I need some help getting started with a program I'd like to write. My question has
little to do directly with Perl, (aside from the fact that I'll be using Perl to write
the program) but I hope you'll find the question interesting and permit me this small
indulgence.
I'd like to write a program that will play Rock-Paper-Scissors with the user. Simple
enough on its own, but I'd also like it to, over the course of several games, watch
for patterns in the user's choices and try to guess what they'll pick next. Similar to
the AI board games that get better each time you play them, but on a smaller scale.
My question is, how would you approach the problem? I've never written anything like
this before, and I don't really know where to begin. Any information would be greatly
appreciated.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
