Games: Rock Paper Scissors

In your existing Games project, you’re going to create a rock paper scissors game where players will play against an AI which randomly chooses rock, paper, or scissors.

You should be able to start your project by running the following from the game folder in the command line.

iex -S mix

Then you can start the rock paper scissors game with a Games.RockPaperScissors module. The game should prompt the user for a choice of "rock", "paper", or "scissors".

iex> Games.RockPaperScissors.play()
(rock/paper/scissors): scissors

The game should generate a random AI choice of "rock" , "paper", or "scissors", then prompt the user with feedback if they win, lose, or draw.

# Ai Choice: Paper
Choose rock, paper, or scissors: scissors
"You win! scissors beats paper."

# Ai Choice: Scissors
Choose rock, paper, or scissors: paper
"You lose! scissors beats paper."

# Ai Choice: Rock
Choose rock, paper, or scissors: rock
"It's a tie!"
