About The Project

This is a command-line interface program that demonstrates the simplicity and capability of multithreading/concurrency techniques in the Java language. It allows any computer to simulate and play the game of Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock against itself.

This program uses multiple threads and the principles of OOP to simulate "simultaneous play", as would occur in a real-life game of Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock.

It features two separate simulated AI players (each running on a separate thread) which each decide on a random move to play, before counting down and throwing their move independently of each other.

Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock for more information on the game itself.

Built With

• Java

Features

• Use of multithreading/concurrency to allow for simultaneous play
• Demonstration of Java OOP features and principles, as well as enumerated types, switch statements, and package management
• Command line output and statistics being held in a primary (separate from the players) thread provides ample opportunity for GUI overlay and statistics generation
• Calculation of each player's moves separately, including the option to set the random seed for each player (via manipulation of source code)
