How to make Python continue with a game after while loop or if statement - if-statement

Question

I’m trying to get my game to continue to the games after a user inputs “yes” or “no”. Here is the code:
user_name =input ("What is your name? ")
user = user_name
print(f"Welcome {user}!")
user_ans = ''
while True:
user_ans = input("Are you ready to play ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS? (yes or no?) ")
if user_ans.lower() == 'yes':
print("Alright, Let's play!")
continue
elif user_ans.lower() == 'no':
print('Not ready to play? Okay, see ya later!')
exit()
else:
print('Type yes or no')
if user_ans.lower() == 'yes':
def get_choices(): #get_choices is a function
player_choice = input("Enter a choice (rock, paper, scissors): ")
options = ['rock', 'paper', 'scissors']
computer_choice = random.choice(options)
choices = {"player":player_choice, "computer":computer_choice}
return choices
def check_win(player, computer ):
print(f"You chose {player}, computer chose {computer}.")
if player == computer:
return "It's a tie!"
#if player chooses "ROCK"
elif player == "rock":
if computer == "scissors":
return "Rock smashes scissors! You win!"
The main part I need help with is yes or no part. The loop works except for the fact that it won’t continue to the game after that.
I initially tried using an if/else statement but I’d didn’t work well. I’ve only made progress with the while loop.

Answer 1

You can do that way:
import random
user_name = input("What is your name? ")
user = user_name
print(f"Welcome {user}!")
user_ans = ''
while True:
user_ans = input("Are you ready to play ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS? (yes or no?) ")
if user_ans.lower() == 'yes':
print("Alright, Let's play!")
break
elif user_ans.lower() == 'no':
print('Not ready to play? Okay, see ya later!')
exit()
else:
print('Type yes or no')
def get_choices():
player_choice = input("Enter a choice (rock, paper, scissors): ")
options = ['rock', 'paper', 'scissors']
computer_choice = random.choice(options)
choices = {"player": player_choice, "computer": computer_choice}
return choices
def check_win(player, computer):
print(f"You chose {player}, computer chose {computer}.")
if player == computer:
return "It's a tie!"
elif player == "rock":
if computer == "scissors":
return "Rock smashes scissors! You win!"
else:
return "Paper covers rock! You lose!"
elif player == "paper":
if computer == "rock":
return "Paper covers rock! You win!"
else:
return "Scissors cut paper! You lose!"
elif player == "scissors":
if computer == "paper":
return "Scissors cut paper! You win!"
else:
return "Rock smashes scissors! You lose!"
else:
return "Invalid input. Please try again."
while True:
choices = get_choices()
result = check_win(choices["player"], choices["computer"])
print(result)
play_again = input("Do you want to play again? (yes or no) ")
if play_again.lower() == "no":
print("Thanks for playing!")
break
