La Brava Logs: The Rock Paper Scissors SHINOBI GAME

The article discusses a creative project called "The Rock Paper Scissors SHINOBI GAME," which the author describes as their personal vision and a departure from standard tutorials. They emphasize the joy of coding and creating something meaningful rather than following instructions mindlessly.

The project involves coding a game with the rules of Rock Paper Scissors, but with a ninja theme and additional moves called Rokku (Rock), Kami (Paper), and Hasami (Scissors). The author explains their thought process of how the hand signs for these moves reminded them of the hand movements in the Naruto anime series, which sparked their idea to make the game more than just an ordinary version of Rock Paper Scissors.

The article outlines the pseudo-code for the game, which includes setting up choices, initializing score variables, generating a random computer choice, evaluating rounds, checking for match outcomes, and handling main event listeners triggered by user clicks on the game buttons. The author details how the game tracks scores up to a maximum of 5 points and includes win/lose conditions that freeze the game when a player reaches the maximum score.

The author also reflects on the challenges they faced, such as battling anxiety and figuring out the logic behind the game, and how they used an epiphany while understanding the origins of the game's rules to drive their creative process. They mention using a Git repository to capture their development process but note that they might reconsider using AI as a note dump for future projects due to potential loss of earlier thoughts.
