Number Guessing Game

The document contains a Python script for a number guessing game where players guess a randomly generated number between 1 and 100. Players can choose from three difficulty levels that determine the number of attempts allowed. The game tracks the number of guesses and updates a high score if the player achieves a better score than previously recorded.
