How to create rock paper scissors two players game in Python

In this Python tutorial, we will learn how to create rock paper scissors two player scissor game in Python. So, at first we will define the moves about the rock, paper and scissors and then take a random module to take input as a second player and for the first player, we will define the conditions.

Create rock paper scissors game in Python

Our goal is to define the condition to make a player win or loose in the game. So we will use the condition statement in Python but before that, we need to define the moves firstly.

Defining moves in rock paper scissors – Python

In the moves, we will define the rock, paper and scissors

moves = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]
keep_playing = "true"

Importing random module to take random input

The random module will help us to take the random input for the second player.

import random
#defining cpu move as random
cmove = random.choice(moves)

Defining conditions in Rock paper scissors game

So, now we will define the condition for both the players

while keep_playing == "true":
    cmove = random.choice(moves)
    pmove = input("What is your move: rock, paper or scissors?")
    print ("The computer chose",cmove)
    if cmove == pmove:
        print ("Tie")
    elif pmove == "rock" and cmove == "scissors":
        print ("congratulations to the winner Player wins")
    elif pmove == "rock" and cmove == "paper":
        print ("congratulations to the winner Computer wins")
    elif pmove == "paper" and cmove == "rock":
        print ("congratulations to the winner Player wins")
    elif pmove == "paper" and cmove == "scissors":
        print ("congratulations to the winner Computer wins")
    elif pmove == "scissors" and cmove == "paper":
        print ("congratulations to the winner Player wins")
    elif pmove == "scissors" and cmove == "rock":
        print ("congratulations to the winner Computer wins")

Output:

What is your move: rock, paper or scissors?rock
The computer chose scissors
congratulations to the winner Player wins
