elif chances == 0:
        print("Game Over Baby")
        break    
    elif guess > secret_num:
        print("""
    Make it smaller
    Left {} times to try""".format(chances))
    elif guess < secret_num:
        print("""
    Make it bigger
    Left {} times to try""".format(chances))

Nice job guys! Looks like we had the same thought on higher/lower. I also wanted to practice defining an function and calling it multiple times to save on typing. So I added another print line letting the player know what numbers they have already tried :)

import random
tracker = []
def track_input():
    print("You already tried {}.".format(tracker))
#generate random number 1-10
secret_num = random.randint(1, 10)
while True:
    #get a number guess from player
    guess = int(input("Guess a number between 1 and 10: "))
    tracker.append(guess)
    #compare guess to secret number
    if guess == secret_num:
        print("You got it! The number was {}".format(secret_num))
        break
    elif guess < secret_num:
        print("Nope! Try higher...")
        track_input()
    else:
        print("Sorry, try lower...")
        track_input()
    #print hit/miss
