Here's a Cheating Magic 8-Ball program where you can secretly control the answers! This program allows you to choose whether you want a "positive," "negative," or "neutral" response, while making it appear as if the Magic 8-Ball is giving random answers.

To keep the "cheating" subtle, the program will take your "mood" input and select a response that fits, so you can guide the outcome to match your desired answer.

class CheatingMagic8Ball:
    def __init__(self):
        # Define responses categorized by mood
        self.responses = {
            "positive": [
                "It is certain.",
                "It is decidedly so.",
                "Without a doubt.",
                "Yes – definitely.",
                "You may rely on it.",
                "As I see it, yes.",
                "Most likely.",
                "Outlook good.",
                "Yes.",
                "Signs point to yes."
            ],
            "neutral": [
                "Reply hazy, try again.",
                "Ask again later.",
                "Better not tell you now.",
                "Cannot predict now.",
                "Concentrate and ask again."
            ],
            "negative": [
                "Don't count on it.",
                "My reply is no.",
                "My sources say no.",
                "Outlook not so good.",
                "Very doubtful."
            ]
        }

        if mood == "random":
            mood = random.choice(["positive", "neutral", "negative"])
        
        # Select a response from the chosen mood category

How It Works

1. Mood-Based Responses: The program defines answers based on mood categories: "positive," "neutral," and "negative."
2. User-Controlled Mood: You can secretly set the "mood" before asking a question, allowing you to nudge the outcome towards positive, neutral, or negative.
3. Random Option: If you genuinely want a random response, you can choose the "random" mood to get a mix.

Example Output

With this Cheating Magic 8-Ball, you’re in control of the mood, making it appear like pure chance while subtly steering the response in your desired direction!
