Hello everyone. I am new to python and I was trying out a few projects.
This is a rock paper scissors game but I keep getting an error and I'm not exactly sure what is wrong

#

perhaps start by telling us the error

#

then, when you feel the urge to post code,post all of it, as text not a screenshot

serene rover Jun 23, 2024, 5:57 PM

#

I just read the rules. Sorry, I will do so now

#

THE CODE:

import random

options = ['Rock', 'Paper', 'Scissors']
move = options[random.randint(0, 2)]
print(move)

def winner(py_move, human_move):
if py_move == human_move:
print("IT'S A TIE")
elif py_move == 'Rock' and human_move == 'Paper':
print("YOU WIN")
elif py_move == 'Paper' and human_move == 'Rock':
print("I WIN")
elif py_move == 'Scissors' and human_move == 'Rock':
print("YOU WIN")
elif py_move == 'Rock' and human_move == 'Scissors':
print("I WIN")
elif py_move == 'Paper' and human_move == 'Scissors':
print("YOU WIN")
elif py_move == 'Scissors' and human_move == 'Paper':
print("I WIN")

#

it's less a rule and more a way of increasing the odds of a stranger helping you for free 🙂

#

so I notice you've defined a function called "winner", but you never call it.

#

Are you sure that's your complete code?

serene rover Jun 23, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

for the error msg i cant seem to find it. but it had to do with unexpected indentation

keen obsidian Jun 23, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

well ... that means your indentation is wrong.

#

But since you haven't posted the code that caused the error (you've posted something else instead), I can't imagine how I could help.

serene rover Jun 23, 2024, 6:00 PM

#

this was the same code that caused the error

#

im not sure if i accidently changed it

foggy cedar Jun 23, 2024, 6:01 PM

#

smolrat just a heads up, you can past code with these on either side to make it in a block

keen obsidian Jun 23, 2024, 6:02 PM

#

well I ran your code and didn't get the error.

foggy cedar Jun 23, 2024, 6:02 PM

#

it's called a backtick. Here's your code ```import random

options = ['Rock', 'Paper', 'Scissors']
move = options[random.randint(0, 2)]
print(move)

def winner(py_move, human_move):
if py_move == human_move:
print("IT'S A TIE")
elif py_move == 'Rock' and human_move == 'Paper':
print("YOU WIN")
elif py_move == 'Paper' and human_move == 'Rock':
print("I WIN")
elif py_move == 'Scissors' and human_move == 'Rock':
print("YOU WIN")
elif py_move == 'Rock' and human_move == 'Scissors':
print("I WIN")
elif py_move == 'Paper' and human_move == 'Scissors':
print("YOU WIN")
elif py_move == 'Scissors' and human_move == 'Paper':
print("I WIN")```

Hey @foggy cedar!

It looks like you pasted Python code without syntax highlighting.

Please use syntax highlighting to improve the legibility of your code and make it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

keen obsidian Jun 23, 2024, 6:02 PM

so you accidentally fixed it when you pasted it to discord 🙂

foggy cedar Jun 23, 2024, 6:03 PM

This is an interesting implementation. Is it the whole program? How new are you to python? I'm new too and I made my own but with user inputs etc.

winner(move, human_move)

#

I'm not sur ewhat to do about winner

keen obsidian Jun 23, 2024, 6:04 PM

#

generate two moves, not one

#

then call "winner", passing both of them

serene rover Jun 23, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

what do you mean

foggy cedar Jun 23, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

you haven't created a human move

keen obsidian Jun 23, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

options = ["Rock", "Paper", "Scissors"]
py_move = options[random.randint(0, 2)]
print(py_move)
human_move = options[random.randint(0, 2)]
print(human_move)

winner(py_move, human_move)

foggy cedar Jun 23, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

you're passing a variable, but there's no input for human.

#

*I mean argument not variable

#

offby fixed it for you

serene rover Jun 23, 2024, 6:06 PM

#

ohh makes sense

#

thanks

#

but it still gives me an error

#

let me send

foggy cedar Jun 23, 2024, 6:07 PM

#

you might need to change names of the argument

#

he put "py_move" you put "move" as the first variable

serene rover Jun 23, 2024, 6:08 PM

#

i think that was a mistake on my behalf

foggy cedar Jun 23, 2024, 6:08 PM

#

serene rover Jun 23, 2024, 6:08 PM

#

I just changed to py move

foggy cedar Jun 23, 2024, 6:08 PM

#

it works now, right?

serene rover Jun 23, 2024, 6:08 PM

#

its saying "winner" is not defined

foggy cedar Jun 23, 2024, 6:09 PM

also its better to check for one person win and use else statement for other instead of checking .

instead of elif I should use else?

foggy cedar Jun 23, 2024, 6:16 PM

#

no not you didn't define it, you called it before it was defined - which is a no no.

#

you can't call a function that doesn't exist yet and the interpereter/computer reads the code, from top to bottom.

#

so if you call a function - it needs to be defined prior to being called.

bright garden Jun 23, 2024, 6:17 PM

#

serene rover instead of elif I should use else?

check if you are winning from the above 3 conditions and on last just put a else statement you dont need to check it again

you can use input()

only 3 conditions are there 1. tie 2. py win 3. human win
you checked condition 1 on the first if statement

dude it's still printing "human move" as if it were randomly picked.

so remove this: human_move = options[random.randint(0, 2)]

#

personally, I'd do this

#

human_move = options[human_choice-1]
