Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

I'm playing a game of rock, paper, scissors against the code using the random module. When I input my choice, the code repeats endlessly, no matter what it is.

choice=getUserChoice()
I think this only gets run once before the loop right?

#

So you never get the chance to change this value, so you never exit the loop if you ever enter it

You need to request the choice within the loop

#

The easiest way to do this is going to be:

while True:
    choice=getUserChoice()
    if choice == -1:
        break
    # rest of code here
#

(There are ways to do it better using the walrus operator but you can learn that later :) )
