How to test the high-score in my Python-game

[Spiik]

This is my first coding project, where I am doing a 6 x 6-matrix matching game ("Memory"). Now I have tried applying a high-score in the end of my game. The problem is, to be able to try if my high-score works I need to complete the whole game which takes long time.

How do I come around this problem? I'm happy to share my whole code to get feedback.

Thanks in advance!

i can't think of a work around since score is determined by total matches in total guesses.

Create a separate function for your high score feature that you can call independently from the rest of your game code. This will allow you to test the high score feature without having to play through the game.

Use test data to simulate game play and see how the high score feature behaves. For example, you could create an array of test scores and pass it to your high score function to see how it handles different inputs.

Use a debugging tool such as a print statement to track the value of your high score variable as it changes throughout the game. This can help you identify any issues with the high score feature and determine what changes are needed to get it working properly.
