HandWar is a fast-paced, browser-based take on the classic Rock–Paper–Scissors game. Built as a lightweight prototype, it focuses on instant play, smooth animations, and quick matchmaking. Players can challenge friends or get paired with a random opponent in real time, make their move, and see the winner revealed instantly.
The project is designed to be scalable — starting with the original RPS set but structured so new themes, elements, or game modes can be added later without changing the core logic. It uses Firebase for real-time multiplayer and hosting, ensuring quick deployment and minimal backend setup.
