OK, I assume from this that you want a multi player game - for rock,paper,scissors I assume multi = 2? - rather than just an interactive game against the computer? > honestly i have no clue where to start with a web app OK, If we are going for a networked game between multiple users you have a choice to run a server centrally with all clients connecting to that or to run on a peer to per basis with the two participating machines forming a direct connection. The latter is easy to program for the game but more complex to set up the initial configuration. A central server makes the game slightly more comlex but setup is easier. I'd probably opt for the server approach but keep it really simple initially. Only allow two connections and simply relay the results. This can all be done using simple sockets (see my network programming topic on my tutor). The sequence will be something like: server awaiting connections client A connects, server gives back (empty) list of other clients client B connects, server notifies all clients of user list client B challenges A (or vice versa) server notifies A that he has been challenged A accepts and server henceforth refuses any more connections server asks players to select a weapon clients send responses server compares responses and sends notification to both cliernts of score repeat for as many turns as desired then report final score open up for more connections client C connects server notifies all clients of new user list client A challenges C repeat as above... Hopefully that's enough to give you somne ideas and get started. Once you get that working you can enhance it to support multiple games at once etc. Keep high scores, league tables etc etc. Also you can introduce security with logins etc. But get the basic game structure working first.
