Why is this not printing in python?

Question

I try to print some simple ascII art but none of of it shows up, what am I doing wrong? I would think this would work because the person has to input something to continue in the first place. All I am trying to do is make a simple game of rock, paper scissors. Also i am on python 3.9.4 if that has anything to do with it.

import random
import time
import ctypes
import os


def Main_Game():
    y = input("Enter choice: ")
    b = random.choice(choices)
    # both put same; draw
    if y == b:
        print("Game ended with a draw!")
        print("Player chose = " + y + "| Bot chose = " + b)
    # player puts rock and bot puts paper; bot wins
    elif y == "rock" and b == "paper":
        print("Bot won the match with paper!")
        print("Player chose = " + y + "| Bot chose = " + b)
    # player puts paper and bot puts rock; player wins
    elif y == "paper" and b == "rock":
        print("Player won the match with paper!")
        print("Player chose = " + y + "  |  Bot chose = " + b)
    # player puts paper and bot puts scissors; bot wins
    elif y == "paper" and b == "scissors":
        print("Bot won the match with scissors!")
        print("Player chose = " + y + "  |  Bot chose = " + b)
    # player puts scissors and bot puts paper; player wins
    elif y == "scissors" and b == "paper":
        print("Player won the match with scissors!")
        print("Player chose = " + y + "  |  Bot chose = " + b)
    # player puts rock and bot puts scissors; player wins
    elif y == "rock" and b == "scissors":
        print("Player won the match with rock!")
        print("Player chose = " + y + "  |  Bot chose = " + b)
    # player puts scissors and bot puts rock; bot wins
    elif y == "scissors" and b == "rock":
        print("Bot won the match with rock!")
        print("Player chose = " + y + "  |  Bot chose = " + b)
    elif y == 'rock':
        print("""

Answer 1

elif only checks its condition if the previous branches were all false, and your branches handle every possible input. You probably meant for the elif y == 'rock' line to be if y == 'rock', so we check the condition no matter the values of the previous conditions.

Answer 2

Silvio's answer solves your immediate problem, but I thought I'd post some suggestions on how to clean up this code a bit.

First off, the ascii art data makes the logic a bit hard to read, I would move these to some const values at the start of the script:

ROCK_ART = """
    _______
---'   ____)
      (_____)
      (_____)
      (____)
---.__(___)
"""
PAPER_ART = """
    _______
---'    ____)____
           ______)
          _______)
         _______)
---.__________)
"""
SCISSORS_ART = """
    _______
---'   ____)____
          ______)
       __________)
      (____)
---.__(___)
"""
VS_ART = """
#     #   #####  
#     #  #     # 
#     #  #       
#     #   #####  
#   #         # 
# #    #     # 
#      #####  
"""

You can define a dictionary for easy lookup of these images.

ART = {
    "rock": ROCK_ART,
    "paper": PAPER_ART,
    "scissors": SCISSORS_ART,
    "vs": VS_ART,
}

Now there's a lot of repeated logic in checking who wins. Imagine if you wanted to program to play "Rock paper scissors lizard spock". Thats a whole lot of choices to check and values to hard code. What if instead we put these rules into a dictionary.

MATCH_UPS = {
    "rock": "scissors",
    "paper": "rock",
    "scissors": "paper",
}

To see who wins a fight you could do if MATCH_UPS[y] == b to see if the user wins. On that note, use more descriptive names for variables or things will get confusing for you fast.

Putting this altogether:

def main_game():
    user_choice = input("Enter choice: ")
    bot_choice = random.choice(list(MATCH_UPS.keys()))

    print(ART[user_choice])
    print(ART["vs"])
    print(ART[bot_choice])
    print(f"Player chose = {user_choice} | Bot chose = {bot_choice}")

    if user_choice == bot_choice:
        print("Game ended with a draw!")
    elif MATCH_UPS[user_choice] == bot_choice:
        print(f"Player won the match with {user_choice}!")
    else:
        print(f"Bot won the match with {bot_choice}!")

    time.sleep(3)
    os.system("cls")
    main_game()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main_game()

Answer 3

You should try to draw the flow diagram of your game. In your code when a player enters a choice, you generate a random choice from the bot and compare it using if and elif, but when a statement matches let's say elif y == 'rock' and b == 'scissors': then the flow would stop as the code only goes through elif statements if the previous ones didn't match so you should change your code by breaking this part

  elif y == "scissors" and b == "rock":
        print("Bot won the match with rock!")
        print("Player chose = " + y + "  |  Bot chose = " + b)
  if y == 'rock':

so that it executes the ASCII print statements as well

Answer 4

It is not

elif y=='rock':

change it to

if y=='rock':

because you want to print the ascii art for the players input, and it does not depend on the system's choice.
