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++

We have learned how to create a basic Rock Paper Scissors game. Now, the next step is to move forward with upgrading this existing game.

# How to upgrade this game

We can add different features in this game to make it more interesting.

To make the game even more interesting and customized to the user's preferences, you can add new hand gestures such as "Spock" or "Lizard" or a scoring system that gives bonus points for winning with a certain gesture, for example.

# Implementing the code

Let's try and upgrade the game by adding two new symbols. Let's implement a game where we have a total of five symbols and new rules.
