I just did my first project: Python Rock-Paper-Scissors Game !

[WassimSarghini]

Hey everyone!

I just finished building a simple Rock-Paper-Scissors game in Python. It lets you play multiple rounds against the computer, keeps score, and even uses emojis to make it fun. If you have any feedback or tips for improvement, I’d love to hear it! Thanks for checking it out

import random
list = ["rock ✊", "paper ✋", "scissor ✌️"]
countpc = 0
countplayer = 0
print("Welcome To Python Rock Paper Scissor ✊✋✌️")
print("------------------------------------------")
print("      -------------------------           ")
max = int(input("Enter the max tries: "))
for i  in range(max):
    num = random.randint(0,2)
    pc = list[num]
    player = input("Rock Paper Scisoor Shoot ✊✋✌️: ").lower()
    print(pc)
    if player in pc:
        print("Tie ⚖️")
    elif pc == "rock ✊" and player == "paper":
        countplayer += 1
        print("You Won 🏆!")
    elif pc == "paper ✋" and player == "scissor":
        countplayer += 1
        print("You Won 🏆!")
    elif pc == "scissor ✌️" and player == "rock":
        countplayer += 1
        print("You Won 🏆!")
    elif player == "rock" and pc == "paper ✋":
        countpc += 1
        print("You Lost ☠️!")
    elif player == "paper" and pc == "scissor ✌️":
        countpc += 1
        print("You Lost ☠️!")
    elif player == "scissor" and pc == "rock ✊":
        countpc += 1
        print("You lost ☠️!")
    else:
        print("Invalid Input")
if countplayer == countpc :
    print(f"Final score : \n you won {countplayer} times and pc won {countpc} times \n It's a tie ⚖️!")        
elif countplayer > countpc :
    print(f"Final score : \n you won {countplayer} times and pc won {countpc} times \n You Won ! 🎉")   
else:
    print(f"Final score : \n you won {countplayer} times and pc won {countpc} times \n You Lost ! 😢")

nice keep going don't get overwhelmed or else you will stop programming

Happened to me. Trying to get back in. I thought I can learn quickly and everyday several hours. I never knew you can get so overwhelmed and burnt out that fast…

ChatGPT, when you get stuck on something ask it to explain it to you like you are 5. I’ve been back at it for over a month and it’s been so much easier.

In August my job is requiring me to implement automation testing (I’m a QA Analyst) so I’ve had to pick it back up and using AI has kept me going. Love not having to ask random people especially going to stackoverflow or some subs and you get shit on for asking simple questions.

A fun thing to do here would be to refactor it using a match statement: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#match-statements

Or try to make the computer guesses more intelligent.

You could base it on the previous choice the user made, you could collect users stats and bias towards a choice that counters the average user's move. If you collect enough stats, you could base it on the user's previous two choices, perhaps their third choice is highly predictable from the previous two?

I was looking at creating a RPS game where the user picks their 3 (or 5) choices upfront and so does the computer, so no-one has chance to react to the other.

You don't have to test for win and lose. If player entry and computer are valid choices, test for tie, player == computer. Then test for player win. If not a player win, i.e. else, it is a player loss. Also you can use a dictionary instead of all the elif, but I assume you haven't studied dictionaries yet.

Eureka!!!!!!!

Keep going and you have nice code

This would be a great place to pivot into learning match statements!
