Let’s play rock, paper scissors.

You think of your move and I’ll make mine below this line in 1…2…and 3.

I choose ROCK.

Well? …who won. It doesn’t matter cause you probably glanced at the word “ROCK” before thinking about a move or maybe you didn’t pay any heed to my feeble attempt at playing rock, paper, scissor with you in a blog post.

So why am I making some miserable attempts trying to play this game in text with you?

Let’s just say, a couple of months down the road in lockdown you just run out of fun ideas. To be honest I desperately need to socialize and do something fun. 

Ideally, I would love to play games with some good friends, …or just friends…or anyone who is willing to play.

Now I’m tired of video games. I want to go for something old fashioned, like something involving other intelligent beings, ideally a human. But because of the lockdown, we’re a bit short on those for close proximity activities. So what’s the next best thing?

AI of course. So yeah why not build an AI that would play with me whenever I want.

Now I don’t want to make a dumb AI bot that predicts randomly between rock, paper, and scissor, but rather I also don’t want to use any keyboard inputs or mouse. Just want to play the old fashioned way.
