You vs. Computer!

8/3/2011

This interactive game demonstrates how computers can 'learn.'

Play the game with the computer on 'Novice' mode to have the computer learn how to play rock, paper, scissors from scratch.

Then, play the game on 'veteran' mode, to allow the computer to search a database of past experiences and use that knowledge against you.

Play 15 rounds in each and report your score in the comments section!

In the Novice, we have 9 ties, I had 1 win and the computer had 5. I was surprised that I had so many ties with the computer. It was weird I thought he was copying me.
I WON in the veteran round. I had 5 wins, there were 7 ties, and the computer got 3 wins.
