Hello, i want to share my solution to the Project Coin Flip.

It’s on github https://github.com/Coroto17/coinflip

Since it was just me doing it, i didn’t use branching, just commits to master. I know i need to practice that more Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

Please let me know on any suggestions, be it about the code, the way i putted it on github, some better or cleaner ways to do it, etc.

I will share it here too, for the ones that doesn’t want to go on github.

I had a hard time figuring how to manage incorrect inputs on the play_again part, it keeps going on continue whenever i input a number or a letter other than x, so i tricked it with the message: “press any key” lol. Some feedback on the matter would be appreciated.

In the github there are various commits where you can check the evolution of the code, from the basic requests to the final ones.
