### Rock, Scissors, Paper
|
|
|
|
Remember the game of rock-scissors-paper. You and your opponent make a motion three times with your fists and then either show:
|
|
- a flat hand (paper)
|
|
- fist (rock)
|
|
- two fingers (scissors)
|
|
|
|
Depending upon what is shown, the game is a tie (both show the same) or one person wins. Paper wraps up rock, so it wins. Scissors cut paper, so they win. And rock breaks scissors, so it wins.
|
|
|
|
In this computerized version of rock-scissors-paper, you can play up to ten games vs. the computer.
