Quest 3 - Rock Paper Scissors Game with Aptos Roll

Generating randomness in blockchains is particularly challenging due to their deterministic nature, where the same set of inputs must always produce the same outputs to ensure consensus among all network participants.

As such, Aptos Labs released Aptos Roll, which is the first secure and instant on-chain randomness API. This API simplifies the process of obtaining random values in Move smart contracts, crucial for applications like decentralized games, raffles, NFTs, and airdrops.

In this quest, we’ll be learning about how to implement this randomness API through the creation of a Rock Paper Scissors game, whereby users will be able to play against a computer.

Let’s go!
