Modular Game Architecture: Building Rock Paper Scissors

Building simple games is a practical way to master core programming logic, but writing maintainable software requires clean architectural design. In this text-based course, you will learn how to transition from basic script implementations to a modular, extensible code architecture. You will start with key terminology, foundational programming concepts, and state logic before moving into hands-on code organization. What you'll learn: Learn core game logic and conditional rule evaluation; Build a complete game loop from initial player input to game state resolution; Refactor monolithic scripts into clean, reusable modules; Apply separation of concerns to easily add new functionality; Understand basic project architecture and maintainable code patterns; Practice modern refactoring techniques through written code examples. The course begins with foundational definitions and step-by-step logic design before moving on to full structural refactoring. Designed for beginners who want to move beyond basic scripts and learn how professional project architecture works. Start reading today and build cleaner game code.
