This is a game where the player plays against the computer in a rock paper scissors game. I am trying to make the computer score or player score go up depending on which one wins. But it does not increment when I try to run it. I am new to functions and returning values so I do not really understand it.
// Declaring variables
let playerScore = 0;
let computerScore = 0;
// Gives a random value from the array
function computerPlay(){
var things = ['rock', 'paper', 'scissors'];
var random = things[Math.floor(Math.random()*things.length)];
console.log('The computer chose: ' + random);
return random;
}
// plays a round of the game
function playRound(playerSelection, computerSelection){
if(playerSelection === computerSelection){
console.log("tie");
}
else if(playerSelection === "rock" && computerSelection === "paper"){
console.log("YOU LOSE");
computerWin();
}
else if(playerSelection === "rock" && computerSelection === "scissors"){
console.log("YOU WIN");
playerWin();
}
else if(playerSelection === "paper" && computerSelection === "rock"){
console.log("YOU WIN");
playerWin();
}
else if(playerSelection === "paper" && computerSelection === "scissors"){
console.log("YOU LOSE");
computerWin();
}
else if(playerSelection === "scissors" && computerSelection === "paper"){
console.log("YOU WIN");
playerWin();
}
else{
console.log("YOU LOSE");
computerWin();
}
}
function playerWin(){
++playerScore;
console.log("Player Score is " + playerScore);
}
function computerWin(){
++computerScore;
console.log("Computer Score is " + computerScore)
}
// Call functions
let chooseWord = "Choose ";
let playerSelection = prompt(chooseWord);
console.log(playerSelection.toLowerCase());
let computerSelection = computerPlay();
computerSelection.toLowerCase();
playRound(playerSelection, computerSelection);
computerWin();
playerWin();
