I was trying to teach myself how some things worked and I finally figured it out! I created this simple RPS game while doing so. I plan on releasing an updated version in the future with one or two extra games in there, like maybe craps, and such.

What RPS does:
Keeps track of the player choices, and wins and losses.
If the player favors a specific choice, the computer will begin to notice this and choose more often the choice that will win over it.

What I would like is for you all to look over it and help me learn ways to shorten the code / make it better.
The biggest roadblock I had to overcome was the "divide by 0" error. I wanted to create a rate where the probability the opponent would choose something would increase, but since everything starts off at 0, the game wouldn't let me. I didn't feel like writing a bunch of "IF" statements to get around this pitfall.
I also wondered if there was a way to create a visible command. It would be similar to a Verb, but would be visible at all times as an option you could click and it would just execute the command without having to type it in.

Thanks guys,

I tried it out. It seems work nicely enough. The "select your game" part was a bit confusing at first, as it said to select your game but then it said to press a key to continue. I didn't know at first it would put up a menu afterwards. I thought I had missed something.

For the "visible command", where would you like it to show up? If you just want a link in the display area, you could have a turn script that throws up some hyperlinked text. And that text could execute whatever you want. It can be as simple as:

      msg (CommandLink("inv", "Show Inventory"))

This will display a hyperlink with text "Show Inventory", and when you click on it, it will input "inv", which will make that command execute.

Hasn't someone made a craps game with Quest already?
