Python - Multiple line printed image not displaying correctly issues
<p>I am having some issues with displaying images for Rock - Paper - Scissors. I'm very new to python (3 weeks) and I am trying to print a multiple line 'image'.<br>
Please excuse my terrible art!</p>

<pre><code>import random

def Display_Rock():
    print ("""\n
   _---___
  / .#.... \
 / .$../\.. \
 |_________/
""")

def Display_Paper():
    print ("""\n
 __________
|~~~~~~~~~~|
|~~~~~~~~~~|
|~~~~~~~~~~|
|~~~~~~~~~~|
|~~~~~~~~~~|  
|~~~~~~~~~~| 
|__________|
""")

def Display_Scissors():
    print ("""\n

    _----_
   / /--\ \     
  |  \__/  \_________________
   \____                     \
    /       ------------------\
   /  /--\  _________________/
   |  \__/  /
    \-____-/          
 """)
 Display_Rock()
 Display_Scissors()
 Display_Paper()
</code></pre>

<p>This displays the following - </p>

<pre><code>   _---___
 / .#.... / .$../\.. |_________/




         ----_
       / /--\ \     
      |  \__/  \_________________
       \____                       /       ------------------ / /--\   
      _________________/            
      |  \__/  /
       \-____-/          



       __________
      |~~~~~~~~~~|
      |~~~~~~~~~~|
      |~~~~~~~~~~|
      |~~~~~~~~~~|
      |~~~~~~~~~~|  
      |~~~~~~~~~~| 
      |__________|
</code></pre>

<p>Thank you for reading and for any comments in advance!</p>

<p>While the others are correct, you can also escape the <code>\</code> so that it is not treated specially by adding another <code>\</code>:    </p>

<pre><code>print ("""\n

    _----_
   / /--\ \\     
  |  \__/  \_________________
   \____                     \\
    /       ------------------\\
   /  /--\  _________________/
   |  \__/  /
    \-____-/          
""")
</code></pre>

<p>In future Python versions the <code>\</code> cannot be used unescaped, so starting from 3.6 a warning will be emitted for <code>\_</code>, <code>\-</code> and <code>\</code>, so from there on you must always use <code>\\</code> to mean <code>\</code>; alternatively you can use the <code>r''</code> raw strings; though then you cannot use <code>\n</code> for newline.</p>
