Since theres no real strategy to rock paper scissors, just generate a random number from 0-2 like this: import random random.seed() choice=random.randint(0, 2) if choice==0: #do whatever for rock elif choice==1: #do whatever for paper else: #do whatever for scissors That'll take care of the basics for ya. Later you could try and keep frequency counts over a bunch of trials, see if the human has a preference, and then weight your response appropriately to try and beat them ;) -Jordan Greenberg _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
