Need help with Python program

I don't know Python so I may be wrong, but going by your earlier syntax (and also common usage across languages), the bolded statements looks like it compares the value of game_finished rather than assign a "True" value to it, so game_finished is always "False" and your program never leaves the loop.

Try replacing with: game_finished = True

 

You're looping on 'While True', which will always be True, so the loop will never end. You gotta change that condition to make it False when the player wins or loses, and then the loop will end.

 

Where is the part??
while not True:
.....
....
.....
...
End

I remember when I doing snake game(python 2.7).the structure should included

While true (when event is still moving)
While not true (happen in event detected,close)

 

Also, according to this page and what poof said, you might need to edit your while loop condition to (game_finished == False) first, and then properly assign game_finished to True when the game is over.

 

I believe the logic flow is working correctly because Csochapili breaks out correctly when the conditions are met.

you just need to parse points to type int

that is,

points = int(raw_input(str("How many points would you like to play to?")))

Spoiler: debugging

if you notice, when you play the game, the output looks like this:

Rock, Paper or Scissors?rock
scissors
Opponent picked paper, you lose!
('You: ', 1, ' - ', 1, ' C')
(1, 1, '3')

notice the '3' is in quotes, which indicates it is a str type and is not being treated as a number, therefore your (playerscore == points) and (computerscore == points) will never trigger

 

And I found out one more things
You forget to stated

point=0 (in the beginning,before raw input???)

the point will be having a counter
point=point-1(when user play the game continues)

If point>=0 : *this need to stated when event exit,else it will repeat
print (who win)
exit()

I assume point as counter

Just asking...did you arrange your code in the orders of spacing correctly.Cause python are quite messy(I spend one month to fix my buggy code for this term assignment....)

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but points = 0 is not needed since a user-input value is assigned to the variable at the start.

... unless Python has some sort of compile/runtime error for uninitialised variables, but since the program can run that shouldn't be a problem.

 

Well ,it's not really compulsory.Let me check awhile....I might wrong about this.

Edit: Bulba is correct

 

Should be

game_finished == true

while(game_finished) <== evaluates to true

//stuff

and then game_finished == false inside loop to end the game

It seems weird to say game_finished == true at the beginning so maybe rename your variable to something like still_playing or something like that

 

I ran the code with my fix and it worked

 

Didn't realize you have break statements in your loop until now, disregard my comment lol

 

You don't have to do it that way, but I guess it's a way to do it. I never learned to do it like that either.
And can confirm that Redwine's fix works~

 

I also prefer using actual conditions for while loops, so it's easier for you (and anyone else who uses your code) to see what your while loop is running for, rather than having to search through your code for the break statements.

 

my apologies, I forgot that I changed "input" to "raw_input"

because of my python version, I had to use raw_input. change it back to "input"

 

I haven't used python since college, but if I had to guess what's probably happening is that the input command converts the user input to a character string. When you program, a 3 is different from a '3'. The first is a number and can be compared with ==, >=, <= with other numerics in the way you expect it to. The second is a character string and cannot be compared (well, it can, but it will compare as a string).

So when your program stored the user input, because it was stored as a character, all future comparisons with it failed. By making it an int, you allowed it to be compared to other numbers.
