Rock, Paper, Scissors is a classic game. But what if you played multiple rounds and kept score? In this project, you will write a program that plays multiple rounds against the computer, keeps track of wins and losses, and crowns a champion!

Your program must meet the following specifications:

• Import the random module to pick the computer’s move
• Define a function called get_winner that compares the player’s move and computer’s move and returns 'player', 'computer', or 'tie'
• Use a while or for loop to play multiple rounds (at least 3)
• In each round:
  • Ask the player to choose rock, paper, or scissors
  • Randomly pick a move for the computer
  • Call get_winner to determine the round winner
  • Print the result (what each player chose and who won)
  • Keep track of player wins, computer wins, and ties
• After all rounds are finished, print a final leaderboard showing total wins for each player

For example, after 3 rounds, your program might print:

=== ROUND 1 ===
You chose: rock
Computer chose: scissors
You win! 🎉

=== ROUND 2 ===
You chose: paper
Computer chose: paper
It's a tie!

=== ROUND 3 ===
You chose: scissors
Computer chose: rock
Computer wins!

=== FINAL SCORE ===
You: 1 win
Computer: 1 win
Ties: 1

The Random Module

The random module lets you pick random values. Import it at the top and use random.choice() to pick from a list:

import random

moves = ['rock', 'paper', 'scissors']
computer_move = random.choice(moves)
print(computer_move)  # could be any of the three

Game Rules

• Rock beats Scissors
• Scissors beats Paper
• Paper beats Rock
• If both players chose the same move, it’s a tie

Example Code

Here is a starting point. Fill in the TODO comments to meet the specifications above!

import random

def get_winner(player, computer):
    """Compare moves and return the winner."""
    # TODO: return 'player', 'computer', or 'tie'
    pass

# Game setup
moves = ['rock', 'paper', 'scissors']
player_wins = 0
computer_wins = 0
ties = 0

# Play multiple rounds
# TODO: use a while or for loop to play at least 3 rounds

    # Get player input
    player_move = input("Choose rock, paper, or scissors: ").lower()
    
    # Get computer move
    computer_move = random.choice(moves)
    
    # Determine winner
    # TODO: call get_winner() and store the result
    
    # Print round results
    # TODO: print what each player chose and who won
    
    # Update scores
    # TODO: increment the appropriate counter

# Print final leaderboard
# TODO: print player wins, computer wins, and ties

Additional Challenges (not required)

• Let the player choose how many rounds to play
• Validate player input (reject moves that aren’t rock, paper, or scissors)
• Print a celebratory message if the player wins the tournament
• Ask the player if they want to play again after the tournament ends
• Keep a running record of tournaments played (how many times the player has beaten the computer overall)
