/* CSCI 200: Assignment 1 (Rock Paper Scissors): Tyler Beckman * * Author: Tyler Beckman * Resources used: * While learning how to use classes & polymorphism in the way I wanted to, * student Maxwell Gross helped me debug why the way I was trying to use classes * didn't work (virtual fields not existing, where I needed to put class * definitions vs method definitions, etc). No code was copied or written for * me, he just helped me understand how all of these structures I was used to in * other langs like Java and JS worked in cpp :) * * 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 :). To clarify, I * didn't copy any code but I did use multiple online tutorials and references * to learn how classes and the such work in cpp. * * Edits since first submission: * I passed the mt19937 and uniform distribution variables as arguments by * reference to the generateRandom function, to avoid unnecessary re-creation of * the Mersenne Twister. */ #include "hands.h" #include #include #include #include int main(void) { int wins = 0; int losses = 0; int ties = 0; std::mt19937 mt(std::chrono::steady_clock::now().time_since_epoch().count()); std::uniform_int_distribution intDist(0, 4); while (true) { // Take a letter input and convert it to the correct class type for // later use char handLetter; std::cout << "Welcome to a round of [R]ock [P]aper [S]cissors [L]izard " "Sp[O]ck!
