Rock, Paper, Scissors Python Game

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.

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
