#ZeroMQ Rock/Paper/Scissors

Written for https://github.com/agnostechvalley/katas/tree/master/2016-10

Since ZeroMQ uses TCP as its protocol a server and client can be written in any language as long as it uses the PAIR socket type. Then the server and client can be started in any order. If you start the server first you do have to know the address of the server ahead of time.

#Running as a Server

Specify GAMES and PORT to start as a server and wait for a connection.

Go

$ GAMES=7 PORT=1313 go run go/main.go
Address: tcp://10.0.0.13:1313
Games: 7
...

Julia

$ GAMES=7 PORT=1313 julia julia/main.jl
Address: tcp://10.0.0.13:1313
Games: 7
...

#Running as a Client

Specify ADDRESS of a running server.

Go

$ ADDRESS=tcp://10.0.0.13:1313 go run go/main.go
Games: 7
...

Julia

$ ADDRESS=tcp://10.0.0.13:1313 julia julia/main.jl
Games: 7
...

#Strategies

Right now only the Go code has strategies implemented. These strategies can be set with the STRATEGY variable.

#Random (default)

Randomly chooses rock, paper, scissors to throw.

#Win-Stay, Lose-Switch: STRATEGY=wsls

1. If you win the game, your next throw should beat your winning throw
2. If you lose the game, your next throw should beat their winning throw

#Least Thrown: STRATEGY=lt

Calculates their least thrown and throws the beating throw to that.

#Most Thrown: STRATEGY=mt

Calculates their most thrown and throws the beating throw to that.

#Literal Sequence: STRATEGY=ls

Throws rock, paper, scissors in that order...forever.
