Welcome to Rock Paper Scissors.
This game is quite simple. Proceed to the installation page for more instructions.
Game Mechanics
The code is written to support several Game Objects (GOs) that interact with each other in a way that resembles Rock Paper Scissors.
Right now, three GOs are available to play Rock Paper Scissors.
The main program file is a series of loops that keep the game running.
Game Rules - Score Calculation
The score calculation system is rather simple; Each player starts out with 20 points.
Each loss deducts x points from the player; The current game multiplier (hardcoded to 2) is multiplier by 6 and then it's result is subtracted from your score:
score - (multiplier * 6)
Each win, your score is multiplied by the current multiplier: score * multiplier.
After 1000 positive points you start getting more lives.
Too long with negative points, you start losing lives.
The game ends when any of the players' lives reaches 0.
Computer Choices
The CPU plays in a purely random fashion; It uses a random number using PHP's mt_rand() function, that uses CryptGenRandom() from the Windows API or /dev/urandom for some Linux systems.
