Problem With A Rock Paper Scissors Game In Python

Calling all coders, wish you all the best on your respective coding journeys!

I'm currently making a rock, paper, scissors game (traditional, I know) in Python. Everything so far is going so expected, except for one thing. While I was coding, I figured that I should set up a scoring limit for both the player and the CPU, which is 5 (as you will see below) to prevent a semi-infinite loop from occuring. And I did. However, when either the computer's score or the player's score reaches 5, the game doesn't stop, instead it continues to ask the player for his choice (rock, paper, or scissors), even if I had already set up conditions to stop, or break out of, the game after that occurs. Here is the code for reference

# Rock, Paper, Scissors
import random
choices = ("Rock", "Paper", "Scissors")
player_score = 0
computer_score = 0
playing = False
score_limit = 5
play = input("Do you want to play? (y/n): ")
if play in ["y", "yes"]:
playing = True
elif play in ["n", "no"]:
playing = False
else:
raise Exception("Invalid input")
while playing:
player = input("Enter your choice: ")
computer = random.choice(choices)
if player == "Rock":
if computer == "Paper":
print("Computer's choice: {}".format(computer))
computer_score += 1
print("Your score: {}".format(player_score))
print("Computer's score: {}".format(computer_score))
continue
if computer == "Scissors":
print("Computer's choice: {}".format(computer))
player_score += 1
print("Your score: {}".format(player_score))
print("Computer's score: {}".format(computer_score))
continue
elif player == "Paper":
if computer == "Rock":
print("Computer's choice: {}".format(computer))
player_score += 1
print("Your score: {}".format(player_score))
print("Computer's score: {}".format(computer_score))
continue
if computer == "Scissors":
print("Computer's choice: {}".format(computer))
computer_score += 1
print("Your score: {}".format(player_score))
print("Computer's score: {}".format(computer_score))
continue
elif player == "Scissors":
if computer == "Rock":
print("Computer's choice: {}".format(computer))
computer_score += 1
print("Your score: {}".format(player_score))
print("Computer's score: {}".format(computer_score))
continue
if computer == "Paper":
print("Computer's choice: {}".format(computer))
player_score += 1
print("Your score: {}".format(player_score))
print("Computer's score: {}".format(computer_score))
continue
if player == computer:
print("Computer's choice: {}".format(computer))
print("Your score: {}".format(player_score))
print("Computer's score: {}".format(computer_score))
continue
elif player not in choices:
raise Exception("Invalid input.")
if player_score == score_limit or computer_score == score_limit:
print("Game ended")
break

The code is never reached because you use continue after every possibility. You can fix this by removing them and replacing your consecutive if statements with elif.

example:

while playing:
player = input("Enter your choice: ")
computer = random.choice(choices)
if player == "Rock":
if computer == "Paper":
print("Computer's choice: {}".format(computer))
computer_score += 1
print("Your score: {}".format(player_score))
print("Computer's score: {}".format(computer_score))
elif computer == "Scissors":
print("Computer's choice: {}".format(computer))
player_score += 1
print("Your score: {}".format(player_score))
print("Computer's score: {}".format(computer_score))
elif player == "Paper":
if computer == "Rock":
print("Computer's choice: {}".format(computer))
player_score += 1
print("Your score: {}".format(player_score))
print("Computer's score: {}".format(computer_score))
elif computer == "Scissors":
print("Computer's choice: {}".format(computer))
computer_score += 1
print("Your score: {}".format(player_score))
print("Computer's score: {}".format(computer_score))

You already have a direct answer to your question. However, you might find the following refactored version of your code to be helpful. In particular, I've reorganized the while loop's logic so that you're not giving instructions redundantly.

import random
def judge(player, computer):
wins = [("Rock","Scissors"),
("Scissors","Paper"),
("Paper","Rock")]
if player == computer:
return "tie"
if (player,computer) in wins:
return "win"
return "lose"
choices = ("Rock", "Paper", "Scissors")
player_score = 0
computer_score = 0
playing = False
score_limit = 5
play = input("Do you want to play? (y/n): ")
if play in ["y", "yes"]:
playing = True
elif play in ["n", "no"]:
playing = False
else:
raise Exception("Invalid input")
while playing:
player = input("Enter your choice: ")
if player not in choices:
raise Exception("Invalid input.")
computer = random.choice(choices)
print(f"Computer's choice: {computer}")
outcome = judge(player, computer)
if outcome == "win":
player_score += 1
elif outcome == "lose":
computer_score += 1
print(f"Your score: {player_score}")
print(f"Computer's score: {computer_score}\n")
if score_limit in [player_score, computer_score]:
print("Game ended")
break
