This is a project to test basic javascript knowledge by building a command line based rock paper scissors game.

Plan: Create a rock paper scissors game vs a computer player. Computer player will randomly choose its' move each round. The game will go for five rounds and keep a score count for both players. A winner will be displayed after round 5. Prompt user if they want to reset the game to play again at the end of the final round.

Needed inputs: 3 Move types [Rock, paper, and scissor], Computers choice of move, Humans choice of move using a prompt, score data - human and computer, Score is calculated by winner per round. 5 Total rounds

Desired Output: Score is calculated each round and tracked separately for human score and computer score. Game ends at 5 rounds. Winner is declared at end of game.

Pseudocode:

#SETUP Moves Store move for computer player and human computer as a string variable Store a string variable for computers move choice

#SETUP Computer Move Selection Randomly generate computers move selection from the three options

#SETUP User Move Selection Store string variable for humans move choice using prompt that asks for 1 of 3 move types 'rock', 'paper', and 'scissor'. Enter R for Rock, Enter P for Paper, Enter S for scissor

#SETUP Move Authentication Check Check that the move entered by human is valid move and if not prompt again until valid move has been entered

#SETUP Method comparing move choice inputs for human vs computer, output winner of round Create logic accounting for all possible move outcomes for both players (Tie, Loss, and Win scenarios)

#SETUP Scorekeeping Syste When Human wins store human score in integer variable starting at 0, increment by 1 for each win. When Computer wins store computer score in integer variable starting at 0 for the computer score, increment by 1 for each win

#SETUP Roundkeeping system Count the round number at an integer variable starting at 0 At end of round display all scores and the new round number EXCEPT after final round display "Final Round" as round number Assign score to winner Stop the game after round five

#SETUP Final outcome message Display final round score to user and message based on victory loss or tie

#SETUP Game restart prompt Display prompt to user asking if they would like to restart the game
