- Rock Paper Scissors
This rock paper scissors program uses a number of functions so this is a good way of getting that critical concept under your belt.
Random function: to generate rock, paper, or scissors. Valid function: to check the validity of the move. Result function: to declare the winner of the round. Scorekeeper: to keep track of the score. The program requires the user to make the first move before it makes a move. The input could be a string or an alphabet representing either rock, paper, or scissors. After evaluating the input string, a winner is decided by the result function and the score of the round is updated by the scorekeeper function.
import random
import os
import re
os.system('cls' if os.name=='nt' else 'clear')
while (1 < 2):
print ("\n")
print ("Rock, Paper, Scissors - Shoot!")
userChoice = input("Choose your weapon [R]ock], [P]aper, or [S]cissors: ")
if not re.match("[SsRrPp]", userChoice):
print ("Please choose a letter:")
print ("[R]ock, [S]cissors or [P]aper.")
continue
print ("You chose: " + userChoice)
choices = ['R', 'P', 'S']
opponenetChoice = random.choice(choices)
print ("I chose: " + opponenetChoice)
if opponenetChoice == str.upper(userChoice):
print ("Tie! ")
elif opponenetChoice == 'R' and userChoice.upper() == 'S':
print ("Scissors beats rock, I win! ")
continue
elif opponenetChoice == 'S' and userChoice.upper() == 'P':
print ("Scissors beats paper! I win! ")
continue
elif opponenetChoice == 'P' and userChoice.upper() == 'R':
print ("Paper beat rock, I win!")
continue
else:
print ("You Win!")
- Dice Roll Generator
This dice roll generator is a fairly simple program that makes use of the random function to simulate dice rolls. You can change the maximum value to any number, making it possible to simulate polyhedral dice used in many board games and roleplaying games.
import random
#Enter the minimum and maximum limits of the dice rolls below
min_val = 1
max_val = 6
#the variable that stores the user’s decision
roll_again = "yes"
#The dice roll loop if the user wants to continue
while roll_again == "yes" or roll_again == "y":
print("Dices rolling...")
print("The values are :")
#Printing the randomly generated variable of the first dice
print(random.randint(min_val, max_val))
#Printing the randomly generated variable of the second dice
print(random.randint(min_val, max_val))
#Here the user enters yes or y to continue and any other input ends the program
roll_again = input("Roll the Dices Again?")
- Calculator
This project teaches you to design a graphical interface and is a good way to get familiar with a library like Tkinter. This library lets you create buttons to perform different operations and display results on the screen.
