1. Print welcome message, ask the user for their name and use it when printing the scoreboard and narrating the game. Ask the user to pick rock, paper, scissors.

2. Ask the user how many points they want to play to ( first to score that many points wins, so if they pick 5, first to score 5 points, not "best of 5" than they lose.

3. Computer choice will be random.

4. Show both user and computer throws in a neat/creative way.

5. Check to see who has won the round and award points.

6. Print a "scoreboard" each round that shows each player score, and how many points they're playing too.

7. At the end of the game, print the final score and who won the game, and some goodbye/ thanks message.
