Help needed. Python Newbie!, it will be fun.

Hi.

So I just started learning python as my first ever programming language. (YAYYY)

It's been 4 intense days (between kids and work) but I have created my first program. It's a rocks, papers, scissors game. Pretty simple.

The program runs fine until the part when the game ends when player_wins == 3 and/or computer_wins == 3.

Up to that point, what I want the program to do is to accept an input of "y/n" so I can continue playing if I want to without having to exit the game and start all over.

I am using a code editor with all the bells and whistles I could install to it called "Atom". Haven't been able to figure out how to run the code from within the editor tho. Every time I have to do it on terminal. (yes, im on a Mac)

If you guys want to mess around with the code and add a few functions (def) or anything else, feel free as I have not yet learned a lot about them and can't get them to work with my code. It breaks everything. I guess it's a matter of organization that I am doing completely wrong.

Sorry if the code is a mess, I am just learning as I go through and I find that practice is the best way to learn about coding. I get sleepy easily while reading long tutorials. Must be the age...

Also, if you guys know how to make this project an executable file that I can either run on Mac or PC, please let me know. =)

Anyways, thanks for your help and diligence. This is also my first post on your forum!
