Make a simple game in python!

#python #beginners #codenewbie

Hi devs!
Today I will share some tips to make a simple stone paper scissor game in python. The game will be a Human vs Computer game.

✔️ Import the random module by the following:

import random
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

"Why?"
So that computer will generate its own choice.

💡 Place a infinite while loop (You don't have to run program again and again.)

while True:
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

✔️ State the rules of the game.

# Rules of the game  print("""Enter your choice : a. Press '1' to select 'Stone'. b. Press '2' to select 'Paper'. c. Press '3' to select 'Scissor'.\n""")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

✔️ Take the input from the user according to the rules mention above.

user_choice = int(input("Enter YOUR choice: "))
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

✔️ Code the condition when user gives input out of the range.

while user_choice > 3 or user_choice < 1: user_choice = int(input("Enter valid input: "))
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

✔️ Assign numbers to the user's choice.

 if user_choice == 1: choice_name = 'Stone' elif user_choice == 2: choice_name = 'Paper' else: choice_name = 'Scissor'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

✔️ Let the computer select its choice and then assign numbers to the computer's choice.

 computer_choice = random.randint(1, 3) # Assigning numbers to the computer's choices  if computer_choice == 1: computer_choicehoice_name = 'Stone' elif computer_choice == 2: computer_choicehoice_name = 'Paper' else: computer_choicehoice_name = 'Scissor'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

✔️ Write the main logic of the game.

 if((user_choice == 1 and computer_choice == 2) or (user_choice == 2 and computer_choice ==1 )): print("Paper wins !!! \n", end = "") result = "Paper" elif((user_choice == 1 and computer_choice == 3) or (user_choice == 3 and computer_choice == 1)): print("Stone wins !!! \n", end = "") result = "Stone" else: print("Scissor wins !!!\n", end = "") result = "Scissor"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

✔️ Declare the result.

 if result == choice_name: print("\nYOU WIN !!!\n") else: print("\nCOMPUTER WINS !!!\n")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

✔️ Ask a replay question and also code the condition to break the infinite while loop.

 print("Do you want to play again? (y/n)") ans = input() if ans == 'n' or ans == 'N': break
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

🎉 That's it! Isn't it easy? Now you have your own game to play!
