Rock-Paper-Scissors-through-C

Overview

This is a command-line implementation of the classic Rock, Paper, Scissors game in C. The game allows a user to play against the computer, with randomized computer choices and dynamic scoring.

Features

• Cross-platform compatibility (Windows and Unix-based systems).
• Simple menu-driven gameplay.
• Keeps track of the user's and the computer's scores.
• Dynamic input handling using getch() or a platform-specific implementation.

How to Play

1. Run the program from a terminal or command prompt.
2. Enter:
   • 0 for Rock.
   • 1 for Paper.
   • 2 for Scissors.
   • 9 to exit the game.
3. View the result of each round, including your choice and the computer's choice.
4. At the end of the game, see your final score compared to the computer's.

How to Compile and Run

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Compile the code using GCC or any other C compiler:

   gcc rock_paper_scissors.c -o rock_paper_scissors

3. Run the program:

   ./rock_paper_scissors

Notes for Unix-based Systems (Linux/macOS)

• The program uses a custom implementation of getch() via the termios.h library for character input.
• Ensure that your system supports termios.h.

Example Gameplay

Randomized Computer Choice: The computer's choice is generated using:

srand(time(0));
com_in = rand() % 3;

Error Handling: Invalid input is handled with descriptive error messages:

fprintf(stderr, "An error occurred: %s\n", "Invalid input");

Improvements can be done

• Add a graphical interface or web version.
• Implement additional features like streak tracking or advanced rules.
