Design and implement a program that simulates a single volley ball game. In volleyball, only the serving team can score, and if the receiving team win the rally, they gain the serve. Games are played to a score of 15, but must be won by at least 2 points. If the scores are closer, the game can continue indefinitely. Your simulation should prompt the user for the service win probability of each player and loop until the one player wins. Print out the final scores.
can some one help me????

I could be totally wrong on this, and I don't speak for anyone, but I have noticed the following, which I offer in a humble attempt to be helpful.
When something looks (may or may not be) like a homework assignment posted nearly straight out of the book it tends to get very little helpful attention. There is so much knowledge and willingness to help here it would be a shame to miss out. Suggestions, do any of the following... - Form an overall strategy and ask for comments.
- Break it into small tasks, write the code without regard to skill level and post for discussion. (use code tags)
- Ask specific questions regarding specific problems that don't seem to offer ready solution.
- Use terms and concepts that show evidence of having read the docs and learned some python.
i cant get the score up to 15 but it's adding both player's to make 15
can some help -

Hi codie. My friend dshimer is right on point and since you seem to have copied your code directly from here, I'll have to suggest that other experts wait until you have made an honest effort at this problem to help with a solution.
they give this code to the student's to start the assignment it in the python book from john zelle if you look in there is it a racquetball game and we are told to change the code to play as a volley ball game
and way thank and sorry for taking your time
