throwdown

rock paper scissors lizard spock for Erlang

Build

This application was written and tested on OTP 20. It uses maps which were introduced in OTP 17, so it ought to work in any OTP release that supports maps.

It has no dependencies.

Use rebar3 to compile the code:

$ rebar3 compile

Run

You can start the application by using rebar3:

$ rebar3 shell --apps throwdown

Once you're at the Erlang shell prompt, you can start a new game session like this:

1> throwdown:start_game([<<"player1">>, <<"player2">>, ..., <<"playerN">>]).

Once you get above four or five players, usually games end in every player losing.
