Shifumi
Team IMAGE
The game "Rock-paper-scissors" also known as shifumi is a game in which each player forms with his hand a sign among three symbols : rock, paper and cissors. The winner is declared according to the following rules :
The rock beats the cissors, the cissors beat the leaf, the leaf beats the rock.
A new variant has been popularized by the american serie The Big Bang Theory. It's "Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock". Here the classical rules are still applied but it must be added that the lizard eats the paper, poisons Spock, is crushed by the rock and is decapitated by the scissors. Spock vaporizes the rock, breaks the cissors and is discredited by the paper. This variant increases the combination count from 3 to 10 and is supposed to reduce the equality cases between two player.
The demonstrator allows to play to this variant. The player plays against the computer. In order to recognize the symbols played by the player, the hand made symbols are recognized by a neural network. In order that this network recognizes them, the player must first provide an example of a symbol made with his hands for each symbol among Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock.
This demonstrator uses the TensorFlowJS technology.
