Programmatic usage

You can also use this as a module

var rps = require('rock-paper-scissors-stream')

var stream = rps('rock') // pass in your choice

stream.on('win', function (you, opponent) {
  console.log('you won (%s vs %s)', you, opponent)
})

stream.on('lose', function (you, opponent) {
  console.log('you lost (%s vs %s)', you, opponent)
})

stream.on('tie', function (you, opponent) {
  console.log('you tied (%s vs %s)', you, opponent)
})

someTransport.pipe(stream).pipe(someTransport)

How it works

It works by creating an sha256 hmac with a random nounce as the key an your weapon choice as the data argument.

You then exchange this hmac with a friend and when both of you have received eachothers hmacs you expose your weapon and nounce allowing both parties to verify that you picked your weapon before knowing what your opponent choose.
