#This is a simple paper, rock, scissors game, where the players
#enter one of those three options, and the program determines which is the
#winner, with the rules of "paper beats scissors, scissors beats paper,
#and paper beats rock".
#THe following two lines sets the values of "value1" and "value2" to 0. These are the strings
#that will allow us to compare the input from player one to player2
value1=0
value2=0

#this is the instruction that takes input from player 1 and translates it
#to an integer value, which allows us to compare it to player 2 (I think the
#previous 3 lines of code aren't necessary, but hey, they're in there.
player1=raw_input("Player 1, enter 'rock' 'paper' or 'scissors': ")
if player1 == "rock":
    value1=3
elif player1 == "scissors":
    value1=2
elif player1 == "paper":
    value1=1
#This tells the player if they didn't enter a valid option for their input
else:
    print "You didn't enter a valid object."

#This is the same as for player one, it just assigns the value of
#rock, etc, to "value2"
player2=raw_input("Player 2, enter 'rock' 'paper' or 'scissors': ")
if player2 == "rock":
    value2=3
elif player2 == "scissors":
    value2=2
elif player2 == "paper":
    value2=1
else:
    print "You didn't enter a valid object."

#next, we assign a function to compare value1 to value2 (I think
#you really don't need this as a function, but i like functions.
def testvalue(value1, value2):
    if value1==3 and value2==1:
        print "Player 2 wins."
    elif value1==1 and value2==3:
        print "Player 1 wins."
    elif value1==value2:
        print "Tie."
    elif value1 > value2:
        print "Player 1 wins."
    elif value2 > value1:
        print "Player 2 wins."

#then we run the function, with value1 and value2
testvalue(value1, value2)
