I love this rps idea, I even added a point system to keep track of win, losses, and draws, hope you find lots of success

Any idea was the alt + Z wrapper does not work for me when I try to use it? Been an issue since I have been following along, I just make do without it.

Hi Dave, thanks a lot for this great episode. In time "4:09", i didn't understand why it return None; note: the final execution happen when the num equals 9, then the if statement is true and it will execute "return num+1", then this will exit the def func (this is correct?) and return "10" to my newtotal, then it should be printed. But this didn't happen and the code return None, why is that? Did the "return num +1" inside the if cause it to fully exist the def function?

[@zoltanmolnar6956]

absolutely Great job Dave, but please write more pythonic way: besides if (count==5) only if count ==5: do not need parentheses,also everywhere in playlist

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Thank you. We all have our own preferences, but yes, both work.
