Take the Rock Paper Azure Challenge!
Learn the Cloud, make your move, play to win!

How do you stack up against the coding competition? Play and find out!

Did you play Rock, Paper, Scissors as a kid? Does it still determine who makes the afternoon coffee run? Then you already know how to play the game. Now's your chance to code your own player "bot" and test your skills online. Will your bot have what it takes to crush the competition?
