In this article, we will create Rock, Paper, Scissors game using ReactJS. This project basically implements class components and manages the state accordingly. The player uses a particular option from Rock, Paper, or Scissors and then Computer chooses an option randomly. The logic of scoring and winning is implemented using JSX.

Let’s have a look at what our final project will look like:

Create Rock Paper Scissor Game using ReactJS

Create Rock Paper Scissor Game using ReactJS

Technologies Used/Pre-requisites:

  1. ReactJS
  2. CSS
  3. JSX
  4. Class Components in React

Approach: Containers are Stateful​ React components ( Class Based ). Components are ​ Stateless​ React Components ( Function-Based ). In this project, I have one container that is Controller which is responsible for state management and the entire game logic.

Project Structure:

 

Steps :

1. Set up React project using the command

npx create-react-app <<name of project>>

2. Navigate to the project folder using

cd <<Name_of_project>>

3. Create a folder “components” and add two new files in it namely Game.js and Game.css.

4. Import the icon pack using the following command in the index.html file of the public folder.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.3/css/all.min.css" />

Write the following code in different files(The name of the files is mentioned in the first line of each code block)

Example: 

  • index.html: This is an automatically created file in the public folder we just have to import the icon pack in its <head> tag.
  • App.js: This file imports the game components and exports it.
  • Game.js: This file contains the logic for the game, scoring techniques, and random function with which the computer chooses a value
  • Game.css: This file contains the design of the game elements.
