This Rock Paper Scissors game is a web-based application developed as part of freeCodeCamp’s JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures certification. It demonstrates fundamental JavaScript skills and showcases the ability to create interactive, logic-driven web applications.
Project Overview
The game allows users to play the classic Rock Paper Scissors against a computer opponent. It features a simple yet functional interface, highlighting core JavaScript concepts such as event handling, randomization, and game logic implementation.
Key Features
- User-friendly interface for selecting Rock, Paper, or Scissors
- Computer opponent with randomized choices
- Immediate feedback on game outcomes
- Score tracking for multiple rounds
Technical Highlights
- Implemented entirely in JavaScript, focusing on DOM manipulation
- Utilizes random number generation for computer moves
- Employs conditional logic to determine game outcomes
- Demonstrates event-driven programming techniques
Development Challenges
As a developer with visual impairments, creating this game presented unique challenges:
- Structuring the game logic in a clear, manageable way
- Implementing user interactions and dynamic content updates
- Ensuring the game was both functional and accessible
Despite finding JavaScript challenging, this project significantly improved my understanding of core programming concepts and interactive web development. It served as a valuable learning experience in creating engaging, logic-based applications.
Future Enhancements
I plan to further develop this project by adding features such as:
- Enhanced UI with animations
- Sound effects for game actions
- A best-of-three or best-of-five game mode
- Improved accessibility features
