/* Here is where I'm very confused:
The assignment was to have the game allow the user and computer to pick again,
but I cannot, for the life of me, figure our how to do it. At this point in the tutorials,
we have only used if/else if/else statements.
I tried:
return choice1 = prompt ("It's a tie guess again!")
But that just created an infinite loop. Should I create another function within
a function, or is there a way to just tell the original function to run again?
