Conclusion of Our Rock Paper Scissors App

Congratulations on completing your Rock Paper Scissors game with React and Vite. In this final module, we’ll reflect on what you’ve learned, revisit the working app, test your understanding with a few MCQs, and share resources to help you continue your React journey.

1) Learning Outcomes

By building this app from scratch, you’ve picked up several essential front-end development skills. Let’s recap what you’ve achieved:

• Set up a React project with Vite: You bootstrapped a React app using Vite, which gave you a fast development environment with instant feedback while coding.

• Worked with React components: You created a single, self-contained App component that holds the entire game logic and UI, showing how React components encapsulate both structure and behavior.

• Managed state with React Hooks: Using useState, you tracked the player’s choice, the computer’s choice, the current result, and the ongoing scores. This taught you how to keep your UI reactive and dynamic.

• Implemented game logic: You wrote a playGame function to handle the rules of Rock, Paper, Scissors. This logic updates both the results and the scoreboard based on user input.

• Handled user interaction: Button clicks trigger the game logic, demonstrating how to capture events in React and respond with state changes.

With these skills, you’ve laid a strong foundation in React development while completing a fun and interactive project.

2) Live Demo

Here’s the final version of your Rock Paper Scissors app hosted online, fully functional with scoring and styling:

3) MCQs (Answers at the end)

1. Which React hook was used to store and update the player’s and computer’s choices?
   a. useEffect
   b. useState
   c. useRef
   d. useMemo

2. What does the playGame function do in the app?
   a. Starts a timer for the game
   b. Defines the rules and updates the score/result
   c. Styles the buttons
   d. Fetches random jokes from an API

3. How does the app randomly select the computer’s choice?
   a. With Math.random() to pick from the choices array
   b. With useEffect
   c. With a custom shuffle function
   d. With React Router

4. What does React automatically do when state variables like playerScore or computerScore are updated?
   a. Shows an alert
   b. Re-renders the component with new values
   c. Reloads the entire page
   d. Deletes the old values permanently

5. Where is the scoreboard displayed in the app?
   a. In the console
   b. Inside a footer
   c. In a dedicated section below the result
   d. In a popup window

Answer Key:
1 → b. useState
2 → b. Defines the rules and updates the score/result
3 → a. With Math.random() to pick from the choices array
4 → b. Re-renders the component with new values
5 → c. In a dedicated section below the result
