Hello All,

I am new to this so I am not sure if this is going to post correctly. I am trying to create a rock, paper, scissors game. My issue with my code is I only want the code to repeat if the computer picks the same choice as the user, however, my code is repeating everytime. If anyone could help me with this I would appreciate it!

Thanks,

Taylor

//This program let a user play rock, paper, scissors with a computer.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib> //For rand and srand
#include <ctime> //For the time function
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    //Get a random number.
    unsigned seed= time(0);
    //Seed the random number generator
    srand(seed);
    int userChoice;
    int computerChoice = rand()%3+1;
    cout << "Rock, Paper, Scissors Game\n";
    cout << "You are playing against the computer\n";
    cout << "Type 1 for rock\n";
    cout << "Type 2 for paper\n";
    cout << "Type 3 for scissors\n";
    cin >> userChoice;                      //User enters choice here
    cout <<computerChoice<<endl;            



    if (userChoice == 1) 
    {
              if (computerChoice == 1)
              cout << "We have made the same choice. Rematch!\n\n\n\n";
              else if (computerChoice == 2)
              cout << "Paper wraps rock, computer wins\n";
              else if (computerChoice == 3)
              cout << "Rock smashes scissors, you win\n";
    }   
    if (userChoice == 2)
    {
               if (computerChoice == 2)
               cout << "We have made the same choice. Rematch!\n\n\n\n";
               else if (computerChoice ==1)
               cout << "Paper wraps rock, you win\n";
               else if (computerChoice == 3)
               cout << "Scissors cut paper, computer wins\n";
   }  
   if (userChoice == 3)
   {
              if (computerChoice == 3)
              cout << "We have made the same choice. Rematch!\n\n\n\n";
              else if (computerChoice == 2)
              cout << "Scissors cut paper, you win\n";
              else if (computerChoice == 1)
              cout << "Rock smashes scissors, computer wins\n";

   }
   return main();

}

use a loop that checks user vs computer input for equality before doing test for winner/loser.

int userInput;
int computerSelection;
//get user input
//start with computerSelection equal to userInput
computerSelection = userInput;
//now change selection until they are different
while(computerSelection == userInput)
  //get new computerSelection
//then compare userInput and computerSelection with regard to rock/paper/scissors now that they are different.

I tried to work that into the code but when I do it does not display anything after the user puts in a number.

Just incase what you have in a do..while() loop.

do{//start the loop here
cout << "Rock, Paper, Scissors Game\n";
cout << "You are playing against the computer\n";
cout << "Type 1 for rock\n";
cout << "Type 2 for paper\n";
cout << "Type 3 for scissors\n";
cin >> userChoice; //User enters choice here
cout <<computerChoice<<endl;



if (userChoice == 1)
{
if (computerChoice == 1)
cout << "We have made the same choice. Rematch!\n\n\n\n";
else if (computerChoice == 2)
cout << "Paper wraps rock, computer wins\n";
else if (computerChoice == 3)
cout << "Rock smashes scissors, you win\n";
}
if (userChoice == 2)
{
if (computerChoice == 2)
cout << "We have made the same choice. Rematch!\n\n\n\n";
else if (computerChoice ==1)
cout << "Paper wraps rock, you win\n";
else if (computerChoice == 3)
cout << "Scissors cut paper, computer wins\n";
}
if (userChoice == 3)
{
if (computerChoice == 3)
cout << "We have made the same choice. Rematch!\n\n\n\n";
else if (computerChoice == 2)
cout << "Scissors cut paper, you win\n";
else if (computerChoice == 1)
cout << "Rock smashes scissors, computer wins\n";

}
    }while(userChoice==computerChoice);//The loop continues until there is a winner

And also change the return value of the main method back to 0.

This worked, thank you so much for your help!!!

Please give me some code that rock,paper and scissors

2 player will game and that who will raise or reach the 3 points will win!!!
