Assignment 6 - Rock, Paper, Scissors

Due Monday, March 24, 11:59pm

Note, Professor's office hours are cancelled on 3/24 so try to finish the assignment by 3/21.

For this assignment, you will create a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. If you have never played the game, try your luck here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/science/rock-paper-scissors.html?_r=0

Your game will work as follows:

The user interface will allow the user to select Rock, Paper, or Scissors. You may do this however you like, but a suggested option is to use three buttons with images to represent the three choices. Once the user has made a selection, visibly show which item was selected, for example by changing the color of the chosen option.

When the user makes his/her choice (button is clicked), your program will make a random choice between Rock, Paper, and Scissors to represent the computer's pick. You will use the random integer block from the Math drawer to choose a random number 1, 2, or 3 where 1 represents Rock, 2 represents Paper, and 3 represents Scissors.

Finally, you will use an if block to compare the user choice and the computer choice and display the result in a Label. The rules are as follows:

• Rock beats Scissors
• Paper beats Rock
• Scissors beat Paper

Your grade will be based on the following:

• (5 points) Allows user to select a choice
• (10 points) Selects random integer to represent computer choice
• (5 points) Displays user and computer choices
• (15 points) Uses if block to determine (correct) winner
• (5 points) Displays winner
• (5 points) Visual design
• (5 points) One additional feature chosen from the following:
  • Create an energy-themed version of the game
  • Use a second screen to allow the user to enter to specify a profile (e.g., entering his/her name)
  • Provide a "Play Again" button that clears the choices and allows the user to play again. Keep track of the number of wins, losses, and ties.
• Up to 5 extra credit points may be awarded for completion of more than one additional feature.
