How would I update the game score after each result? This is something i've been working on in console as part of a school project and spent way too much time trying to tie this up. I have managed to get the results to show on the console as who is the winner based on the switch and cases but how do I take that extracted outcome of string text and make something that will update the game array? Sorry if i'm not asking the right question
const game = {
win: 0,
loss: 0,
};
const choices = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"];
var random1 = Math.round(Math.random() * 2);
var random2 = Math.round(Math.random() * 2);
var bot1 = choices[random1];
var bot2 = choices[random2];
console.log("Player 1:" + bot1);
console.log("Player 2:" + bot2);
var result = "";
function returnResult() {
switch (bot1) {
case "paper":
switch (bot2) {
case "rock":
console.log("Player 1 Wins!");
result = win++;
break;
case "scissors":
console.log("Player 2 Wins!");
result = loss++;
break;
case "paper":
console.log("Draw!");
break;
}
}
switch (bot1) {
case "rock":
switch (bot2) {
case "scissors":
console.log("Player 1 Wins!");
result = win++;
break;
case "paper":
console.log("Player 2 Wins!");
result = loss++;
break;
case "rock":
console.log("Draw!");
break;
}
}
switch (bot1) {
case "scissors":
switch (bot2) {
case "paper":
console.log("Player 1 Wins!");
result = win++;
break;
case "rock":
console.log("Player 2 Wins!");
result = loss++;
break;
case "scissors":
console.log("Draw!");
break;
}
}
return result;
}
console.log(results);
Not sure how you intend on playing the game, but here is a suggestion on how to keep score in your game object. Press the Play button to start game and keep score in game:
const game = {
win: 0,
loss: 0,
};
const choices = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"];
function returnResult() {
console.clear() // This is just to prevent console crowding for this example
// Move your random number generators inside the function
// so you get a new random number each time game is played.
const random1 = Math.round(Math.random() * 2);
const random2 = Math.round(Math.random() * 2);
const bot1 = choices[random1];
const bot2 = choices[random2];
console.log("Player 1:" + bot1);
console.log("Player 2:" + bot2);
// var result = ""; You don't this if you are keeping score in `game` object
// No need to call switch on bot1 three times:
switch (bot1) {
case "paper":
switch (bot2) {
case "rock":
console.log("Player 1 Wins!");
game.win++; // Update game win
break;
case "scissors":
console.log("Player 2 Wins!");
game.loss++; // Update game loss
break;
case "paper":
console.log("Draw!");
break;
}
break;
case "rock":
switch (bot2) {
case "scissors":
console.log("Player 1 Wins!");
game.win++; // Update game win
break;
case "paper":
console.log("Player 2 Wins!");
game.loss++; // Update game loss
break;
case "rock":
console.log("Draw!");
break;
}
break;
case "scissors":
switch (bot2) {
case "paper":
console.log("Player 1 Wins!");
game.win++; // Update game win
break;
case "rock":
console.log("Player 2 Wins!");
game.loss++; // Update game loss
break;
case "scissors":
console.log("Draw!");
break;
}
break;
}
// return result; No need to return result. Update game object every play instead.
console.log(game)
return game // Return game object if needed
}<button onclick="returnResult()">Play</button>
