Rock-Paper-Scissors: You vs. the Computer
Computers mimic human reasoning by building on simple rules and
statistical averages. Test your strategy against the computer in this
rock-paper-scissors game illustrating basic artificial intelligence.
Choose from two different modes: novice, where the computer learns to
play from scratch, and veteran, where the computer pits over 200,000
rounds of previous experience against you.

Note: A truly random game of
rock-paper-scissors would result in a statistical tie with each player
winning, tying and losing one-third of the time. However, people are
not truly random and thus can be studied and analyzed. While this
computer won't win all rounds, over time it can exploit a person's
tendencies and patterns to gain an advantage over its opponent. — Gabriel Dance & Tom Jackson | The New York Times
