[Katelyn O'Malley]

Hi I am just getting into python and I am trying to create a rock paper
scissor lizard spock game for 3 people and I cannot figure out the scoring
of the players I attached the code below, any help/ideas is much
appreciated.

import random

number_of_games = 3

print("Player 1 please choose rock , paper , scissors , lizard, or spock
(in lower case please)")
choice1 = input("What do you choose?  ")
player1_choice = str(choice1)
print("Player 2 please choose rock , paper , scissors , lizard, or spock
(in lower case please)")
choice2 = input("What do you choose?  ")
player2_choice = str(choice2)
print("Player 3 please choose rock , paper , scissors , lizard, or spock
(in lower case please)")
choice3 = input("What do you choose?  ")
player3_choice = str(choice3)
def name_to_number(name):
    if name == "rock":
        name = 0
        return name
    elif name == "spock":
        name = 1
        return name
    elif name == "paper":
        name = 2
        return name
    elif name == "lizard":
        name = 3
        return name
    elif name == "scissors":
        name = 4
        return name

def number_to_name(number):
    if number == 0:
        number = "rock"
        return number
    elif number == 1:
        number = "spock"
        return number
    elif number == 2:
        number = "paper"
        return number
    elif number == 3:
        number = "lizard"
        return number
    elif number == 4:
        number = "scissors"
        return number

player1_number = name_to_number(choice1)
