Rock Paper Scissors Rules

• Rock beats Scissors — the rock crushes the scissors.
• Paper beats Rock — the paper covers the rock.
• Scissors beats Paper — the scissors cuts the paper.
• Same choice — it's a draw.

Is the Computer Truly Random?

Yes. The computer uses JavaScript's Math.random() function to independently pick rock, paper, or scissors on every round. Each choice has exactly a 1-in-3 probability, and the computer has no memory of previous rounds — it cannot adapt to your strategy or detect patterns.

This means the game is perfectly fair: over a large number of rounds, all three outcomes (win, lose, draw) should converge toward equal frequency.

Use Cases

• Quick decisions:Can't decide between two options? Let RPS settle it — win means option A, lose means option B.
• Fun and entertainment: Play a few rounds for a quick break during work or school.
• Teaching probability: Use the game to demonstrate that random choices trend toward equal distribution over many rounds.
• Settling disputes: A classic fair method when you need one party to win and one to lose with no bias.
• Warm-up activity: Use in classrooms or team meetings as a quick energizer between activities.
