Rock Paper Scissors against a computer sounds simple, and it is. But there is something genuinely satisfying about going on a long winning streak or trying to outthink a random opponent. This version plays Best of 3, Best of 5, or unlimited rounds. The result is decided the moment you click, so there is no strategy in timing and no way to cheat.
Frequently Asked Questions
The computer picks rock, paper, or scissors at random each round using Math.random(). There is no pattern, no adaptive strategy, and no memory of your previous moves. Every round is a completely fresh and independent pick.
Best of 3 ends when one side wins 2 rounds. Best of 5 ends at 3 wins. Unlimited keeps going until you click Play Again or close the game. All three modes track your wins, losses, and draws in the score panel above the choices.
No. The computer's pick is made at the same time as yours using a single random number. The result is decided in milliseconds and the same logic applies regardless of what you chose. There is no way for the system to look at your choice before making its own.

Not in the current setup. It is a single player vs computer game. For two real players, the classic way still works best: hold your hand and reveal on three.
No. Scores are session-only and reset when you refresh the page or start a new game. Each time you open the page you start fresh.
