Homework 5

Due: Thursday, March 13 at 11:59 pm

Submission: On Courseworks

Instructions

Please read the instructions carefully. An incorrectly formatted submission may not be counted.

There is one question in this assignment. This assignment starts from skeleton code called rps_sim.py. Please include comments in your code detailing your thought process where appropriate. Put rps_sim.py in a folder called uni-hw5 (so for me this would be tkp2108-hw5). Then compress this folder into a .zip file. For most operating systems, you should be able to right click and have a “compress” option in the context menu. This should create a file called tkp2108-hw5.zip (with your uni). Submit this on courseworks.

Rock, Paper, Scissors - Fair Game?

Let’s adapt our in-class odds/evens code into an analysis of the game Rock/Paper/Scissors.

You’re given some skeleton code. Expand and adapt the in-class odds/evens code for rock/paper/scissors. Your output should be similar to mine.

Playing Rocks/Paper/Scissors!
Would you like to play a single game (a) or run a simulation (b): a
Pick a choice: ('🪨', '📄', '✂️') (0, 1, 2): 0
User choice:🪨	Computer Choice:✂️
You win!
Would you like to play again? (y/n) y
Would you like to play a single game (a) or run a simulation (b): b
How many simulations? 10000
Played 10000 games.
Player 1 won 3315 times
Player 2 won 3411 times
Players tied 3274 times
Win percentage: 33.15%
Lose percentage: 34.11%
Tie percentage: 32.74%
Would you like to play again? (y/n) n

Your code should:

• Support running Human vs. Computer and Simulation modes
• Print out the win, lose, and tie quantities and percentages

Skeleton Code

rps_sim.py

from random import choice

ROCK = "🪨"
PAPER = "📄"
SCISSORS = "✂️"
CHOICES = (ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS)


def runSimulation():
    # TODO
    pass

def gameWinner(player_one_choice, player_two_choice):
    # TODO
    # This is a helper function if you want to use it
    pass

def runSingleGame():
    # TODO
    pass

def main():
    print("Playing Rock/Paper/Scissors!")
    play_again = "y"

    while play_again == "y":
        user_choice = input("Would you like to play a single game (a) or run a simulation (b): ")

        if user_choice == "a":
            runSingleGame()
        else:
            runSimulation()
            
        play_again = input("Would you like to play again? (y/n) ")
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
