The Cheetah Girls - Nostalgic Games: Hangman, Rock-Paper-Scissors, and Trivia Game

Project description

Welcome to the The Cheetah Girls - Nostalgic Games project. This repository contains three classic childhood games developed in Python: Hangman, Rock-Paper-Scissors, and a Trivia game. Each game has been carefully designed to provide an authentic and nostalgic experience, using Python to implement the logic and ensure smooth and entertaining gameplay.

The project was developed by the team "The Cheetah Girls" during Module 1 of the Data Analytics Bootcamp by Adalab.
