RUST, PAPER, SCISSORS!

This is my first rust-written project: a rock, paper, and scissors game. I have a lot of fun with it but don't expect me to get a job. It was built using cargo.

Dependencies

• cargo (duh)
• rand
• colored

Installing and Running

The package is available at Crates.io. You can install it via Cargo, or by building it yourself. (Make sure you have cargo installed already.)

Cargo

$ cargo install rps_paijo

Build from source

Clone the repo 👹.

$ git clone https://github.com/lordpaijo/rust-paper-scissors.git # https
$ git clone git@github.com:lordpaijo/rust-paper-scissors.git     # ssh
$ cd rust-paper-scissors/

Now let's get rusty...

$ cargo update # updating the project dependencies...
$ cargo build # buzzzbuzzbuzzz, here comes the slow-ass build...

Finished installing or building, you can now play the game. If you installed the already published package, then you can execute it by typing rps_paijo on your terminal just like any other CLI apps. Or if you built it from source, then do the followings:

$ cd rust-paper-scissors/
$ cargo run

Playing

I don't think I have to tell you how to play the game in general, it's the same as any other rock, paper, and scissors. Though I want to address some additional features which they all are in the form of commands.

 - exit / quit : Quitting your game's session without any results.
 - restart / reset : Restart your game's session back to 0.
 - end : Ending your game's session with a result, either you win, lose, or draw.

And that's everything, I hope... Enjoy playing!

FAQs

What's the purpose of this project?

--- 11/2/2025 21:32 P.M --- I made this project as a way to learn rust and its environments since I've found it interesting. And learning by doing some projects like this helps a lot for me. It's also a way for me to have fun! So don't take it too serious.

Why Rust?

--- 11/2/2025 21:38 P.M --- Rust is interesting, and IT IS interesting. It feels like the JavaScript of the C Family. Though I'm using it not because the reasons why others are using it, like safety or so. I can still make an unsafe program because I'm stupid anyway. But I'm using rust because it's either C++ or Rust, and the bet chose rust...

How to Contribute?
