📘 About The Project

This project is a terminal-based Rock-Paper-Scissors game built using Python.
It uses ASCII art, clean input handling, and proper game logic to determine who wins each round.

The user selects Rock, Paper, or Scissors, the computer randomly selects its choice, and the program displays the winner with visual output.

🎯 Why This Project Exists

Most beginners build simple RPS games without visuals.
This version adds:

• ASCII art
• cleaner logic
• replay loop
• variable mapping system
  so it becomes more fun and better structured for learning.

It’s perfect as a beginner-friendly Python mini project and a starter portfolio piece.
