Description
Rock-Paper-Scissors
Write a program that allows a user to play Rock-Paper-Scissors against the computer. Have the
program keep score of how many times each has won a round. Your program should have a
main method that has a loop that repeats the game until the user chooses to quit.
Display the
final score before exiting.
Write the following functions:
1. weapon_menu() – Asks the user to input their choice: (R)ock, (P)aper, (S)cissors,
or (B)ack. Checks user input for validity and then returns the inputted value.
2. comp_weapon() – Randomly chooses the computer’s throw and returns an “R”,
“P”, or “S”.
3. find_winner(player, comp) – Passes in the two weapons (R, P, or S),
displays the throws, compares the two weapons and displays the result and returns
who is the winner of that round (0=Tie, 1=Player, 2=Computer).
a. Rock crushes Scissors
b. Scissors cuts Paper
c. Paper covers Rock
4. display_scores(player, comp) – Displays the scores.

main menu (not the weapon menu).
2. Use the random module to randomly choose the computer’s weapon.

parameters to your functions.
4. Do not create any extra functions or add any extra parameters.
5. Please read through the Coding Standards document provided on Canvas for guidance on
how to name your variables and to format your program.

return values.

the top of your program.
