    My crack at python

    in Applications & Coding

    Posted

    I recently started teaching myself python (after searching the threads for recommendations). Right now I am working on a Rock, Paper, Scissors program to mess around with if...then, definitions, and booleans, which is why the program might seem odd, I have the WIN/LOSE based off of Bool's, but I wanted to practice using them.

    Right now I'm trying to figure out a way to integrate a check to see if the player is actually putting in rock, paper, or scissors, but I haven't gotten anything to work yet. I have it checking for membership in the list picks, but I'm not sure how to make that 'reset' or try again.

    Any ideas?

    #!/usr/bin/env python
# filename : rps.py

# Author: T8y8
# A Rock, Paper, Scissors game

#Imports
import random
import sys
#Define Variables
menu = '''
=================================
Welcome to Rock, Paper, Scissors!
Press enter to continue
Quit at anytime by typing 'quit'
=================================
'''
picks = ['rock', 'paper', 'scissors']

#Computer Chooses
def computerPick():
    global compChoice
    compChoice = random.choice(picks)
#Player Chooses
def playerPick():
    global playerChoice
    playerChoice = raw_input("Rock, Paper, or Scissors?")
    if playerChoice.lower() == 'quit':
        sys.exit()
    if playerChoice.lower() not in picks:
        print ' That is not an option'
def choiceCompare(x, y): # X is Comp, Y is Person
    global win
    win = False
    if not win:
        if x == 'rock':
            if y.lower() == 'paper':
                win = True
        elif x == 'paper':
            if y.lower() == 'scissors':
                win = True
        elif x == 'scissors':
            if y.lower() == 'rock':
                win = True
#Show menu
c = raw_input(menu)
# Game Loop
while c != 'quit':
        computerPick()
        playerPick()
        choiceCompare(compChoice, playerChoice)
        if win is True:
            print "You beat %s with %s" % (compChoice, playerChoice)
        elif playerChoice == compChoice:
            print "YOU TIED WITH %s" % compChoice
        else:
            print "You lost to %s with %s" % (compChoice, playerChoice)

    Could you throw some laptop specs at us?

    I run Ubuntu on my laptop almost exclusivly, running the 2.6.15-386 kernel, AIGLX + Compiz, IPW2915 wifi. Everything worked with little effort.

    I've heard Gentoo is great to really learn how linux works, but I don't think I'd recommend it as a first distro.

    Ubuntu.

    Where did your handle come from?

    I've used T8y8 since my first net connection at AOL 3 or 4.0.

    Name - Tyler

    Birthyear - 1988

    After getting impatient trying to come up with some screen name that has my name in it, even at 3.0, a million Tyler's already took everything, I threw T8y8 together, and alas, T8y8 was born.

    Every English Google result for T8y8, is me. :)

    It's pronounced Tee-Eight-Why-Eight. Not Tate-Yate :(

    Everyone has already covered it, but yes, you can install both.

    I have Windows XP (NTFS) and Ubuntu 6.06 (JFS) installed on this laptop, each has an 18ish gig partition, and Ubuntu has a 1 gig swap partition.

    I have my own proxy, sadly it's spread across the school, so I'm thinking of changing it.

    If they block the new proxy, they'll be blocking a teachers website that I run.

    I win!

    On another note, my school recently blocked YouTube

    They also blocked Google's Translation feature, so you can't use that loophole
