Question

Modified from Chapter 07 Programming Exercise 5

Original Exercise:

Rock, Paper, Scissors Modification
Programming Exercise 11 in Chapter 6 asked you to design a program that plays the Rock, Paper, Scissors game. In the program, the user enters one of the three strings—"rock", "paper", or "scissors"—at the keyboard. Add input validation (with a case-insensitive comparison) to make sure the user enters one of those strings only.

Modifications:

• Allow the user to input "r", "p", "s" or the full strings "Rock", "Paper", "Scissors"
  • Allow the user to input upper or lowercase
  • try the following:
    • input = input.lower()
• Refer to the following code to help generate a random computer player action
  • import random
    pc_choice_list = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]
    pc_choice = random.choice(pc_choice_list)
• Allow the player to input a "q" for their turn if they want to quit the game
• Use loops not only to validate the input but also to keep the game running as long as the player does not input a "q" on their turn
• Example outputs
  • Rock beats Scissors
  • Paper beats Rock
  • Scissors beats Paper
  • Tie
  • Game Over
  • Let's Play Rock, Paper, Scissors
    Input your choice: r,p, or s

Answer 1

import random #import random for pc_choice

pc_choice_list = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"] #choices with computer

check = False #variable to check whether q has been pressed or not

while check == False:
    # loop will run until q is pressed
    pc_choice = random.choice(pc_choice_list) # randomly pc selecting its choice from the availabe options
    
    print("Let's Play Rock, Paper, Scissors")
    
    player = input("Input your choice: r,p, or s:")  #taking input
    
    player=player.lower() #making the input string lowercase 
    
    if player=="r":
        player="rock"
        # if r is entered by player then making it rock to compare it easily with pc_choice
    if player=="p":
        player="paper"
        # if p is entered by player then making it paper to compare it easily with pc_choice
    if player=="s":
        player="scissors"
        # if s is entered by player then making it scissors to compare it easily with pc_choice
    if player == pc_choice:
        print("Tie!")
        
    elif player == "rock":
        if pc_choice == "Paper":
            print("Lose!! paper beats rock")
        else:
            print("You win!! rock beats scissors")
            
    elif player == "paper":
        if pc_choice == "scissors":
            print("Lose!! Scissors beats Paper")
        else:
            print("You win!! Paper beats Rock")
            
    elif player == "scissors":
        if pc_choice == "rock":
            print("Lose!! Rock beats Scissors")
        else:
            print("You win!! Scissors beats Paper")
            
    elif player=="q":
        print("Game Over")
        check=True
        #if player enters q then check is true and condition in while loop becomes false so loop breaks
    else:
        print("That's not a valid play. Check your spelling!")
        #if not a valid string.
