Rock Paper Scissors Programming Game Prototype

Currently the player plays against a bot that plays at Nash Equilibrium (random at 1/3 frequency for each of the choices). Overtime the player should break even, that is, all the values of win, tie, and loss will converge to the same number.

Next step is to allow the user to code a bot to play against numerous bot opponents.

The goal is to teach the player about Nash Equilibrium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_equilibrium by moving the ranks and understanding what it is not.

Additional things to learn and challenges could be changing the payouts of each choice. In this way, equilibrium is not obvious.
