Question

write a python script for rock scissors paper game

Answer 1

The following is the python script for the rock, scissors, and paper game. Making use of nested if-else block will do for this game. Proper explanation is given in comments.

#import randint from random module
from random import randint

#This is the list of shapes during play
shapes=["rock","paper","scissors"]

#Here we assign a random from the shapes to computer
computer=shapes[randint(0,2)]

#Initially set player to False
flag=True

#make a count of all rounds, which include tie,player_wins,computer_wins
count=0
tie=0
player_wins=0
computer_wins=0

while flag: #This loop continues till player enters -1
    player=input("Rock, Paper, Scissors? ").lower()
    count+=1 #take count increment by 1
    if player==computer: #if player and computer are equal, then its a tie
        print("It's a Tie!!!")
        tie+=1 #increment tie by 1
    elif player=="rock":
        if computer=="paper":
            print("You lose!! -> "+computer+" wins")
            computer_wins+=1 #increment computer_wins by 1
        else:
            print("You win!! -> "+player+" wins")
            player_wins+=1 #increment player_wins by 1
    #same rules respectively for other shapes
    elif player=="paper":
        if computer=="scissors":
            print("You lose!! -> "+computer+" wins")
            computer_wins+=1
        else:
            print("You win!! -> "+player+" wins")
            player_wins+=1
    elif player=="scissors":
        if computer=="rock":
            print("You lose!! -> "+computer+" wins")
            computer_wins+=1
        else:
            print("You win!! -> "+player+" wins")
            player_wins+=1
    elif player=="-1": #if player enters -1, then stop the game
        count-=1     #donot count this attempt
        flag=False   #set flag to False
    else: #else, this is an invalid option
        count-=1  #donot count this attempt
        print("Invalid shape!! Please try again")
    computer=shapes[randint(0,2)] #assign computer some random shape
   
#print the game result 
print("Game Over!!!")
print("Number of games played "+str(count))
print("Number of player wins "+str(player_wins))
print("Number of computer wins "+str(computer_wins))
print("Number of Tie "+str(tie))
