This course builds a classic Rock Paper Scissors game in C++ using a modular programming method for a beginner-level coder

After learning the basics of C++, it’s a great idea to complete at least one hands-on project where you can build something from scratch using C++. This course offers the opportunity to build a basic but classic Rock Paper Scissors game, command-line style.

You’ll begin the course by looking at the end product and then building the game step-by-step, adding one tiny feature in each lesson. This way, you’ll add one or two helper functions to the codebase and then test them individually in the main controller function. Because of this modular approach, you’ll finish coding the game efficiently and professionally.

By the end of the course, you’ll have one complete hands-on project in C++ added to your profile. That’s a great start!

Mini Course: Build Rock Paper Scissors with C++

# What we have

We have the breakdown of the game, so let’s go through the first thing we saw in the game. When the game starts, it introduces the game and lists the rules. 

# What now?

Let’s create a function that prints the welcome message and game rules.

- First, initialize a `void` function to print the introduction.
- Print all the rules of the game.

# Try it yourself

Write your code in the code widget below and click the “Run” button to execute your code. 

**Sample output**

```txt
Welcome to the Rock Paper Scissors game!

The rules of the game are simple:
1. Rock beats scissors
2. Scissors beats paper
3. Paper beats rock
```
