Rock Paper Scissors

This page uses vanilla Java to implement a Rock Paper Scissor game.

Basic Information

• Two players can play as many games as they wish and the app will track the number of games won by each player.
• One player can play against the computer.
• If players elect not to play another game, the Main Menu is returned.
• The game tacks each round and write it to a history file.
• On exit, the match stats are also written to the file.

Design Approach

My aim is to build this game app in an Object Oriented way. Currently, each player is represented by a Player object. The computer makes its move through a method called on its object. Game mechanics and stats are held the Game object.

Installation

Open the project in a Java IDE like IntelliJ, and it should build with Java 12.

Picking a Winner

RPS is really simple. Therefore, I just used nested IF statements

The Automated Player

The game just picks a random move from an array.

Things to Do in the Future

• History currently just opens in notepad. I'll move this to an internal implementation.
