Paper scissors stone

Ruby
1

I’ve just started learning ruby at university and we are making a ruby
rock paper scissors game with all students making a ruby player. I was
wondering if there was a chance to find the function a player would use
i.e like paper and counter that with my own functions or even create a
super function like dynamite.

What you’re looking for is called reflection, and it’s easy enough to do
:D.
If you have a common ancestor (RPSPlayer or somesuch) you can iterate
through
ObjectSpace.each(Class) and look for ancestry, etc. Play around with it
in
irb.
