8:49 you can use a dictionary mapping, e.g.:

key = p1 + p2
keymap = {'PP': -1, 'PR' : 0, 'PS': 1, 'RR' : -1, 'RS': 0, 'RP': 1, 'SS': -1, 'SP': 0, 'SR': 1}
result = keymap[key]


Great channel!

8:50 I made reduces if statements

if p1 == p2:
winner = -1
elif p1+p2 in ('PR', 'RS', 'SP'):
winner = 0
else:
winner = 1

9:03 Yes, there is a WAY easier way man !


I wrote that in PHP but still, using modulo you don't have to write any of the if statements.


<?php


$hands = ['R' => 1, 'P' => 2, 'S' => 3];
$outcomes = [0 => "Draw", 1 => "P1 WIN", 2 => "P2 WIN"];


$p1Hand = 'P';
$p2Hand = 'R';


- $hands[$p2Hand] + 3) % 3]); // P1 WIN

Tim: I didn't post for 3 days
Me: Really!!! You make every day a Post! That's awesome!!

8:49 you can decide that:

rock = 1
paper = 2
scissors = 3

and then do:

def func(n1, n2):
if n1 == n2:
return "tie"
winner = "1" if n1 == n2 + 1 or n1 == n2 -2 else "2"
return f"player {winner} won!

After breaking my head for more than one hour, I thought that both rock-paper-scissors and the modulo operator have a circular nature, so I decided to utilize that: def winner(self):
if moves[0] == moves[1]:
self.ties += 1
return -1
options = ["R", "S", "P"]
winner = ((options[moves[0]] - options[moves[1]]) % 2)
self.wins[winner] += 1
return winner

8:50 with years of hindsight, match/case will do this far more efficiently in both code and typing

Love your content you really helped me keep going👏👏👏

if you're having problems with s.listen(), you can change the last dygit of the port number. It works for me

Hi Tim, I have been following your tutorials and I like them so much. Recently, I created a python-selenium bot and my friends want to use it. I want to share it with them in a way they cannot decompile the executable file and without sharing my codes. I tried following your "Python Online Game Tutorials" but it did not work. Any ideas how I can approach this? Thanks

if p0 == p1:
return -1

if (p0, p1) in [(ROCK, SICC), (PAPER, ROCK), (SICC, PAPER)]:
return 0
return 1

i think this is the most elegant way

[gabrielmarcondes]

I don't really understood why u stop to use pickle to transfer data. Don't should it be more efficient? I mean.. pickle is made for this, no?

[Vincent]

i can't seem to choose on the 2nd player. the first player works just fine

[musicstar]

What would be some key differences between this and trying to make rock paper scissors in a discord python bot?

[rinsarata]

how to determine the port and the server? can i know?.. is it random?

[donlanky]

im trying to create a spades card game online - i have the game done but not sure how to use this video to send the game to both players etc. any help would be great or links ...

[raseshshetty]

9:04 you may have taken them in dictionary and it would have 3 cases instead of 9

[yigitgumus]

Nobody: Hey guys and welcome back to another ... :D

[TanzanihT]

What about the S.listen? Why can't people ask you about that, you need to smoke weed and chill or have fun or something bruh, I've never seen someone with no personality before, not trying to be mean just smile dude lol
