#Rock Paper Scissors by D10d3
#Goal:
#    Ask the player if they pick rock paper or scissors
#    Have the computer chose its move
#    Compare the choices and decide who wins
#    Print the results
#Sub goals:
#    Let the player play again
#    Keep a record of the score e.g. (Player: 3 / Computer: 6)
