Overview

This is a Python-based Rock, Paper, Scissors game that supports both single-player (against the computer) and multiplayer modes. Scores are saved locally for future reference, and multiplayer games can be played over a local network.

Features

• Single Player Mode: Play against the computer and have your scores saved locally.
• Multiplayer Mode: Create or join a room to play against another player on the same local network.
• Score Tracking: Scores are saved for both single and multiplayer modes and are loaded upon starting the game.
• Config Files:
  • .config/local_scores.json: Stores local player vs computer scores.
  • .config/multiplayer_scores.json: Stores multiplayer scores.
  • .username.rpc: Stores the player’s username.

How to Play

1. Run the script.
2. Choose between Single Player, Multiplayer, or viewing scores.
3. For single-player, enter your choice (rock, paper, or scissors) to play against the computer.
4. For multiplayer, you can either:
   • Create a room and wait for another player to join.
   • Join an existing room by entering the host's IP address.
5. After each round, scores are updated and saved to the relevant file.
6. You can view your scores by selecting the "Scores" option from the main menu.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Standard Python libraries: random, os, time, json, socket

Multiplayer Notes

• The multiplayer mode works over a network using sockets. One player needs to host the game by providing their local IP address, and the other player connects to that IP.
• Ensure that your firewall allows the necessary port (12345 by default) for connections.
