/* CSCI 200: Assignment 1 (Rock Paper Scissors): Tyler Beckman
 *
 * Author: Tyler Beckman
 *
 * Description:
 * A C++ program to play rock paper scissors (lizard spock) against
 * randomly-generated computer hands. A hand can be entered to start, and is
 * then compared against a random one. The game can then be played again until
 * the user chooses to stop. After each round, statistics are gathered and
 * displayed after the user chooses to exit the game.
 *
 * Note on project structure:
 * Just for fun and to get ahead on learning cpp, I did create my RPS using
 * classes, inheritance, and polymorphism. I have experience with this in
 * multiple other languages, so I felt it would be fun to use this as an excuse
 * to learn how the concepts work in cpp. I apologize if this is more
 * complicated than we were supposed to make it, but it was fun and it should
 * still be a perfectly functional and point-scoring program :)
 *
 * Academic integrity:
 * 1. Because I did go overboard on making an object-oriented program when we
 * haven't even learned how classes yet, I did use a lot of online cpp syntax
 * reference and explainers to learn how classes and inheritance work in cpp.
 * This includes mainly cppreference.com, but also geeksforgeeks.org and
 * tutorialspoint to figure out the basics. Nowhere did I actually copy the
 * exact structures, I simply used it to figure out how to do what I wanted and
 * what I knew how to do in other languages such as Java and JavaScript (have a
 * "which one wins" function on each sibling class of "Hand"). I am not entirely
 * sure if this needs cited, but given we have learned none of this yet, I just
 * wanted to clarify that this is all my code - not copied from the internet,
 * ChatGPT, Copilot, or anything else other than my code.
 * 2. Also since I was making a program with structures that I hadn't quite
 * learned in this language yet, I did ask Max[TODO FILL IN NAME] (someone with
 * experience in cpp) for debugging assistance when concepts I was used to in
 * other languages didn't work well in cpp. For example, I wasn't used to class
 * definitions and function bodies being separate, so he helped me figure out
 * the correct structure there so I could properly reference sibling classes in
 * methods on the parent class.
