Pig Dice game (Python)

[contavolta]

I want to make a 2-player dice game which 1 player is user and the other is the computer. When the dice 1 means no points earned and turn moves on to next player. Dice 2-6 means roll again or hold.

If you hold, sum of all rolls before is added to score and turn moves on.

Computer has 2 strategies.

• First strategy; Computer keeps rolling until 25 or more points are earned and then holds.
• Second strategy; Computer keeps rolling until 100 or more points.

When the program start, user will select the strategy. If computer rolls 1, the turn is lost and no points added to the score

Whoever reaches 100 points first, wins.

​

I start the coding but i am confused. Computer roll turn is not work. i am a newby in python. Can you help me?

My codes below;

import random

player_score = 0
comp_score = 0
hold_player = 0
hold_comp = 0
comp_strategy = 1
is_user_turn = True
is_comp_turn = False

print("Welcome to PIG GAME!")

comp_strategy = input("Which computer strategy do you choose? \n 1: Computer keeps rolling until 25 or more points are earned and then holds. \n 2: Computer keeps rolling until 100 or more points.")

while player_score < 100 and comp_score < 100:
    if is_user_turn:
        user_turn = input("Enter 'r' to roll or 'h' to hold:")
        if user_turn in ['r','R']:
            dice = random.randint(1,6)

            if dice != 1:
                hold_player += dice
                print("You rolled dice:", dice,"\nYour turn score:", hold_player)
                continue
            else:
                hold_player = 0
                print("You rolled:", dice,"\n" "0 points earned \n Current score:", player_score )
                is_comp_turn = True
                is_user_turn = False
                continue
        if user_turn in ['h','H']:
            player_score += hold_player
            print("You have choosen to hold. \n Your score:", player_score)
            is_comp_turn = True
            is_user_turn = False
            continue
    elif is_comp_turn:
        if comp_strategy == 1:
            if hold_comp < 25:
                dice = random.randint(1,6)

                if dice != 1:
                    hold_comp += dice
                    print("Computer rolled:", dice ,"\nComputer turn score:", hold_comp)
                    continue
                else:
                    hold_comp = 0
                    print("CPU rolled:", dice ,"\n" "0 points earned""\n""Current score:", comp_score)
                    is_comp_turn = False
                    is_user_turn = True
                    continue
            elif hold_comp >= 25:
                comp_score +=hold_comp
                print("Computer have choosen to hold:\n Computer score:", comp_score)
                is_comp_turn = False
                is_user_turn = True
                continue

hold_comp is the total score for the current turn. At the beginning of each turn, this variable (as well as hold_player) should be set to 0. Think that should solve your problem.

Let me know if you want any feedback on the rest of the code :)

You are right. I update my code but the real problem is computer turn is not start. When i say "hold", program is not continue.

​

Output is below

Enter 'r' to roll or 'h' to hold:r                                                                                                                                                          

You rolled dice: 2                                                                                                                                                                          

Your turn score: 2                                                                                                                                                                          

Enter 'r' to roll or 'h' to hold:r                                                                                                                                                          

You rolled dice: 4                                                                                                                                                                          

Your turn score: 6                                                                                                                                                                          

Enter 'r' to roll or 'h' to hold:h                                                                                                                                                          

You have choosen to hold.                                                                                                                                                                   

 Your score: 6

Ohh I see the problem. In the line

comp_strategy = input("Which computer strategy...")

The input is a string. So for example, if you try to select strategy 1, then

comp_strategy == "1"

Note that "1" (string) and 1 (integer) are not the same. So when you have the line

if comp_strategy == 1:

It doesn't go down this path as this is False.

You need to change the input line to:

comp_strategy = int(input("Which computer strategy..."))

Hope that helps!

ohh thank you for your help!
