I have three options

WIN

LOSE

TIE

I want to make a score system, so the first one to 5 points wins the game!

How do i do this?

At the end of a round i put win lose or tie... so i want it so that after it says you have x points and computer has y points.

Presumably your game is in a loop. So you need to exit the loop when the player's score is greater than 5, or when the computer's score is greater than 5.

if the player's score is 5 and the computer's score is 5 then put tie. if the player's score is 5, put win. If the computer's score is 5, put lose. Then put "you have {player's score} points and computer has {computer's score} points.

Your question translates almost word for word into code. It's an extremely basic application of if statements and the exit when statement.

You can just make it equal itself plus one.

foo := foo + 1

Doesn't make sense in math notation, but in programming it's just fine. This operation so common that Turing (and most other languages) built in the += operator, so
code:

foo := foo + 1
%is the same as
foo += 1


It's that easy.
