Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock in JavaScript

Question

I\'m kind of new to JavaScript. I just started learning it, and I decided to make a \'Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock\' game. Here is the code:

var use         


        

Answer 1

I would do something like the following (please note that the syntax may be off slightly):

var compare = function (choice1, choice2)
{
    switch (choice1.tolower())
    {
        case "rock"
            RockPicked(choice2);
            break;
        case "scissors"
            ScissorsPicked(choice2);
            break;
        ....
        ....
        case default
            alert ("Selection was invalid")
            break;
    }

}

// if the user picked rock then we compare the computers choice and decide winner
var RockPicked = function(choice2)
{
    if (choice2 === "scissors") 
    {
        alert("Rock wins!");
    } 
    else if (choice2 === "paper") 
    {
        alert("Paper wins!");
    } 
    else if (choice2 === "lizard") 
    {
        alert("Rock wins!");
    } 
    else 
    {
        alert("Spock wins!");
    }
}
