Super LAN Multiplayer Rock-Paper-Scissors

What it Looks Like

How to Play

This game has the same rules as rock-paper-scissors, except your uses of each move are limited. You get more uses when you start to run out. The game only ends when either player quits.

Requires Python

1. Install Python (version >= 3.8) if you don't have it

(optional) Enable multiplayer with another computer on your network

1. Find your local IP address (don't just search "what's my IP" and use that--that's likely your router's IP address, not yours)
   1. If this is hard, search "how to find local ip address"
   2. On Windows, run the terminal command ipconfig and get your computer's IPv4 address for the network you're using
2. Open socket_constants.py in any text editor, and change SERVER_NAME to your IPv4 address
3. Get a copy of all the repo files on any other computer connected to the same network
   1. Fun fact: you don't need to copy both of the client/server files!
   2. Make sure the SERVER_NAME in socket_constants.py on this computer has the same IPv4 address; don't change it
