How to Make Your Game Run 5 Times and Calculate Scores in Python

In the world of programming, creating interactive games can be both fun and educational. If you've been experimenting with Python and want to improve your game by allowing it to run multiple rounds, this guide is for you. Specifically, we'll explore how to modify a game so that it runs 5 times, calculating scores along the way.

Understanding the Problem

You have a simple game where the player and a computer-controlled nemesis make decisions that result in scores. Currently, it only runs once. Your goal is to modify it so that the game:

Runs 5 times, allowing players to make decisions in each round.

Tracks and totals the scores of both players throughout these rounds.

Declares a winner at the end based on the accumulated scores.

Step-by-Step Solution

Here's how you can achieve this:

1. Initialize Score Variables

Start by creating two variables to hold the cumulative scores for the player and their nemesis. This will allow you to sum their points over the rounds easily.

2. Create a Loop for Multiple Rounds

Use a for loop that will run 5 times. Each iteration of the loop represents a single game round where players will decide whether to "pull the string" or not.

3. Get Player's Choice in Each Round

Prompt the user for their decision. This interaction should happen on each iteration of the loop.

4. Random Choice for Nemesis

For the computer's choice, generate a random response as before. Use random.randint(0, 1) to simulate this.

5. Calculate and Display Results

The logic to determine points based on both players’ choices is the same as before. You will need to update the score variables based on the outcomes of their decisions.

6. Update Cumulative Scores

At the end of each iteration, update the cumulative score variables with the scores from that round.

7. Declare the Winner

After exiting the loop, check which player has the higher score and declare the winner.

Conclusion

Enhancing the functionality of your Python game by allowing it to run multiple rounds and keeping score is a valuable exercise in programming. By following these steps, you'll gain a deeper understanding of loops, conditionals, and how to manage game state effectively. Now, you can challenge friends with your updated game experience!
