Can You Beat the Rock-Paper-Scissors Supercomputer?

[DayDark]

10-8-2, used repeats, and two - one switches.

I beat it 10 - 2 on Novice but then it crushed me on Veteran

 

[MrShadowzs]

after 50 rounds i got 18-16-15, yay

It's pretty easy to predict, but still fun to play mind games with. Though sometimes when it repeatedly matched me move for move I was convinced it was becoming sentient until I managed to outsmart.

 

[Davey Woo]

Played first to 10. I won with 2 ties and 5 losses.
For all I know and care it could have been chosing randomly, I don't really believe in 'mind games' against a computer.

RPS (KPS untranslated) is what we used in the military to solve everything.

And few months ago I was very drunk in a bar, and decided to challenge the bartender to a rock-paper-scissors competition, best of three, for 40 ? (I'm not rich at all by the way) to compensate my loss of 170 ? in poker from that night. And I won.

I scored 10-10-10, I actually started doing much better when I realized part of the pattern that the computer used. It's pretty interesting and now I have more of an idea on what to do the next time I play!

I used a random number generator to truly randomly choose between rock/paper/scissors. Because the AI isnt used to really random stuff I was winning on veteran. Feels good.

Twenty rounds left me at 7-11-2. Apparently the robot reads my mind and does... the exact same thing. Am I so influential that even robots seek to emulate me? The world may never know.

A truly random game would not necessarily have a even win-lose-tie score. It would be random, therefore unpredictable.

On an infinite time, it would turn even.

I spent most of the game (I played to 100) about 7 infront of it. To it's credit, it did actually learn and pick up on a few habits towards the end and pulled it back to 33-35-32. Great fun!

Not true

I beat it to 10 on veteran! 10-6-7

Not that everyone is great at such things, but I would imagine a site focused on gamers would have a much higher percentage of people who can beat up on an AI.

Also, it claims to guess your patterns by looking at a database of prior moves, so I was having fun trying to set up a pattern and then break it in the end. It called my bluff on Landslide and Bureaucracy gambits every time.

I still have a hard time trusting the computer not to cheat when I have to give it my result before it displays its own. But that's slightly hard to avoid here.

However, Veteran is kicking my ass.

How dare you use a computer to beat a computer! XP

Damn, my tried and true method of throwing nothing but rock failed me. Oh well. It always works on people though so it's okay.

Do enlighten us

 

[Rayne870]

150 rounds, tried some different things on the way:
-playing what would win against what the computer last played
-what would lose against what the computer last played
-arbitrarily picking buttons
-purposely creating patterns of repetition/loss to get one set up win

in the end i came out with 49-47-54 with most of my wins/ties in the late rounds with consciously screwing with the machine.
