Number_game.py - what am I doing wrong?

When entering python number_game.py in console - nothing happens,

here is the code:

import random

def game(): # generate a random number between 1 and 10 secret_num = random.randint(1, 10) guesses = []

while len(guesses) < 5:
    try:
        # get a number guess from the player
        guess = int(input("Guess a number between 1 and 10: "))
    except ValueError:
        print("{} isn't a number!".format(guess))
    else:
        # compare guess to secret number
        if guess == secret_num:
            print("You got it right! My number was {}".format(secret_num))
            break
        elif guess < secret_num:
            print("My number is high than {}".format(guess))
        else:
            print("My number is lower than {}".format(guess))
        guesses.append(guess)
else:
    print("You didnt get it! My number was {}".format(secret_num))
play_again = input("Do you want to play again? Y/n ")
if play_again.lower() != 'n':
    game()
else:
    print("Bye!")

Start of code is like this - (not sure why it doesnt catch it in the post):

import random

def game():

secret_num = random.randint(1, 10)

guesses = []

You have to put a line like this before your code:

```number_game.py

And after your code:

```

:point_right: It looks like you define the game function but never call it.

The last line of your code file should probably be (with no indent):

game()
