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.

    Very cool Video. I'm a beginner and I found all this very easy to understand:
    at the Rock papers scissors game the Draw option was missing so I just added that :
    elif user_input == "rock" and CPU_pick == "rock":
    print("you picked the same, let's do this again")
    elif user_input == "paper" and CPU_pick == "paper":
    print("you picked the same, let's do this again")
    elif user_input == "scissors" and CPU_pick == "scissors":
    print("you picked the same, let's do this again")
    and now it seems to work.

      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)

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    In the third project I noticed that sometimes the computer's pick and mine are the same and the computer wins, so I added 3 elif to print that no one won and try again, in case it happens again and we both pick the same thing. That felt great that I noticed a problem and tried to fix it.
    So thank you!

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.

      @destrycravens7231 Год назад

      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.

      print ("You got" ,score, "questions correct!")
      another way to do it

      can you share the error message? If you copied the code (as in copied and pasted it into your program) then the error most likely be because of indentation error. When you indent, you use the Tab key, and that makes "tab spaces". If you copy the code online then most likely the indentations are normal spaces because most websites don't support tab spaces. Try replacing the indentations of the code with tab spaces and see if that worked

      I do apologize for anyone asking me questions in this thread. I stopped learning and messing with Python code a month ago and really would be of little help in finding solutions.

    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.

    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.

    I did the first project and learnt a lot by just doing that! It was fun, I tried adding new things in my code as well! Overall, for a beginner, this is definitely a great video to watch and learn! Thank you so much Tim! I'm going to start learning more about python, ML from your channel
