Agent Environment Cycle
Rock Paper Scissors
Rock, Paper, Scissors is a 2-player hand game where each player chooses either rock, paper or scissors and reveals their choices simultaneously. If both players make the same choice, then it is a draw. However, if their choices are different, the winner is determined as follows: rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, and paper beats rock.
Observation Space
The observation space is a scalar value with 4 possible values. Since both players reveal their choices at the same time, the observation is None until both players have acted. Therefore, 3 represents no action taken yet. Rock is represented with 0, paper with 1 and scissors with 2.
| Value | Observation |
|---|---|
| 0 | Rock |
| 1 | Paper |
| 2 | Scissors |
| 3 | None |
Action Space
