Rock Paper Scissors Game

This is one of the first projects I had the pleasure of creating in Java. The Rock Paper Scissors game is a classic hand game played between humans and villain robots. You are pitted against evil robots who seek to destroy the human race. It's a battle for survival. The outcome of the game determines whether humanity can triumph over its robotic adversaries.

Rules of the Game

The rules of the Rock Paper Scissors game remain the same:

• Rock beats scissors
• Scissors beat paper
• Paper beats rock

Features

The Rock Paper Scissors game with villain robots offers the following features:

1. Single Player Mode: Test your skills against a formidable computer-controlled opponent. Each villain robot has unique characteristics and strategies, making the game challenging and engaging.

2. Two Player Mode: Play against friend / foe. Pick your side, align yourself with the new AI overlords or stand as a beacon of hope for humanity?

3. Records and Achievements: The game keeps track of your victories against the villain robots. Check the records to see your progress and unlock special achievements as you conquer each robotic adversary.

4. Strategic Decision-Making: Every choice matters. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of each villain robot and select your moves carefully. Adapt your strategy as you progress through increasingly challenging levels.

Getting Started

To play the Rock Paper Scissors game against the villain robots, simply run the program and follow the on-screen instructions. Choose your game mode (single player or two players) and prepare for an epic battle against the robotic adversaries. Make your choices strategically, outwit the robots, and save humanity from their destructive plans.

Are you ready to take on the challenge and prove that humans can triumph over machines? The fate of the world rests in your hands!

Lessons Learned

I learned about a lot about classes, OOP, and how to properly use the getter and setter methods. This also prepared me for the difficulties of creating a project on a time crunch. During the process of building this project, I gained significant knowledge and experience in several key areas. Firstly, I deepened my understanding of classes and object-oriented programming (OOP) principles. I learned how to design and implement classes effectively, utilizing encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism to create modular and reusable code. Another valuable lesson I learned was how to navigate the challenges of working on a project under time constraints. As I progressed through the development process, I encountered various obstacles that required quick thinking and efficient problem-solving. This experience honed my ability to prioritize tasks, make effective design decisions, and manage my time effectively to meet project requirements. Overall, the project served as an excellent learning opportunity, providing insights into the practical application of classes, OOP principles, and the importance of getter and setter methods.
