Welcome, future RPSLS overlord!
About this Game
The game Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock, often referred to as the RPSLS-Game for short, is just like the old classic "Rock, Paper, Scissors" game, but with a twist: a Lizard and Spock!
You may know this game from the TV sitcom The Big Bang Theory. If you don't, no worries, just keep reading, we've got you covered.
How to Play
Choose one of the five options, Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, or Spock by clicking on the appropriate button.
Simultaniously, the computer's choice will be randomly generated.
Each option can beat or be beaten by two other options based on the game rules.
If you win, 1 point will be added to your score.
If both players, you and the computer, choose the same variable, it's a tie. Even though everybody wins, you will not gain a point.
If you lose, don't panic, you will not lose a point.
When either player reaches 10 points on the scoreboard, the ultimate game champion is declared.
Forget coin flipping, this is how real decisions are made!
