This application is a Rock Paper Scissors game written in C++. I created this project as a fun addition to my coding portfolio. Everyone remembers playing Rock Paper Scissors as a fun game growing up. This program brings this childhood game to your computer so you can play it alone against a computer or with friends! Attached to this repository is the source code for this game. You can download it and run it with any C++ compiler and you will be able to play the game in your terminal.

- Customizable game settings
- Illustrations to show each player's moves
This Rock Paper Scissors game contains a text-based user interface (UI). Upon loading up the game, users are greeted with a welcome screen and asked which mode they would like to play. You can choose any of the following three options: 1) Single Player, 2) 2-Player, 3) Exit. To continue, enter the corresponding number for your decision.
Selecting either option 1 or 2 will bring you to another welcome screen that will prompt you to enter how many games you would like to play the best of. It informs the players that any even numbers will be rounded up to require a simple majority of the games to be won to claim victory.
After proceeding, the user can begin to play the game! If they are playing single-player mode, they decide by picking rock, paper, or scissors. As they pick, the computer makes its choice. Players can see what round they are playing and the score of the current game. When the user makes his or her choice, he or she is shown what decision the computer made, and a graphic is played depicting it. The two-player mode is similar to single-player, but after the first player makes a decision, the screen clears. This ensures that Player 2 will not see Player 1's move.
When the game has finished, players are presented with the final score and shown who won the game.
This screen will display for 5 seconds until it is redirected back to the main menu. Users are now back to where they started when they first opened the application. They can choose to play again or exit the app. Choosing to exit will close the game and leave your computer where it was before you opened Rock Paper Scissors. Now that you have learned some of the features of this game, download and enjoy this childhood classic!
