RPS or 'Rock, paper, scissors' Brain Train is an intuitive IOS brain trainer built with SwiftUI to enhance users decision making skills and recall. The game portion of RPS Brain Train is based on rock paper scissors against the computer, however the computers' choice is already made evident to the user, along with the prompt to either win, lose or draw. The user must then make a decision based on the information provided, and then click the corresponding item to to achieve this result. There is a timer to add a sense of urgency, and the user is given a score based on how many correct decisions and how long it takes to make them. The score is revealed at the end of the game, after which the user can then choose to play again, or to go back to the main menu.

This SwiftUI code file implements the game logic and UI of a Rock-Paper-Scissors game. The game allows the player to pick between "rock", "paper", or "scissors" and match it with the desired result ("win against", "draw with", or "lose to"). The game will keep track of the score and the number of rounds played, and will end either when the player runs out of time or reaches the maximum number of rounds.
static let itemChoice = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]
static let randomResult = ["win against", "draw with", "lose to"]
static let matchPairs = [
"rock": ["win against": "paper", "draw with": "rock", "lose to":"scissors", "symbol":"mountain.2"],
"paper": ["win against": "scissors", "draw with": "paper", "lose to":"rock", "symbol":"doc"],
"scissors": ["win against": "rock", "draw with": "scissors", "lose to":"paper", "symbol":"scissors"],
]The itemChoice array and the randomResult array hold the options for the player's choice and the desired result, respectively. The matchPairs dictionary maps the possible combinations of choices and desired results to their outcome ("win against", "draw with", or "lose to").
