[!NOTE] ☝️ Learning goals in this issue

• Install the debugger in VS Code (revisit)
• Run to a breakpoint
• Setup variables to watch
• Create issues in GitHub on stuff that needs to be done

Start by setting up a development branch for this issue.

Something isn't quite right with the GPT generated code!

Let's debug!

Don't have a debugger?

Aaargh - you missed it, we set it up previously but here's another approach you can use: - In the extensions, search for `@category:debuggers Python` Install: - Python - Python Debugger Right-click on each of them and from the context menu add them both to the devcontainer.

Add a breakpoint in line #18 of the rps-game.py script Launch the debugger on the python file

Add the following watches

• opponent
• script_hand.name
• args.hand

Now try to answer:

• What hand did the game choose?
• What hand did you chose?
• What hand did you play?

Try to launch the debugger with the launch.json file (You haven't any yet, so the process will create one for your) choose Python Debugger >> Python File with Arguments and type in the argument --hand rock

Now you have a hand ...but it's not always that hand that is played.

Let's keep and share the launch.json file:

git add, commit and deliver to main
