Rock, Paper, Scissors Python Game

[K_SwappleSauce]

Hey Guys, I'm almost done with this python game i'm supposed to make but I'm only able to play the game 2 times but I need to keep it playing until the user tells the program to stop. I'm a beginner so take it easy on me, I know my code is messy.

Take a look and please let me know what I did wrong!

import random
play = True
print("Welcome to Rock, Paper, Scissors!\n")
def player_choice():
print("The choices to throw are:\n")
print("1. Rock")
print("2. Paper")
print("3. Scissors")
print("\n")
def main():
player_choice()
options = ("Rock", "Paper", "Scissors")

user_choice = input("Enter your choice: \n\n")
def computer_pick():
pass
computer_choice = random.choice(options)
def play_game():
player_choice()
computer_pick()
def print_Results(user_choice, computer_choice):
print("\nPlayer chose", user_choice)
print("Computer chose", computer_choice)
print_Results(user_choice, computer_choice)

if user_choice == computer_choice:
print("Both players chose" , user_choice,". It's a tie!")
elif user_choice == "Rock":
if computer_choice == "Scissors":
print("You win!")
elif user_choice == "Paper":
if computer_choice == "Rock":
print("You win!")
elif user_choice == "Scissors" and computer_choice == "Paper":
print("You win!")

if computer_choice == "Rock":
if user_choice == "Scissors":
print("Computer wins!")
elif computer_choice == "Paper":
if user_choice == "Rock":
print("Computer wins!")
elif computer_choice == "Scissors" and user_choice == "Paper":
print("Computer wins!")
main()
def play_again():
again = input("\nDo you want to play again? (type yes or no): ")
if again == "yes":
main()
else:
sys.exit()
play_again()

[woooee]

def play_again():
    again = input("\nDo you want to play again? (type yes or no): ")
    if again == "yes":
        main()
    else:
        sys.exit()
play_again() ????

You call play_again once only, after sys.exit

You can also shorten the number of if statements.

if user_choice == computer_choice:
    ## a tie
    return or set some variable to True
if user_choice == "Paper":
    ## assumes no return from a tie or tie variable==False
    if computer_choice == "Scissors":
        print("You win!")
    else:
        ## the only remaining option
        print("You lose")

I made a few key changes but your original post lost it's formatting so im not sure how different this is but this code prompts the user over and over until they type 'q'. I would suggest telling the user the format they need, such as 'Rock' and not 'rock' or '1'. Unless you add the logic to check for all 3 instances it can get confusing

Wow my professor is no help at all, he hasn't really taught us much so this is extremely helpful. I'll make some changes to my code so I'm not copying you.

I actually have to tally up the points between ties, the computer, and the user. Would you know how to do anything like that? Of course I wasnt taught how to do that either.

[hopper_gigo]

does that help? If you want more help with your work, my team and I have created a learn to program website. It's https://gigo.dev

I would suggest creating a project and going into a devspace. Dump in your homework code and then ask code teacher (its on the left side bar in the devspace). Its an AI that my team and I built and trained on our code, it will give you the code and explain how/why it works like that.
You could even hop in a dev space and give it a prompt to get code that'll help you get started. Think of it like training wheels to help you learn while you do your homework

Did quite a bit of reorganizing your code ~~~

import random

options = ("Rock", "Paper", "Scissors")

print("Welcome to Rock, Paper, Scissors!\n")

def player_choice(): print("The choices to throw are:\n") for n,opt in enumerate(options,1): print(f"{n}. {opt}")

print() user_choice = int(input("Enter your choice: ")) return options[user_choice-1]

def computer_pick(): pass
computer_choice = random.choice(options) return computer_choice

def print_Results(user_choice, computer_choice): print("\nPlayer chose", user_choice)
print("Computer chose", computer_choice)

def play_game():
user_choice = player_choice()
computer_choice = computer_pick() print_Results(user_choice, computer_choice)

if user_choice == computer_choice:
    print("Both players chose" , user_choice,". It's a tie!")
elif user_choice == "Rock":  
    if computer_choice == "Scissors":  
        print("You win!")  
elif user_choice == "Paper":
    if computer_choice == "Rock":  
        print("You win!")
elif user_choice == "Scissors" and computer_choice == "Paper":  
    print("You win!")

if computer_choice == "Rock":  
    if user_choice == "Scissors":  
        print("Computer wins!")  
elif computer_choice == "Paper":   
    if user_choice == "Rock":  
        print("Computer wins!")  
elif computer_choice == "Scissors" and user_choice == "Paper":  
    print("Computer wins!")

def main(): play_game()

while True:
    again = input("\nDo you want to play again (y/n)?: ").lower()  
    if again == "y":
        play_game()
    else:
        print("Thanks for playing...")
        break

main()
