I'd like to take this opportunity to present the coolest take on RPS I've EVER seen: a board game, invented by oddball web cartoonist Tailsteak! He presents the rules in this strip:
Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have come up with a computer player engine that I've seen, so you're stuck playing against yourself. Maybe if someone's looking for a challenge... ;)
Now that I think of it, this guy should get more attention here. The creator of webcomic 1/0 (http://www.undefined.net/1/0/) is a man of many interesting ideas in a variety of fields, well worth a moment of the young entrepreneur's time.
