I need serious help with this Rock, Paper, Scissors program. The
program runs smoothly but I can't get the score to print. Please help
me with this one aspect! Here is my code right now:
Welcome to Python Help.
In future please use a meaningful subject, such as 'Rock Paper Scissors"
Always reply-all so a copy goes to the list.
We had a similar discussion recently on the Python-Tutor list. I
submitted an alternate version of the game, which I reproduce here for
your perusal. It uses some features of Python which may be new to you.
Please study it, as it may offer some learning.
import random
print """Welcome to Rock,Paper, Scissors! This is a game of chance.
The computer randomly picks one of three throws.
Rock beats Scissors, but is beaten by Paper.
Scissors beat Paper, but are beaten by Rock.
Paper beats Rock, but is beaten by Scissors.
You enter:
r for Rock
s for Scissors
p for Paper
q to Quit'"""
wins = loses = 0
while True: # "endless" loop - exited by break statement
player = raw_input("Please pick your throw: (r, s, p, or q ):")
if player == "q":
break # exits the loop
elif player not in "rps": # check for valid entry
print "Invalid entry"
else:
computer= random.choice("rsp") # no need for a list - a string
is a sequence
print "Computer throw:", computer
if player == computer: # testing various conditiions cam be
greatly simplified
print "Tie! Throw again."
elif player + computer in ["rs", "sp", "pr"]:
print "You win! " + player + " beats " + computer
wins += 1 # simpler than wins = wins + 1
else:
print "You lose! " + computer + " beats " + player
loses +=1
print """Game Summary
Wins: %s
Loses:" %s""" % (wins,loses) # using % formatting and triple quoted string
print"Thanks for playing!"
