Snake-Water-Gun-Game

🐍 Snake-Water-Gun Game

A Python implementation of the popular Snake-Water-Gun game, similar to Rock-Paper-Scissors, where:

• Snake drinks Water 🐍 > 💧
• Gun shoots Snake 🔫 > 🐍
• Water douses Gun 💧 > 🔫 This repository includes two methods for determining the winner between the player and the computer.

Rules of the Game:

• Snake (represented as 1) beats Water.
• Water (represented as -1) beats Gun.
• Gun (represented as 0) beats Snake.
• If both the player and the computer choose the same, it's a draw.

How to Play

1. The computer randomly selects Snake, Water, or Gun.
2. The player chooses one of the following:
   • s for Snake
   • w for Water
   • g for Gun
3. The game evaluates the winner based on predefined rules.

Method 1: Conditional Logic

This method uses explicit conditional statements to compare the player's and the computer's choices.

Code Snippet:

import random
computer = random.choice([-1, 0, 1])
youstr = input("Enter your choice: ")
youDict = {"s": 1, "w": -1, "g": 0}
reverseDict = {1: "Snake", -1: "Water", 0: "Gun"}
you = youDict[youstr]
print(f"You chose {reverseDict[you]}\nComputer chose {reverseDict[computer]}")
if computer == you:
    print("It's a draw")
else:
    if computer == -1 and you == 1:  # Snake drinks Water
        print("You win!")
    elif computer == -1 and you == 0:  # Water douses Gun
        print("You Lose!")
    elif computer == 1 and you == -1:  # Snake drinks Water
        print("You lose!")
    elif computer == 1 and you == 0:  # Gun shoots Snake
        print("You Win!")
    elif computer == 0 and you == -1:  # Water douses Gun
        print("You Win!")
    elif computer == 0 and you == 1:  # Gun shoots Snake
        print("You Lose!")
    else:
        print("Something went wrong!")

Explanation:

• The program checks all possible combinations of player and computer choices.
• It prints the winner based on the results of those comparisons.

Method 2: Subtraction Logic

This method simplifies the logic by calculating the difference between the player's and the computer's choices.

Code Snippet:

import random
computer = random.choice([-1, 0, 1])
youstr = input("Enter your choice: ")
youDict = {"s": 1, "w": -1, "g": 0}
reverseDict = {1: "Snake", -1: "Water", 0: "Gun"}
you = youDict[youstr]
print(f"You chose {reverseDict[you]}\nComputer chose {reverseDict[computer]}")
if computer == you:
    print("It's a draw")
else:
    if (computer - you) == -1 or (computer - you) == 2:
        print("You lose!")
    else:
        print("You win!")

Explanation:

• The game computes the difference between the computer's and the player's choices.
• Based on the result of computer - you, the game determines if the player wins or loses.
