2.5 Starting Our GitPod Workspace

Enough theory. It’s time to open the GitPod project so we can visualize the steps and see some results. We’ll finally make our Rock, Paper, Scissors game work, by having the computer opponent randomly choose a move rather than always playing paper. We will then be able to compute outcomes based on the computer’s move.

Here is the assignment. As usual:

  1. Start the web server by running bin/server.
  2. Navigate to your live application preview.
  3. As you work, remember to navigate to /git and Always Be Committing (ABC).
  4. Organize your workspace tabs.
  5. Run rails grade as often as you like to see how you are doing, but make sure you test your app manually first to make sure it matches the target’s behavior.

If you need a refresher in starting the workspace, see the [Technical Setup][Technical Setup]

The target for this project, looks similar to what we have produced. But, the key difference is that the computer plays different moves, so the application is finally dynamic.
