rps

Rock, Paper, Scissors (RPS) with Bitcoin Protocol

This script implements the Rock, Paper, Scissors game based on a protocol described here.

Prerequisites

After following the root prerequisites, make sure to install the additional requirements:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

How to Run:

The game can be played as either Alice or Bob, and you can specify your move (rock, paper, scissors). Additionally, other options like non-interactive mode and automatic mining can be set.

python rps.py --alice/--bob [--rock/--paper/--scissors] [--non-interactive] [--mine-automatically] [--host HOST] [--port PORT]

In order to play a game, run python rps.py --alice on a shell, and python rps.py --bob on a separate shell.

The two scripts will establish a socket to communicate and negotiate a game UTXO.

Once the UTXO is funded (NOTE: it must be funded externally), the two scripts proceed to play the game.

Arguments:

• --alice / --bob: Specify the player you want to play as.
• --rock / --paper / --scissors: Specify your move. If ommitted, a random move is chosen.
• --non-interactive: Run in non-interactive mode (if not enabled, the user has to confirm each action).
• --mine-automatically: Enable automatic mining when transactions are broadcast.
• --host: Specify the host address (default is localhost).
• --port: Specify the port number (default is 12345).
