Mini-project Description-rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock

Rock-paper-scissors is a hand game this is played by the people. The players count to three in unison and simultaneously "throw" one of the three hand signals this correspond to rock, paper O R Scissors. The winner is determined by the rules:

• Rock smashes scissors
• Scissors cuts paper
• Paper covers Rock

Rock-paper-scissors is a surprisingly popular game this many people play seriously (see the Wikipedia article for details) . Due to the fact that a tie happens around 1/3 of the time, several variants of rock-paper-scissors exist that include more Choices to make ties less likely.

Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock (RPSLS) is a variant of rock-paper-scissors that allows five choices. Each choice wins against the other choices, loses against the other choices and ties against itself. Much of Rpsls ' s popularity is the It had been featured in 3 episodes of the TV series "The Big Bang theory". The Wikipedia entry for Rpsls gives, the complete description of the details of the game.

In our first mini-project, we'll build a Python function rpsls(name) that takes as input the string name , which is one of the ,,, "paper" "scissors" "lizard" , or "Spock" . The function then simulates playing a round of rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock by generating it own random choice from T hese alternatives and then determining the winner using a simple rule that we'll next describe.

While Rock-paper-scissor-lizard-spock have a set of ten rules that logically determine who wins a round of RPSLS, coding up These rules would require a large number (5x5=25) of if / elif / else clauses in your mini-project code. A simpler method for determining the winner are to assign each of the five choices a number:

• 0-rock
• 1-spock
• 2-paper
• 3-lizard
• 4-scissors

In this expanded list, each choice wins against the preceding the choices and loses against the following-choices (if Rock and scissors are thought of as being adjacent using modular arithmetic).

In any of the mini-projects for this class, we'll provide a walk through of the steps involved in building your project To aid its development. A template for your mini-project are availablehere. Please refer to this template.
