[Tutor] Rock, Paper, Scissors

[Christopher Spears]

I have been looking for a new project to tackle when I
came across this link:
http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/pyBiblio/practice/wilson/rockpaperscissors.php.

Here is some sample output that was provided at the
webpage:

This looks like a fun project to work on.  From
reading the description, I feel this would be pretty
straight forward game to program.  However, I have no
idea how the computer would decide if it wanted a
rock, paper, or a pair of scissors.  Any hints?
