Create Your First Python Game Rock, Paper, Scissors
What is Rock Paper Scissors and How to play it?
Its a game played by 2 people with their hands, The idea is to create 3 shapes with the hands
Rock, Paper, Scissors shapes
It has 3 simple rules
- With Rock and scissors -> Rock wins
- With Scissors and paper -> Scissors wins
- With Paper and Rock -> Paper wins
Here in our example, We are going to play Rock Paper Scissors with a computer
Code:
import random
rock = '''
_______
---' ____)
(_____)
(_____)
(____)
---.__(___)
'''
paper = '''
_______
---' ____)____
______)
_______)
_______)
---.__________)
'''
scissors = '''
_______
---' ____)____
______.)
__________)
(____)
---.__(___)
'''
user_choice= int(input("Enter 0 for Rock,1 for paper or 2 for Scissors \n"))
computer_choice=random.randint(0,2)
rpc=[rock, paper, scissors]
if user_choice >=3 or user_choice < 0:
print("Incorrerct Choice")
elif user_choice==computer_choice:
print(rpc[user_choice])
print(rpc[computer_choice])
print("Draw")
elif user_choice==0 and computer_choice==2:
print(rpc[user_choice])
print(rpc[computer_choice])
print ("You Win")
elif user_choice==2 and computer_choice==1:
print(rpc[user_choice])
print(rpc[computer_choice])
print("You Win")
elif user_choice==1 and computer_choice==0:
print(rpc[user_choice])
print(rpc[computer_choice])
print ("You Win!")
else:
print ("You Lose!")
Explanation:
Before starting, Please check here to know more about Randomization. Which is used in this program.
– We need to get input from the user either 0,1,2 (Rock, Paper, Scissors)
– Then need to implement the random module to create random 0,1,2 (from the computer side)
– Once it is done, We need to implement the rules for the game
With Rock and scissors -> Rock wins
With Scissors and paper -> Scissors wins
With Paper and rock -> Paper wins
– This can be achieved by condition flow “if else”
Above program is my way of creating a Rock Paper Scissors game. You can redesign the game in your own logic.
