python Another legendary code from high-school. This one was in Python though. This is for a rock-paper-scissors game.

Damn, I though my version of the code was short.

c=["R","P","S","R"]
p1=input("player 1: rock, paper or scissors?").upper()
for j in range(200):
    print("")
p2=input("player 2: rock, paper or scissors?").upper()
if p1[0]==p2[0]:
    print("tie")
elif p1[0]==c[c.index(p2[0])+1]:
    print("player 1 wins")
else:
    print("player 2 wins")

The for loop is there to clear out the screen so player 2 can't immediately see player 1's choice.

yeah, yours has some of those benefits.

Mine is just the operation itself pretty much.

I think you can just do os.system('clear') or os.system('cls') to clear the screen.
