In the file RPS.py you are provided with a function called player. The function takes an argument that is a string describing the last move of the opponent ("R", "P", or "S"). The function will return a string representing the next move for it to play ("R", "P", or "S").
A player function receives an empty string as an argument for the first game in a match since there is no previous play.
The example function in RPS.py is defined with five arguments (player(prev_play, prob_matr = [{}], key = [""], guess = [""], counter = [0]). The function is never called with a 2-5 argumentы so those ones are completely optional. The reason why the examplse function contains a second argument (prob_matr = [{}]) is because that is the only way to save state between consecutive calls of the player function. You only need the prob_matr = [{}] argument if you want to keep track of the opponent_history.
To defeat all four opponents, this program have multiple strategies that change depending on the plays of the opponent.
main.py imports the game function and bots from RPS_game.py.
To test your code, play a game with the play function. The play function takes four arguments:
- two players to play against each other (the players are actually functions)
- the number of games to play in the match
- an optional argument to see a log of each game. Set it to
Trueto see these messages.
play(player1, player2, num_games, verbose)For example, here is how you would call the function if you want player and quincy to play 1000 games against each other and you want to see the results of each game:
play(player, quincy, 1000, verbose=True)Click the "run" button and main.py will run.
The unit tests for this project are in test_module.py. We imported the tests from test_module.py to main.py for your convenience. If you uncomment the last line in main.py, the tests will run automatically whenever you hit the "run" button.
