This document provides instructions for Assignment 4 of the CSC 210 Intro to Computer Programming course. Students are asked to write a program that plays the rock-paper-scissors game between a user and computer. The program must randomly generate the computer's choice, prompt the user for a selection, and determine a winner or draw based on the choices. It will be graded on valid user input handling, correct winner determination, output messaging, and documentation. Up to 5 extra credit points are available for modifying the program to play best-of-three games. Students must submit a Java source file called Rps.java to complete the assignment.

Assignment Four
Assigned : Monday, September 21st, 2015
Due : Monday, September 28th, 2015 @ midnight
PLEASE name your project RPS
Total Points: 40
1. Program One
Description:
Write a program that plays the popular rock-paper-scissor game. If you dont
know the rules, please look them up. The program will randomly generate a
number between 0 and 2, inclusive, representing scissor, rock, and paper for the
computer player. Then, the program will prompt the user player to enter a number
between 0 and 2, inclusive.
Example Output:
scissor (0), rock (1), paper (2): 1
The computer is scissor. You are rock. You won.
scissor (0), rock (1), paper (2): 2
The computer is paper. You are paper too. Game is a draw.
Steps:
1. Prompt the user for a number between 0 and 2. Where scissor(0), rock
(1), and paper (2). Make sure user input is valid!
2. Generate a random number for the computer player. You will be using
the Random class to generate a random number. To declare a random object
use the following syntax:
Random rnd = new Random(); //Declares and initializes a Random
Object
int num = rnd.nextInt(3); //Generates a number between 0 and 2

3. Once you have the users selected value and the computers randomly
generated value, properly implement decision making in your code that determines the correct winner or if the game is a draw.
4. Display who is the winner or display if the game is a draw.

Grading Rubric
(15 points) Does the program correctly read user input. This includes :
Only accepting valid values. (i.e. 0, 1, 2 ), and excludes everything else.
In the case of invalid input, does the program let the user know? It is OK
if your program exits when it detects invalid input given that you display
a good message explaining why the program is exiting.
(7 points) Does the program correctly determine winners based on users
input and computers randomly generated number?
(8 points) Does the program display to the user who wins or loses or if the
game is a draw.
(10 points) Is the program well documented. A well documented program
includes good variables names and commenting of non-obvious code.
(5 POINTS EXTRA CREDIT) Modify your program to run rock-paperscissors in a best of 3 format, i.e. first player to win 2 out of 3 games wins.
This must be done with 1 execution of the program. Running the program 3
times does not count.
Submission:
Submit a java source file named Rps.java to ilearn in the Assignment 4 section.
FAILURE TO SUBMIT A JAVA SOURCE FILE WILL SEVERELY
HURT YOUR GRADE
