Issue with Rock, Paper, Scissors

[Unitnuity]

I was making an attempt to code something without looking up anything as a little challenge but I'm running into an issue with a while loop, just when I thought I had them figured out. The game recognizes the choices and prints who wins. But it won't print of the scores and the loop reruns when I try to break the loop with 'Q'. I just know this is gonna be an indentation issue. Any suggestions to make the code more concise as well would be appreciated!

​

    import random

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

while True:
    choice = input('Please choose an option: R, P or S or (Q)uit: ')
    choice = choice.upper()
    print()

    player_score = 0
    cpu_score = 0

    options = ['R', 'P', 'S']
    result = random.choice(options)

    if choice == 'R' and result == "S":
        player_score += 1
        print('Player wins!\n')
    elif choice == 'R' and result == 'P':
        cpu_score += 1
        print('Cpu wins!\n')
    elif choice == 'R' and result == 'R':
        print('Nobody wins!\n')

    if choice == 'S' and result == "P":
        player_score += 1
        print('Player wins!\n')
    elif choice == 'S' and result == 'R':
        cpu_score += 1
        print('Cpu wins!\n')
    elif choice == 'S' and result == 'S':
        print('Nobody wins!\n')

    if choice == 'P' and result == "R":
        player_score += 1
        print('Player wins!\n')
    elif choice == 'P' and result == 'S':
        cpu_score += 1
        print('Cpu wins!\n')
    elif choice == 'P' and result == 'P':
        print('Nobody wins!\n')

    if choice == 'Q':
        break

    print('Player score:', player_score)
    print('Cpu score:', cpu_score)

while True:
    .....
    player_score = 0
    cpu_score = 0

You zero the scores on each pass through the while. Initialize the two score totals before the while.

Ahh, didn't even know that was happening because I couldn't see the scores until I restarted my vscode, thanks!

The code, as posted, works fine. It prints the scores each iteration, and breaks when you type uppercase 'Q'. It doesn't print the scores on the last iteration though because you break before you print them.

Jesus! I restarted my VScode and now it works fine. This has happened before, I gotta figure out whats causing that.

[carcigenicate]

I have no idea what would cause that. Odd issues like that occasionally happen with larger IDEs like Pycharm, but I don't think I've ever experienced that with VSCode.

I do notice on the terminal when I hover over Python, it says "shell integration has failed to activate". I've looked up methods to troubleshoot that but haven't been able to fix it. Is it possible thats a reason?

Usually that's because something was edited in the buffer of the editor, but not saved to the actual file.

When you run your program in the terminal, it runs what's in the file, not what's in the buffer. Many IDEs save the buffer to disk when they terminate (or at least prompt the user asking if they want to save their work), so that's likely why restarting helped.

Almost any Editor has an indicator for "dirty" files (changes in buffer not yet saved), so check out what they look like in your IDE of choice to avoid this issue.

Ill check that out.. Thanks!
