# PLANNING

# To start this project I need to have a game idea/function planned: rock, paper, scissors

# From here, I'm going to makesure I have the programming language that I will be using installed
# on my system, then find a reliable source for the syntax, such as variables, strings, loops, etc
# here I used w3schools.com 

# With these in mind, I can start the project

# PSEUDUCODE

# Here I come I write the basic logic in psedo code in order to break the project down step by step,
# but to also ensure it's in a readable format, so If I need to debug the logic far easier 
# than If i tried to debug once I wrote everything in Python


# 1) Take a users input, and store this as x, values can only be rock, paper, or scissors

# 2) computer chooses random string between three options (Scissors, Rock, Paper) and stores as y

# 3) Now here's the fun part, in my optinion. I need to build the logic behind the program.

# So: If x = rock and y = scissors
# or if x = paper and y = rock
# or if x = scissors and y = paper

# then print/computer says: "You win! Computer chose y"

# else if x == y then print: "You draw, computer also chose y"

# else print: "You lose, computer chose y"

# Give user option to replay - As of writing the blog, this hasn't been done just yet

# THE PROGRAM 

x = input("Which one do you choose? Rock, Paper, or Scissors? ") # for this, I literally didn't search anything, I knew I wanted
# user input, so I scrolled down to the python user input section on w3 schools.
# AFTER THIS I WANT THE USER TO ONLY BE ABLE TO CHOOSE ONE OF THE THREE, i DON'T WANT PROGRAM STORING EVERYTHING - I still need to add this
# I just scrolled passed the check string function in python, maybe i will return and try that for line 41 comment


# I struggled to find the next part (making the computer select a random choice) scrolling through w3 school, so typed this into google:
# "how to get the computer to choose a random string in python", coincidence the first choice
# was a w3 schools article showing the python random choice method

complist = ["Rock", "Paper", "Scissors"] 

y = random.choice(complist)

# before continuing, I tested the output to makesure this worked, breaking up the program further. You can do this by just using the print function, e.g, print y, and ensure It's different/randomised. 
# It's way easier to debug in steps.

if x.casefold() == "rock" and y == "Scissors": 
    print ("You Win! Computer chose " + y)
elif x.casefold() == "paper" and y == "Rock": # same issue as line 60 now, it's not letting me win
    print ("You Win! Computer chose " + y)
elif x.casefold() == "scissors" and y == "Paper": # for some reason the game was working until I selected scissors and y = paper, it said I lost, so this line needs work (SOLVED: instead of if, i did another elif, and indented it as shown, python is indentation sensitive)
    print ("You Win! Computer chose " + y)
elif x.casefold() == y.casefold(): # Here I fixed the issues with capital letters by typing on google: "how to remove capital sensitive in python strings", leading me to the .casefold() function on stack overflow
    print ("You both Draw! Computer chose " + y)
else: 
    print ("You Lose! Computer chose " + y)    



# FIRST BUGS ENCOUNTERED: 1) I had issues with capital letters, i.e when a user typed 'rock' and not 'Rock', the computer wouln't register that as an answer (fixed with .casefold()).
    # 2) I missed the "=="" + ":" to the and if statement. Example: if x.casefold() == "rock" **and** y =(=) "Scissors"(:) - I missed the == + :, after the and, I noticed this fairly quickly.
    # 3) My If, else statements weren't indented correctly initially, which made the computer skip some of the statements/code. Solved by playing around with the indentations.
