when i run this script it just says rock paper scissors and auto selects that

[green forum]

when u import a file u "run" it

[drowsy sphinx]

oh

is there a way i can make it so it only runs when they pick that game

[green forum]

not really

the work around is shoving watever starts the game into a function like def start()

then call that imported function in ur main file

[drowsy sphinx]

so like this

    import Rock_Paper_scissors```

[green forum]

whats inside that file u importing

[drowsy sphinx]

my rock paper scissors game

just the code to run that game

import random
answer = ""
player_wins = 0
computer_wins = 0
draws = 0
while answer != "quit" and answer != "no":

    Game_List = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]
    computer_choice = random.choice(Game_List)
    action = input("Rock Paper Scissors. \n").lower()
    print("You chose " + action + "\nI choose " + computer_choice)

   

    if action == computer_choice:
        print("Its a Draw!")
        print(f'we both chose {action}')
        draws += 1
    elif action == "rock":
        if computer_choice == "paper":
            print("Computer Wins!")
            computer_wins += 1
        elif computer_choice == "scissors":
            print("You Win!")
            player_wins += 1



    elif action == "paper":
        if computer_choice == "scissors":
             print("Computer Wins!")
             computer_wins += 1
        elif computer_choice == "rock":
            print("You Win!")
            player_wins += 1


    elif action == "scissors":
        if computer_choice == "rock":
            print("Computer Wins!")
            computer_wins += 1
        elif computer_choice == "paper":
            print("You Win!")
            player_wins += 1
    

    else:
         print("Error, Invalid Input: scores not altered")
    print("Player score = " + str(player_wins) + ", Computer score = " + str(computer_wins) + ", draws = " + str(draws))
    answer = input("would you like to play another game (Yes/No/Quit)? \n").lower()

this is what u need to shove into a function

[drowsy sphinx]

so just write that code inside a function

[stoic pasture]

better still, create a class, initialise the variables as self variables in the init constructor, then have at the bottom of your python script ```py
if name == 'main':
c = NameOfClass()
output = c.call_whatever_function_you_want(insert vars here)
print(f"{output}")

@drowsy sphinx

[drowsy sphinx]

i ended up just writing all the code into a function

[stoic pasture]

Fair. This is what I was kind of referring to:

import random

class RockPaperScissors:
    def __init__(self):
        self.answer = ""
        self.player_wins = 0
        self.computer_wins = 0
        self.draws = 0
        self.Game_List = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]
    
    def play_game(self):
        while self.answer != "quit" and self.answer != "no":
            computer_choice = random.choice(self.Game_List)
            action = input("Rock Paper Scissors. \n").lower()
            print("You chose " + action + "\nI choose " + computer_choice)
            
            if action == computer_choice:
                print("Its a Draw!")
                print(f'we both chose {action}')
                self.draws += 1
            elif action == "rock":
                if computer_choice == "paper":
                    print("Computer Wins!")
                    self.computer_wins += 1
                elif computer_choice == "scissors":
                    print("You Win!")
                    self.player_wins += 1
            elif action == "paper":
                if computer_choice == "scissors":
                    print("Computer Wins!")
                    self.computer_wins += 1
                elif computer_choice == "rock":
                    print("You Win!")
                    self.player_wins += 1
            elif action == "scissors":
                if computer_choice == "rock":
                    print("Computer Wins!")
                    self.computer_wins += 1
                elif computer_choice == "paper":
                    print("You Win!")
                    self.player_wins += 1
            else:
                print("Error, Invalid Input: scores not altered")
            
            print("Player score = " + str(self.player_wins) + ", Computer score = " + str(self.computer_wins) + ", draws = " + str(self.draws))
            self.answer = input("would you like to play another game (Yes/No/Quit)? \n").lower()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    game = RockPaperScissors()
    game.play_game()```
