I want pause() to print three times before the rest of the rock, paper, scissors game, y'know, for suspense. Does anyone know of a solution to this?

Many thanks in advance :)

import random
import time

choices = ['rock', 'paper', 'scissors']
result1 = random.choice(choices)
result2 = random.choice(choices)

print('player one has chosen '   result1)
print('player two has chosen '   result2)

def pause(): #To make it super suspenseful.
    time.sleep(1)
    print('.')

for _ in range(3):
    pause()
    
if result1 == result2:
    print('draw!')
    if result1 == choices[0]: #Rock
        if result2 == choices[1]: #Paper
            print('player two wins!')
        elif result2 == choices[2]: #Scissors
            print('player one wins!') 
    elif result1 == choices[1]: #Paper
        if result2 == choices[0]: #Rock
            print('player one wins!')
        elif result2 == choices[2]: #Scissors
            print('player two wins!')
    elif result1 == choices[2]: #Scissors
        if result2 == choices[0]: #Rock
            print('player two wins!')
        elif result2 == choices[1]: #Paper
            print('player one wins')

Your code for the pause works as intended, you have unneeded indentions in your elifs (this was causing your game to not output anything after the suspenseful 3 dots if the game was not a draw):

if result1 == result2:
    print('draw!')

# removed unneeded indentions from lines after here:
if result1 == choices[0]: #Rock
    if result2 == choices[1]: #Paper
        print('player two wins!')
    elif result2 == choices[2]: #Scissors
        print('player one wins!') 
elif result1 == choices[1]: #Paper
    if result2 == choices[0]: #Rock
        print('player one wins!')
    elif result2 == choices[2]: #Scissors
        print('player two wins!')
elif result1 == choices[2]: #Scissors
    if result2 == choices[0]: #Rock
        print('player two wins!')
    elif result2 == choices[1]: #Paper
        print('player one wins')

I removed one layer of indents from your code after your print('draw') so that it runs in the case of a draw not occurring. Making these changes should allow your game to work in all scenarios

I have just realised that the dots were actually in the right place. Sorry and thank you for the answer.
