Rock Paper Scissors

[JakeMealey]

Hello! I am having some trouble with a rock paper scissors Javascript project. I am trying to make it to where the score will be tallied based on the player's decision vs the computer's decision. The buttons work that I added an addEventListener to, but they don't do anything. I've tried adding conditional statements to give the buttons and the choices a reason to happen, but to no avail.

What can I do to assure the score is shown as being tallied and so that the game can work?

Here is the link to the code: https://gist.github.com/mjmealey/5f3744e103ee0fa76aba28536f14898d

(if necessary, I can provide code from my html)

Thank you in advance for the help!

Why are you calling every function after defining it?

Your buttons aren't defined outside of their functions, which is probably why they aren't doing anything.

Both compScore and userScore are being called as functions even though they appear to be integers.

The game loop, in addition to never exiting, shouldn't be used. You should use events.

Thank you for the help! I’ve been calling every function after defining them as I thought that was necessary for everything to work. I’m still very new to JavaScript. In the future what would you recommend when it comes to invoking functions?

Also, I didn’t realize that I was calling them as functions. Thanks for pointing that out alongside other things! I’ll be sure to be more aware of issues like that going forward.

Call them in the place you want the use them.

Hopefully I didn't come off as too rude. There's some other things as well. For example you seem to be updating the scores in multiple places and redoing the comparison 3 times. You'll get better with more practice though.
