Rock Paper Scissors JavaScript Game
Today we going to develop Rock Paper Scissors JavaScript game. I decided to share my code with you. So let’s make Rock Paper Scissors Game in JavaScript.
What we are gonna do?
In this game, the computer and user are the players. User just needs to press Rock, Paper, and Scissors button. Computer also generates their choice while the user presses the button. Every time when the user presses the button, one function call made to check the condition for winning. According to the condition, the score counter will increase. This game is infinite.
Let’s Code the Rock Paper Scissors Game in JavaScript
Here I’m using bootstrap for UI purpose. You can also use your CSS but today we just focus on the logic of rock paper scissors javascript.
