Rock, Paper, Scissors Game

Write a program that lets the user play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer. The program should work as follows:

1. 1. When the program begins, a random number in the range of 0 through 2 is generated. If the number is 0, then the computer has chosen rock. If the number is 1, then the computer has chosen paper. If the number is 2, then the computer has chosen scissors. (Don’t display the computer’s choice yet.)
2. 2. To make his or her selection, the user clicks an image on the screen. (You can find images for this game included in the book’s online resources at www.pearsonhighered. com/gaddis.)
3. 3. The computer’s choice is displayed.
4. 4. A winner is selected according to the following rules:
   • If one player chooses rock and the other player chooses scissors, then rock wins. (The rock smashes the scissors.)
   • If one player chooses scissors and the other player chooses paper, then scissors wins. (Scissors cuts paper.)
   • If one player chooses paper and the other player chooses rock, then paper wins. (Paper wraps rock.)
   • If both players make the same choice, the game is a tie.
