Welcome to python and the tutor list.
I don't know what you mean by "figure out the scoring". Please explain.
Did you test the program? Please do that now, fix the problems that you
will discover.
I don't want to sound discouraging, but there are many problems here. I
will list some.
Unused items e.g. random.
Undefined names e.g. difference.
Unnecessary function calls e.g. str, int
Repeated code.
I assume this is your first attempt at programming.
Have you gone through any tutorials?
It would be good to start with something simpler.
I suggest you sit with pencil and paper and walk through the program line
by line.
What happens If a player enters something other than a valid choice?
We want you to succeed. But you must study proper coding techniques. Take a
course, read a book, get a simpler program running.
