Rock paper scissors game

[samiraheen]

I want to write a function that determines the result of a rock, paper, scissors game given choices of player 1 and player 2. My function is rps_winner() and I want it to prompt the user for choice of player 1 and then choice of player 2, and then display the result for player 1. The user will only enter words: rock, paper or scissors in lower case. If both players make the same choice, we have a draw. I have started out my code like this, but I am unsure how to make it run like this for example.

>>rps_winner()
What choice did player 1 make?
Type one of the following options: rock, paper, scissors: rock
What choice did player 2 make?
Type one of the following options: rock, paper, scissors: paper
Player 1 wins. That is False
It is a tie. That is not True

My code at the bottom

>>def rps_winner():
print("What choice did player 1 make?")
p1 = input("Type one of the following options: rock, paper, scissors:")
print("What choice did player 2 make?")
p2 = input("Type one of the following options: rock, paper, scissors:")
p1_wins = (p1 == 'paper' and p2 == 'rock') or (p1 == 'scissors' and p2 == 'paper') or (p1 == 'rock' and p2 == 'scissors')
p2_wins = (p2 == 'paper' and p1 == 'rock') or (p2 == 'scissors' and p1 == 'paper') or (p2 == 'rock' and p1 == 'scissors')
It is a tie = (p1 == p2)
return print('Player 1 wins. That is ' + str(p1_wins

Any help would be appreciated

p2 = input("Type one of the following options: rock, paper, scissors:")
p1_wins = (p1 == 'paper' and p2 == 'rock') or (p1 == 'scissors' and p2 == 'paper') or (p1 == 'rock' and p2 == 'scissors')
p2_wins = (p2 == 'paper' and p1 == 'rock') or (p2 == 'scissors' and p1 == 'paper') or (p2 == 'rock' and p1 == 'scissors')
It is a tie = (p1 == p2)
return print('Player 1 wins. That is ' + str(p1_wins

Does it work?  Do you get any errors? 
Or is the output you currently get different from what you expected?  And, if that's the case, what did you get, and what did you expect?

Okay, you are in the right ballpark at least. (I am referring to 2.7)

Some hints.

use raw_input instead of input
so something like this.


print "What choice did player 1 make?"
print "Type one of the following options: rock, paper scissors:"
p1 = raw_input()

make you return value a string, and set it to draw. then use if statements to change it if player one or player 2 won. if both if statements are not valid, your default (draw) wins.

Return that string.

call the function and print the result. I was able to get it working in about 2 minutes, would post the code but I am not sure if the teacher wants you to figure it out or not.

OP is clearly using python 3. Don't advise him to go back to python2. If not for other reason - this will add extra confusion
