Rock Paper Scissors Game

“Rock Paper Scissors” is a hand game played by two or more people.

The game is often used as a selection method in a way similar to coin flipping, drawing straws, or throwing dice. However, unlike truly random selection methods, rock-paper-scissors can be played with a degree of skill, especially if the game extends over many sessions with the same players; it is often possible to recognize and exploit the non-random behavior of an opponent.

The objective is to select a gesture which defeats that of the opponent. Gestures are resolved as follows:

• Rock blunts or breaks scissors: that is, rock defeats scissors
• Scissors cut paper: scissors defeats paper
• Paper covers, sands or captures rock: paper defeats rock

If both players choose the same gesture, the game is tied and the players throw again. [Source Wikipedia.org]

Now here is a chance for you to play this wonderful game against the computer.  There are two skill levels – Novice and Veteran.  A Novice computer does not have previous experience and learns to play solely on your tendencies. However, if you choose the veteran, then the computer will make use of data gathered from thousands of games vs other people while analyzing its move.
