😊 this video has helped me understand things which were a pain in the neck, Thanks Tim
Sir very informative video , sir your voice is being very sharp to listen soften it by some software
@TechWithTim!
Your third project - Rock paper scissors
It forgot the scenario when the Computer tie with Human!!!
As a beginner, this was the first time coding felt more fun than feeling like a grind.
Same here man
same
how is coding going on with you now? are you confident yet?
@@user-bc7kd6iz1r how is coding going on with you now? are you confident yet?
@@awab1605 It's been a slow process, I would still consider myself a beginner. But I'm much more consistent than I use to be.
i thought i knew little in python but now i realized i can do most of these project...proud of myself:)
Good for you mate. I am slightly more experienced with Python now after using it for few years but I still come back to watch Tim's beginner videos. Have learned a lot from this guy and would support him anyway I can.
@@demiphotomode frl ...u have any books on Python modules
Python crash course is a way to go after that automate boring stuff
@@ikennamanagwu9646 thanks Amma check it out
Same here, I'm going to try the password manager myself
I honestly think this guy has being the best teacher of phython I have seen so far. He explains and shows how everything works easily.. Big thumbs up mate
i knoww
This project course is great for beginners, it teaches you Python in a very exciting manner. Wrote my first program with the help of this video. Thank you so much Tim !!!
Now this is what all programming lessons should be!
Not hello world or explaining what class is etc etc. Just SHOW and THEN nest explanations in the lesson.
Great stuff!
indeed, 1 year in guy here and i can say you learn so much more just interacting/debugging your code and truly seeing how the languages variables and functions become constituents of other parts, gluing the script together.. :)
Agree. Some go on an on before you actually do anything.
@@levmikhov disagreed i learnt everything from videos like this
To be sincere this is the only python instructor that has taught me alot In a very short while, I've been battling the switch to tech and for over 7months I couldnt grasp anything coz I'm not a geek in tech, I've been struggling to understand how all this coding ish can be applied to real problems till I stumbled on his lessons and believe u me, this is day two and I have done over 4 quizzes.... He's so straight to the point and I recommend his tutorials for any beginner in tech like me who is struggling to catch it, his tutorials has given me rhythm, just wen I was giving up on the tech journey, he. Gave me hope.... He's an awesome tutor😊
You are a great facilitator. You're one of the only coders that is coherent, clear, and pleasant to follow. Keep it up! I really appreciate you :)
I watched this because coding has felt more like a chore than fun recently, I had fun following along and trying to add my own tweaks. I think it's funny how the same thing happened to both of us when we first tried the number guessing game in the while loop(I mean with the numbers)
Wow finally found something that I can absorb without having a headache.
This content is such a perfect match for just beginners like me!! Thank you so much Tim!
Thank you for this. Though, I learnt python theoretically for my classes, I haven't been using it much and I'm losing the skills. This has helped me.... As a plus, I created the number guessing game to only take an initial guess and derive the random number using bisection method!
Hey man I am going through lots of Python basics on youtube, everyone seems like same old-school way of explanation . But the way you explained is the most beginner friendly with simple projects that adds real value for the time I've invested, such a simple but supper effective way of teaching. Thanks for your awesome content :0
Coding is so fun 🤩 even though I’m at the point where I copy code and try to figure out why, it’s nice to see the code work 😊 I can’t wait to get to the point where I can think of the code myself to test it out. The thought of that is scary because it seems really challenging but I just have to keep reminding myself that practice leads to improvement.
Ps I have an exam tomorrow and instead of studying I went to go try out the rock paper scissors game. I don’t know why this is the first time I’ve coded in years. Procrastination at its finest 😞
coding is amazing, being able to get to a given result through so many ways really puts your creative side at work while connecting to your logic side! hope you did well on your exam
tim have python course free or no ?
Copying code and messing with it until you learn what it does it's the funniest way to learn how to code
Well you've definitely made the right choice starting with Python for sure! Of course it depends on what you want to do, but Lua is another really good universal language to learn too.
I started learning code then stopped for 3 years now i’m back lmao
It was getting boring to continuously study Python theory, thank you so much for these. This will help me get back to the theory with much more interest
This is a great tutorial, very informative!
I've been working with python for a few weeks for my college course but we haven't had much stuff to do outside of the 1-2 hours a week in class. This video has actually been great to help me understand python better and study. You did great with this one :D
Tim, yesterday I spent 6 hours watching some Phyton tutorial videos on the different channels and didn't understand anything. After reviewing your video (hands-on work) I finally can start to write my simple codes.
I just started my coding journey this year,I have seen lots of videos but this one right here got me thinking of coding every now and then because of how well the projects are explained,detailed and run through. Thank you so much,you just handed me a breathing device on my coding journey,I know I’ll be great at it soon.
yes same i have started coding from this year
A intermediate version of this would be super cool! Thanks for the great content Tim!
Thanks for the idea!
@Syed Mohammad Sannan kivy, kivymd is used to make mobile/pc software
You should use your own creative instinct to build upon this basic code and make your own advanced version. I find this is the best form of study.
@Krishnansh Agarwal Pycharm
@@2pingu937 these tutorials are for People o cant think of anything, people with no creativity like me. The whole objective of these vídeos is to give an idea of what People in these levels of knowledge can or cant do, its like going in a lucid dream but cant do anything because you cant think on something
I actually used the password manager as my first project a while ago before even finding this video. There was a lot that i added like features that your project doesnt have but its cool to see the similarities between the two. These are great beginner projects!!
been watching how to code in python for awhile now and I felt that I just could not wrap my head around it. But doing these little projects really just showed me that yes I can do it and I have been learning even if it felt like nothing was getting stuck in my brain! Got me really excited about coding, Thank you!
Just wanted to say that I’ve never coded anything a day in my life… until today. I recently entered a tech job and wanted to start learning methods of coding. After watching your video I was able to create my first set of mini games! Thanks for making such a clear, and easy to follow tutorial!!
About to start
Great tutorial, I really enjoyed it!!! I suggest in the Rock, Paper, Scissors game to add another "elif", in case the game comes to a draw.
draw = 0
if user_input == cpu_pick:
print('Draw!')
draw += 1
continue
thank you, was looking for this
Ye. It’s buggin me that he forgot such thing…
I was thinking to myself what would happen in the event of a draw. There is no logic in the code to include a draw.
@@98drez Ye same
@@98drez but if you don't add the draw event the point will go to the computer
Finally, I found a channel where I can build my skills with easy tutorials. Thank you so much to explain everything in easy way...
It's possible that rock/paper/scissors is a tie.
Great video, I learned a lot!
Thanks for sharing this video! I'm going to go over this video again and do it myself as I listen. I'm in my 50's and I've never really been into computers, much less programming until recently. it takes me longer to understand than it would have 30 years ago but your video is a big help! I'm just getting into this for fun not for a career, but I'm really enjoying it and you make it fun and easy to understand. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. 🤠👋>> 🤓👍
Love this approach! You always need a "real world project" of some sort to work on. else anything will be theoretically and hard to stick with it.
I'm an experienced C/C++ programmer, and decided to start learning python for a personal project related to robotics. That was a really great video to help me speed run through the process of picking up python. Thanks so much tim!
Genuine question. Isn't python much easier?
hey i wanna learn C/C++ too someday, what learning roadmap would you suggest?
@@zen-wl7dk I'd suggest picking up a book teaching C++ from the absolute zero and then working your way up by implementing various algorithms and data structures (assuming you know some) you implemented in other languages. Then you can start a project in C++ from there.
Yeah it’s good to know c++ first! Python will be a lot easier
@@elijahpayne5435 Yea it basically is
For those who are struggling to learn Python, like I did, here is a pro tip:
avoid long complicated tutorials you see online. You need to walk before you can run.
Start with very basic Books. Once you get them right, learning everything else becomes much easier.
Edit: For those asking about the books, the best basic one is Javascript In Less than 50 Pages.
It`s about Javascript but it is the fastest to learn the conceps that will be useful in any programming language.
Second I would recommend A Smarter Way to Learn Python. Your knowledge will transform.
hey i just wanted to say thank you for this. i have probably $300-$400 in books i ofc legally obtained and had been reading through and while some of them will be great once i get the basics down, i was having a hard time getting the basics to really stick in my head but the second book you mentioned really helped a lot. thank you for the recommendation and keeping me motivated
@@anactualalpaca7016 someone missed the sarcasm in my comment lol
@@Shamzel lmao
nice scam
This is just your learning style. You must prefer reading to seeing or watching. But also because ive seen your comment and same one under it on more than video, it seems you might be a spam bot anyway to sell books.
Thanks, Tim. You've brought me further in my Python journey than I expected.
You still going?
@@h_oom4114 ofc he's goin
@@quandaledingle671 I'm not, I've quit way too many times and I did it again
Thank you Tim! I watch all your video and you teach me how to be a good programmer in Python! I learn a lot of new information from you and you help me with all the video! Thank you!
after working with javascript for years, this video was my introduction to python. wow this is so user-friendly and intuitive! thanks for these basic projects buddy!
This might be one of THE MOST informative and straight forward vidoes that i have ever watched regarding python programming! Thank you so much!
Small addition/correction to Rock, Paper, Scissors: Print "Draw!" if both picks are the same
Great Video!
just do
if user_input == computer_pick:
print("Draw!")
Where should we put that "draw" code at?
@@andylopez8942 put it as an elif statement right after the last elif statement. so:
elif user_input == computer_pick:
print("Draw!")
make sure to put it in the while loop
@@astrocity7181 I put it exactly where u said And it seems not to work correctly
@@andylopez8942 do you have a discord so u can send a screenshot
As a beginner, this was the first time coding felt more easy. lot of fun while doing quiz project.
After less than a week learning python your first project was great! I already knew those functions but this was a fantastic way to put it in practice, worked great. I think I'll try all these.
I had one issue when I tried to skip a head and it took me a little bit to figure out why my final score wasn't working. I forgot that you had to convert an integer to a string, but thats great! this is how you really learn.
The second one I messed up pretty hard going off on my own hahaha the start worked great and I thought Ive got this, no problem. I didn't have it.
The information was excellent. Please create more of these "small projects," as they are quite beneficial in terms of confidence building.
I appreciate everything you've done so far.
Thanks a lot @Tim
Maybe Tim is the best Python teacher I have ever seen on the TH-cam. There are a lots of Python teachers on the TH-cam but most of them complexifies codes it becomes difficult and dull to understand. Unlike them Tim writes codes as he speak in plain English which is easy to understand. I like it bro.
One of the BESTEST tutorial I tried so far! You're explaining in a very understanable way, thank you!
the 'choose your own adventure' exercise was so fun I just spent 2 hours writing a story, at the end you play 'rock paper scissors' with the final boss lol
post the code plse. tia
ye pls post the code @Bluemoon_wav where u play rock paper scissors with final boss
Thanks for the great projects, followed along and wrote them at the same time, sometimes pausing for ages to try and do it before you said anything. Made some pointlessly more complicated or more sleek with some practice, thoroughly enjoyed working on them. Spent multiple hours on this, trying to add more things to it, adding in a lot of "print()" to add blank lines to the output to make it easier to read and more digestible as well as commenting all over my code so the me in 'x_time_period' can still figure out what I've written.
Cab also print("
") as many times to add lots of empty lines easily
Loved the content😀 . Please come up with more of these "short projects" they really help building up confidence .
I appreciate your efforts ☺️😌
Thankyou very much ...
yes man they do if u want i can help u build alot of project just dm me
you said trash boyyy
@@royaleleft8896 Where to Dm you??
Im just starting to learn how to code myself and this video was a huge help and a ton of fun! I was a bit disappointed that the password manager didn't complete with the encryption as that would have been really cool. I will be watching lots more of your vids going forward. Lots of things to help me improve.
Thank you so much. I had an assignment where I need to make a choose your adventure type of game and your clarity in explaining helped me understand to correct the errors I encountered in using the if/else statements. I'm a new subscriber!
Thank you so much man!! This is my first week using python and you are helping me so much. I also added a "tie" to rock paper and scissors in case the computer and the user pick the same one^_^
How's the journey so far
I think In Rock Paper Scissors project when user_input and computer_inpute is same then the code declare the computer_wins but actually it's a draw ..........
By the way ,
Your tutorials are so clear and easy to follow , even for a beginner like me .Your passion for coding really shines through in every video , and I always feel inspired to learn more after watching them .Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with the world.❤️
You can use this as an opportunity to actually count the draws. I added this piece of code
if user_input == computer_pick:
print("Its a draw!")
draws += 1
This counts the draws for me. (Variables "user input" and "computer_pick" are my own variable names. substitute your variable names for user input and computer guess to get it to work)
@@yb_bakery i typed elif user_input = rock and computer_input = rock :
print ("Draw") 😂😂,,so as for scissor and paper ,.. after finishing i came to read the comment and saw this ,.. 🤣🤣 I need to work more smarter !
i noticed this too, and the guy above has the answer for the draw question
(computer pick == user pick)
I understood almost everything! So I'll try to use all that I've learnt and build it by myself
Finally, someone who knows how to teach. Keep up the good work!
💯💯Brilliant. Super glad for these tutorials Tim.
A side note, the random.choice(['rock', 'paper', 'scissors'] can also generate a random choice between these three options. The choices() method returns a list with the randomly selected element from the specified sequence
Writing few code as beginner and began to feel despair. After watching this, you had done something to awaken my dead hope. Thanks buddy !!
you too? i see my self like in dark place. cant get anything right!
@@ladefected4475 same bro
Keep going! Don't give up.
@@rodrigonovelo6768 yes!!!!! Keep going in the loop!!!
@@ladefected4475 that's what it is all about bro! Keep pushing yourself to the limit , we got this.
Thank you soooo much for this, this was actually so relaxing and fun to watch, I understood EVERYTHING and I am a complete beginner. You are the best teacher I've seen on youtube
Very helpful, I just begin to learn python myself recently, and these 5 projects really help me to understand the knowledge. Be honestly, last project for me is quite difficult to understand after pip thing. But I enjoy it very much, thank you for your excellent work.
Even if I didn't understand how this game (rock, paper, and scissor) works or how to play this😀, now I can now build this with any language off choice. Just reading the code on your git repo, gave me an idea on how to implement this using JS and PHP or any language.
Keep it up bro👍👍😎
Freaking love this channel ! So informative, and easy to understand
Thank you Tim! By the time we got to the number guessing game, I was able to pause after you explained the randrange() method, and write the program completely on my own. Python has a lot of similarities to C as well as JavaScript, but the syntax seems more beginner friendly. I know more than I thought!! Thank you for being there with a bit of guidance!
I had done the first three projects before. Never got the point. Now it's all crystal clear. Thanks! Looking forward to the last two projects!
Tnx Tim for the video, very helpful!
Great work, man. Helps a lot. I have one thing to add. In the rock_paper_scissors project, you forgot to add -- what happens when user_pick is same as computer_pick. I added extra elif condition with that, with print option "Nobody won"
Just wanted to say you have an awesome channel! Instead of wasting my time and/or copying code I wanted to get back into programming really badly to scratch that itch (front-end development ended up boring the crap out of me with HTML/CSS, and don't even get me started on JavaScript). But the way you explained things so simply and thoughtfully was really something and got me pretty excited! Keep up the good work, Tim! :D
hey myan ! honestly i was in search of this kind of video from last 12 months , but literally i had found nothing similar what i think so i was confusing wheather to continue learning programming language or not but you gave me the hope and full confident . Literally myan i was looking videos for last 12 months but i have never gained any-thing though i learned some of the basic but i don't know where to utilized my learned basic butttt when i watched your video than i came to know that i have learned lots of things and now-onwards i will be doing similar kind of project and from easier project to tougher one . Thanks a lot myan . i can't even explain what i am feeling right now .
haha i know my english is weak because it's not my major language but i tried to explain . love you bro from buttom of the heart. LOVE FROM NEPAL
Hello Tim, I've been watching your 5 Mini Projects video and I kept wonder why you kept on using "While True" construct. Then I realized that this is the Do/While equivalent in other languages. In this way you are making sure that the code enters the loop at least once no matter what, and then the check for true or false occurs inside the loop. I'm new at python. Really, I'm new to them all. But I did have some familiarity with the others like 'C', 'Pascal' and 'C++.' For the first time, I am actually sitting down and learning what I've put off for nearly 45+ years, now that I'm retired.
Great videos. I noticed that on the Scissors, Paper Rock, there was no option for a draw, but that was an easy fix by adding another elif statement for the draw and then adding it as an option to count the number of draws by adding another print statement at the bottom
yeah had the same, did the draw first as the if :)
can you guys show this elif 'cause i dont really know how to code this one, ths
@@Adam-gk9or
if user_input == "rock" and computer_pick == "scissors":
print("you won!")
user_wins +=1
elif user_input == "paper" and computer_pick == "rock":
print("you won!")
user_wins += 1
elif user_input == "scissors" and computer_pick == "paper":
print("you won!")
user_wins += 1
elif user_input == computer_pick:
print("It's a draw")
draws += 1
else:
print("You Lost!")
computer_wins += 1
I don't want to just provide the answer as practice will help build and reinforce the knowledge but here is an example (Think of x as user_input and y as computer_pick in terms of the Rock, Paper, Scissors game):
x = 5
y = 5
if x > y:
print("You Win!")
elif x < y:
print("You Lose!")
elif x == y
print("You Draw")
This works as an elif statement checks each statement entered (In this case x == y) to check if it returns a Boolean value of True. Remember, if you add additional statements with the (And, Or, or Not Logical Operators) they must all return a Boolean value of True in order to execute the print() function.
In the case of a tie x and y would have to be the same which would return that Boolean value of True for this statement and execute the print() function.
Thanks Tim, this really helped me a lot in understanding Python and interview preparation! 😃
I'm trying to wrap my head around the python for around two weeks now. was able to understand the separate blocks, but it was problem for me to be connecting it (if u don't know the rules it's hard to be just trying noticing patterns) and this helped so much. Made all the games with u and feel that I'm much better in understanding this logic! thank you!
Watching this with my 8yr old son so we can build a mini-game to go along with this birthday party invite. We're going to try and have a code camp party where everyone get's to make their own mini-games. Great tutorial! :)
You are great teacher. Your way to teach is very good and Clear. Keep on going! Just made my first game with your 90min game tutorial. Awesome! I started learning python about month ago. Thank you!
Finally, a teacher who gets it!!! Nice and quick. Easy. Real world examples.
Also, on the Rock Papers Scissors, I edited my program for when we picked the same and printed a "Draw".
I've watched this for a few minutes and am happy because I know by the time am done with watching this I will be doing way better than I am doing right now...such a good facilitator
This video has helped us a lot ..The explanation to every coding line was really helpful ,especially for the beginners .Amazing job done!!!
Make a video how to become super productive
And how you are so dedicated
How to become disciplined
Importance of studying
Things like that..
Great idea!
I need friends who wants to learn python
We will learn together
Struggling to understand what my teacher is talking about during lectures. You make it WAY easier to understand how to apply the information to an actual project.
your the best tim ive been exploring many tutorials online to learn python and your videos help the most
for the rock paper scissors game. To include a draw feature, try the following code as part of the elif statements
elif user_Input == cpu_Pick:
print ("No Winner here, Go again")
something like that worked a treat
This was such a good video, thank you so much. The only problem with the rock paper scissors game was that if there was a tie, the computer would always win, but other than that, great vid :)
Thanks so much. I did two 5 hour intro courses on Python but seeing these simple projects is so much more fun and engaging. This kind of thing just makes me want to code more.
Thank you so much for this video! As a beginner in Python, I couldn’t have asked for more! ❤😊😍
I know that one day, soon, I’ll be helping beginners just like you (all) are helping me! Knowledge must be share❤
Man, you are the best tutor. I already payed for a course that I couldn't learn a bit that I have learned here with you. Thanks 🇧🇷👍
Thank you!

@@nonhelpablegamer6070 haha
FYI, in the number guesser, the condition to check for negative numbers will never be hit because the .isdigit() method will return False for negative numbers. The else will catch all the non-positive / non-numeric inputs.
Yes, you need to "try int(some_variable)" to test if a number is an integer (ie. allow for negative whole numbers).
im a beginner and i was spamming negative numbers but the programm didnt give a fuck lol.. now i know why thank you ...
@@cuencaguy9799 right! Here's what I came up with
import random
def getInput(for_next_guess):
prompt = "Please indicate a integer greater than 0 representing the top of the guessing range. "
if for_next_guess:
prompt = "Guess a number between 1 and " + str(top_of_range) + ". "
user_input = input(prompt)
try:
user_input = int(user_input)
except ValueError:
print("Value must be a number.")
return getInput(for_next_guess)
if not for_next_guess and user_input < 1:
print("Number must be greater than 0")
return getInput(False)
return user_input
top_of_range = getInput(False)
random_number = random.randint(1, top_of_range)
guess = 0
while guess != random_number:
guess = getInput(True)
if guess < random_number:
print("too low")
else:
print("too high")
print("Correct!")
Appreciate this video. First time coding and this was extremely helpful in getting me up and running!
Hey Tim, great video and excellent for beginners!
I wanted to add that for Rock, Paper, Scissors, there's a slightly more complex (for beginners), but cleaner way to do this (if it hasn't been posted yet) by using modulo arithmetic. Because RPS is a cyclical game, (0 beats 1, 1 beats 2, 2 beats 0), we can use a bit of mod magic ( % ). Some pseudocode below:
If the player choice is equal to the computer choice
Declare a Draw
Else if the ( player choice + 1) % 3 is equal to the (computer choice % 3)
Declare computer wins
Else
Declare the player wins
I know modulo is a bit more advanced topic, but I love using it in situations like this because it removes the need for large if statement chains. This also means if we were to say, want to play "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock" from Big Bang Theory, it'd be a much simpler modification by simply changing it all to % 5 and extending the choices.
can u please send the code link?
There will be a better way to do nearly everything, compared to what is shown in a beginner tutorial. Modulo doesn't belong in a beginner tutorial.
Bro I have run this project before using Tim's strategy but I think yours is also superb can you enlighten me on it?
nice, thanks!
Great video👍 I would add to the rock paper scissors game a line in the whole loop that checks for a tie and add a tie counter as well
yeah, that would've been a nice addition, as would be showing how many ties there were. maybe also counting a win after beating the opponent 2 out of 3 times.
i wanna python course tim did he have one free ? he s so good
thank you fam for taking the time to explain the code and then also what each thing you use does. it's lit and makes more sense.
54:20 I add another "elif", just in case the user and computer picked the same option.
elif user_input == computer_pick:
print("It's a draw.")
user_wins += 1
computer_wins += 1
Haha just in the minute I was searching for such a tutorial on yt you uploaded one ;)
Hope you enjoyed it!
lol I was just in that same situation and going to write it too! hahaaha
Yo ur channel name just broke my youtube page lmao
Great Video!
I love that you answered all my "But what if..." questions throughout the entire video.
Thank you Tim, I was looking for something to get started in python and these projects were quite helpful for sure.
I was waiting for it
Thank you tim currently working on a password manager too this will help me 😄
@ANoobyPlayer UwU It's a scam, LoL.
These are the online bots, who comment on TH-cam channels.
Guess what!!, these are coded with python 😂
@@playerscience :))))))))))))
Thanks so much. This is the best tutorial i ever watched. I have really gotten confident after watching and following. I was able to add number games played in the rock, scissors, paper game and many more. Thank you
Very interactive
I like how he went through the lessons and explaind the functions rather just telling us what they do
but instead he applied them
this was way more fun and way more stress free
every programmer tutor should watch this and learn how a programmer should teach. Good job Tim
Awesome! I actually loved it more than normal tutorial. It was fun & entertaining. Keep goin' tim. Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩
From west bengal!!
Are you?
Great content! it surely has helped a lot of beginners out there. Thank you for this Tim!
ps : you forgot to put the "draw" condition in Rock/Paper/Scissors game :D
10 month old comment, but here is a "draw" condition added into the code. Its also condensed into a single line for each scenario
elif (user_input == "rock" and computer_pick == "rock") or (user_input == "paper" and computer_pick == "paper") or (user_input == "scissor" and computer_pick == "Scissor"):
print("Draw!")
continue
Enjoy :)
I just learned python today and these were extremely helpful to practice!!
Thank u so much .u invest so much energy in explaining in a simplistic manner.. very much appreciated .. ur my third TH-camr in the journey of learning python
Great tutorial. 1 small thing for the rock paper scissors game: you forgot to check for a draw state. But very clear and easy to follow tutorial!
Yep i noticed and made it myself i felt epic
These mini projects are great Tim. They more helpful to strengthen my basics. But in rock paper scissors task , if user and computer picks same then computer would win.
yeah i found the same issue. There isn't a tie scenario
thank you for doing beginner fun stuff. it makes learning this stuff fee; so much more rewarding
Tim thank you so much! Your videos have a great impact in my career journey.
In rock paper scissors
You should have add another condition -
if user_input==computer_pick:
print("pick again")
something like that
I had a similar idea here. I added three more elif statements ( elif user_input == "rock" and computer_input == "rock" print("Tie!") user_wins += 0, and did that for each rock, paper, and scissors.) Your way would be a lot more succinct though!
I ran your idea and it's much better, considering its much less code on screen than the long drawn-out way I first wrote mine.
@@Moflia2 I simply created an elif under the previous elif's in the tutorial.
elif user_input == computer_pick:
print("Draw!")
no need to input the score values as it muddies up the code. this is one line that takes care of all three statements.
you should make ties a variable like user_wins and print it at the end
@@TruckerDudeBrent I did exactly that!
You are awesome. I am a new subscriber. 👏🏽👏🏽 Could you please make a video on Intermediate or Advanced project, please??
