Blackjack python game

I have to create a blackjack game in python in which the user inputs the number of decks that are being used and the amount of money the user wants to bet. The rules are: o The player places his bet (should be read from the keyboard).
o The dealer and player are dealt two cards (one card of the dealer should be hidden).
o If the player has 21 he wins his bet; else if the dealer has 21 then the dealer wins and the player loses his bet.
o The player can only select to draw a new card (hit) or pass. Repeat until the player passes or busts. If the player goes above 21 then he busts.
o Then the dealer draws cards (automatically) until he either busts or reaches 17 or higher.
o Values of cards: A= 1 or 11 (the highest that does not bust you) and J=Q=K=10
o Note: in blackjack there are more actions: insurance, double, split; those are not required to be implemented as they would make the code you have to produce much, much longer and harder
I will show you my code below when I tried to run it, it said that the name "total" is not defined on the function game, but earlier on I have already defined it. I don't know how can i fix it.

You have not defined the function total that you call. Try adding this to your code
def total(array):
total = 0
for card in array:
if card == "J" or card == "Q" or card == "K":
total = total + 10
elif card == "A":
if total >=11:
total = total + 1
else:
total = total + 11
else:
total = total + card
return total
However I see some more issues in your code that will need fixing later on! Stand or Quit do nothing currently, and on busting there is an exception thrown since chip_pool never had a value assigned to it
EDIT 1:
You defined a function
def total_hand():
total = 0
for card in hand:
if card == "J" or card == "Q" or card == "K":
total = total + 10
elif card == "A":
if total >=11:
total = total + 1
else:
total = total + 11
else:
total = total + card
return total
Similar to what I suggested. Maybe it was just a typo but you need to do the following
Rename the function from total_hand to total OR call total_hand
Change the definition from total_hand() to total_hand(hand)

When my code not exiting while loop in python?

It's a black jack game project. When user_score > 21 or 21 , it shold exit the while loop but it is not exiting while loop.I am new in coding. Plese tell me where is the problem.
I don't want to use break command. Because from which tutorial I am learning she has not taught me it yet.
You can get an idea of black jack game here.247blackjack

Assuming your complaint is that it is prompting you if you want another card even after you bust (or win), the solution is to ensure you don't issue that prompt when the loop is supposed to be done anyway. Just change:
if want_another_card() == "y":
to:
if should_continue and want_another_card() == "y":
This will cause it to do the final_score_calculation() call in the else, which may be redundant; if it shouldn't report the results again when someone has already busted or got exactly 21, wrap the whole of:
if want_another_card() == "y":
user_card.append(deal_card())
user_score = calculate_score(user_card)
else:
final_score_calculation()
should_continue = False
in a check to see if it already knows it's done, making it:
if should_continue:
if want_another_card() == "y":
user_card.append(deal_card())
user_score = calculate_score(user_card)
else:
final_score_calculation()
should_continue = False
so it does no additional work when it already knows the game is over.

Rock Paper Scissor Loop Issue Python

As most learning python I have been tasked with making a game of rock paper scissor. As of right now I have a put together a code that works if you just run it through once. My issue is that it needs to run on a loop, running until either the user or the computer wins three times. This is what I have without putting the loop in place:
ug = input("Please enter your choice for: rock, paper, or scissors: ")
comp = [ ]
user = [ ]
random = np.random.randint(0, 3, 1)
# 1). Converts the randomly generated computer guess to str
def guessC(random):
if random == 0:
return ("R")
if random == 1:
return ("S")
if random == 2:
return ("P")
compg = guessC(random)
# prints the user guess (ug) and comp guess (compg)
print("You guessed: ", ug)
print("The computer guessed: ", compg)
#2). Determine winner
def rockpaperscisccor(compg, ug):
if compg == "R":
if ug == "R":
return 0,0
elif ug == "S":
return 1,0
elif ug == "P":
return 0,1
if compg == "P":
if ug == "P":
return 0,0
elif ug == "R":
return 1,0
elif ug == "S":
return 0,1
if compg == "S":
if ug == "S":
return 0,0
elif ug == "P":
return 1,0
elif ug == "R":
return 0,1
cs,us = rockpaperscisccor(compg, ug)
# 3). take scores of game and append comp score to its own list and user score to
# own list
def tallyuserH(us):
user = [ ]
user.append(us)
tus = 0
for i in user:
tus += i
return tus
sus = tallyuserH(us)
def compuserH(cs):
comp = [ ]
comp.append(cs)
tcs = 0
for i in comp:
tcs += i
return tcs
scs = compuserH(cs)
# 4). Score counter to determine score
def scorecounter(scs, sus):
if scs == 3:
print("The computer wins!", cs, "-", us, "!")
elif sus == 3:
print("You win!", us, "-", cs, "!")
elif scs > sus:
print("The computer leads!", cs, "-", us, "!")
elif sus > scs:
print("You lead!", us, "-", cs, "!")
elif sus == scs:
print("The score is tied at", cs, "-", us, "!")
else:
print("That doesn't seem to be a valid input")
scorecounter(scs,sus)
This is what I have got so far when I put it into a while loop. it's running infinitely where as I wanted it to stop when one player gets to 3:
print("Lets play rock, paper, scissor!")
def thegame():
i = 0
ug = input("Please enter your choice for: rock, paper, or scissors: ")
random = np.random.randint(0, 3, 1)
compg = guess(random)
print("You guessed: ", ug)
print("The computer guessed: ", compg)
cs,us = rockpaperscisccor(compg, ug)
sus = tallyuser(us)
scs = compuser(cs)
print ("user score is", sus)
print ("comp score is", scs)
while i < 6:
if scs == 3:
print("The computer wins!", cs, "-", us, "!")
elif sus == 3:
print("You win!", us, "-", cs, "!")
elif scs > sus:
print("The computer leads!", cs, "-", us, "!")
elif sus > scs:
print("You lead!", us, "-", cs, "!")
elif sus == scs:
print("The score is tied at", cs, "-", us, "!")
else:
print("That doesnt seem to be a valid input")
i += 1
return i
def guess(random):
if random == 0:
return ("R")
if random == 1:
return ("S")
if random == 2:
return ("P")
def tallyuser(us):
user = [ ]
user.append(us)
tus = 0
for i in user:
tus += i
return tus
def compuser(cs):
comp = [ ]
comp.append(cs)
tcs = 0
for i in comp:
tcs += i
return tcs
thegame()
I can't figure out how to structure the While loop. Also the "score counter function" needs to remain its own piece, just meaning I can't nest that part in where I determine the winner. If that makes sense!
Thank you,
Rachel

Tried my best to keep the essence of your existing code, and not change it too much:

Yes, you can have one game continue from where the previous one left off. The current problem is that you call main recursively. This starts over from the beginning, shuffling a full deck, etc.
Instead, you would want a main program something like this:
def main():
cardDeck = Deck()
print ('Initial Deck: ')
print(cardDeck)
cardDeck.shuffle()
print ('Shuffled Deck: ')
print(cardDeck)
keep_playing = True
while keep_playing:
player = Player()
opponent = Player()
#give each player 2 cards, alternating
cardDeck.dealOne(player)
cardDeck.dealOne(opponent)
cardDeck.dealOne(player)
cardDeck.dealOne(opponent)
print ('Deck after giving 2 cards each')
print (cardDeck)
#show 1 faceup card for each player
showHands(player,opponent)
#start playing
playerTurn(cardDeck,player, opponent)
opponentTurn(cardDeck, opponent, player)
again = raw_input("Do you want to play again? (Y/N) : ")
keep_playing = again in "Yy"
# Reach here after dropping out of the while loop
print "\n\n-------Thank you for playing!--------\n\n"
This gets rid of your message function and the recursive call to main.

See the repl.it for a complete solution:
There are a lot of issues, here are a few of overarching themes:
If you're having to repeat yourself, you're doing it wrong:
aces = False
#IF TWO ACES
if player.hand[0].pip == "A" and player.hand[1].pip == "A":
player.hand[0].pipValue = 1
#check for aces
for i in player.hand:
if i.pip == "A" and i.value == 11:
aces = True
#check if an ace was drawn
for i in player.hand:
if i.pip == "A" and i.value == 11:
aces = True
#check for aces
if aces:
print ('You hold ' + str(player) + 'for a total of ' + str(player.handTotal))
print ("Over 21. Value of ace changed to 1")
#chanlge value of ace and hand
player.handTotal = player.handTotal - 10
for i in player.hand:
if i.pip == "A" and i.value == 11:
i.value = 1
#check for other standard aces
aces = False
for i in player.hand:
if i.pip == "A" and i.value == 11:
aces = True
Each of those is used twice... I replaced it by letting my players hand decide it's own value:
#property
def handTotal(self):
while sum(card.value for card in self.hand) > 21 and \
any(card.pip == 'Ace' and card.value == 11 for card in self.hand):
for card in self.hand:
if card.pip == 'Ace' and card.value == 11:
card.value = 1
break
return sum(card.value for card in self.hand)
The #property decorator forces it to recalculate every time someone asks for the handTotal.
Telling main you want to keep playing
You need to return a value all the way back to main, in some way. Because you already have some global state variables, I added playing = True, then:
def message():
global playing
again = input("Do you want to play again? (Y/N) : ")
if again.lower() == "n":
print("\n\n-------Thank you for playing!--------\n\n")
playing = False
return True # Tells `turn()` the game is over

I know that this is quite a long code, but I will point out the particular area where the error lies. You see, I am getting the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "python", line 106
if (win(the_board,pla) == True):
^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level
More specifically, this part of the code:
while True:
number = player_move(the_board)
if (valid_move(the_board,number) == True) and not(board_full == False):
make_move(the_board,number,pla)
break
else:
print("Invalid Move, try again!")
continue
if (win(the_board,pla) == True):
print ("Yay, you won!!!")
printboard(the_board)
count = 1
break
Any help? I cannot get the code to work by any means!!

Try unindenting the previous seven lines of code by one level (the code in that while loop). This should make the indents work correctly. Also, it seems that there is an extra space before the if statement that is causing you errors. Remove this space as well. This would make that part of the code like this:
while True:
number = player_move(the_board)
if (valid_move(the_board,number) == True) and not(board_full == False):
make_move(the_board,number,pla)
break
else:
print("Invalid Move, try again!")
continue
if (win(the_board,pla) == True):
print ("Yay, you won!!!")
printboard(the_board)
count = 1
break

You need to indent the block under while (True): consistently. E.g.:
while True:
number = player_move(the_board)
if (valid_move(the_board,number) == True) and not(board_full == False):
make_move(the_board,number,pla)
break
else:
print("Invalid Move, try again!")
continue
if (win(the_board,pla) == True):
print ("Yay, you won!!!")
printboard(the_board)
count = 1
break
else:
turn = "comp"
printboard(the_board)
continue

The problem is, the if statement is one indentation back from the rest of the code. You want to align all the code and the error should go away.
while True:
number = player_move(the_board)
if (valid_move(the_board,number) == True) and not(board_full == False):
make_move(the_board,number,pla)
break
else:
print("Invalid Move, try again!")
continue
if (win(the_board,pla) == True):
print ("Yay, you won!!!")
printboard(the_board)
count = 1
break
