Trying to implement Best of 3 logic in rock paper scissors game

[ShAhCh]

Hi

I've written a rock paper scissors game now want to code in 'Best of 3' logic. Right now, it plays 3 times and then exits.

Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32

mychoice = [] for i in range(3):   mychoice = input("Please enter your choice of rock, paper or scissors?\n").lower()   while mychoice not in ["rock","paper","scissors"]:     print("Please spell correctly.\n")     mychoice = input("Please enter your choice of rock, paper or scissors?\n").lower()   list = ["rock","paper","scissors"]   import random   compchoice = random.choice(list)   print("Computer chose" + " - " + compchoice)   if mychoice == compchoice:     print("We chose the same things. Let's play again.\n")     break    if mychoice == 'rock' and compchoice == 'scissors':     Result1 = "You win.\n"     print(Result1)   elif mychoice == 'rock' and compchoice == 'paper':     Result2 = "I win.\n"     print(Result2)   if mychoice == 'paper' and compchoice == 'scissors':     Result2 = "I win.\n"     print(Result2)   elif mychoice == 'paper' and compchoice == 'rock':     Result1 = "You win.\n"     print(Result1)   if mychoice == "Scissors" and compchoice == 'paper':     Result1 = "You win.\n"     print(Result1)   elif mychoice == "Scissors" and compchoice == 'rock':     Result2 = "I win.\n"     print(Result2)     break

i haven't been able to run your code
but i think the following runs a lot neater alrady

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28

import random   mychoice = [] for i in range(3):     mychoice = input("Please enter your choice of rock, paper or scissors?\n").lower() while mychoice not in ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]:     print("Please spell correctly.\n") mychoice = input("Please enter your choice of rock, paper or scissors?\n").lower() list = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]     compchoice = random.choice(list) print("Computer chose" + " - " + compchoice) if mychoice == compchoice:     result = "We chose the same things. Let's play again." elif mychoice == 'rock' and compchoice == 'scissors':     Result = "You win." elif mychoice == 'rock' and compchoice == 'paper':     Result = "I win." if mychoice == 'paper' and compchoice == 'scissors':     Result = "I win." elif mychoice == 'paper' and compchoice == 'rock':     Result = "You win." if mychoice == "Scissors" and compchoice == 'paper':     Result = "You win." elif mychoice == "Scissors" and compchoice == 'rock':     Result = "I win." print(Result + r"\n")

ps:
please put your code between the correct tags next time

Keep track of how many wins each player has. Instead of playing exactly 3 games, play until one of the players has 2 wins.

Thanks guys.
I couldn't run your code either keuninkske. Copied/Pasted it but it didn't work.

@bowlofred: Could you please help me understand how I'd implement the logic? Thanks.

@bowlofred I stored the results in variables.

Something like:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

p1_wins = 0 p2_wins = 0 games_played = 0 while max([p1_wins, p2_wins]) < 2:     # play game here     # if p1 wins:         p1_wins += 1     # if p2 wins:         p2_wins += 1     games_played += 1   # now print your end-of-game stuff.  You can show who won and how many games were played.

Thanks. I'll try.
