This is a simple version of the classic game "Rock Paper Scissors".

Introduction

Rock - Paper - Scissors is a classic game for two players, who simultaniously chose one of the following weapons:

rock - beats the scissors (smashes them)
scissors - beats thte paper (cuts it)
paper - beats the rock (covers it)

After one or a number of games the player who beated for most of the games wins. In a certain game if both players select the same weapon the game is a DRAW and no points are won!

Gameplay

When you start the game you will receive a prompt:

> Choose [r]ock, [p]aper, [s]cissors [t]est or [Q]uit:

Make your choise like this:

> Choose [r]ock, [p]aper, [s]cissors [t]est or [Q]uit: r

If you chose q the game will end and final result will be presented:

Final score:  
you 17 : 16 computer  
YOU WON THE GAME!

If the input is wrong, a second prompt will appear:
> Please choose again - [r][p][s][t][q]:

Test mode

If you select t at the begining, a test mode is executed

> Select number of tests and command separated by interval [number] [r][p][s]:

This means that you can play a given number of games automatically with a selected weapon (rock, paper or scissors) and see the final result.

Your input should look like this example: 1000 r.
This means that 1000 games will be played with rock as your selection (the computer will select its weapon randomly).
If the input is wrong, a second prompt will appear:
> Please try again - [number] [r][p][s]:

Code

All of the game code is written in Python 3.9. There are a number of methods for selecting text color using escape codes like this:

def pr_red(skk): print(f"\033[91m{skk}\033[00m")
def pr_green(skk): print(f"\033[92m{skk}\033[00m")
def pr_yellow(skk): print(f"\033[93m{skk}\033[00m")

The computer selects its weapon randomly using this method:

import random
def computer_move_selector():
    random_number = random.randint(1, 3)
    cm = ''
    if random_number == 1:
        cm = rock
    elif random_number == 2:
        cm = paper
    elif random_number == 3:
        cm = scissors
    return cm
