Bare with me, this might be kind of sloppy. But first off, I've basically built the majority of the game, but now all I have left is to figure out a better way to get the game to continuously loop without a preset counter.
I have to apply the same loop technique to get the invalid entry messages to correctly reprompt the user and return to the original function had they entered the correct input. These two things are where my brain has shut off. :(
If anyone has suggestions, please let me know! I also put PlayAgain(); method in there, but I'm thinking that might be unnecessary if I can just figure out what kind of loop or whatever I can use to get the game to reset. And would need it to figure out how to get the invalid entries to work. Just this and two really confusing array exercises left! But anyway, thanks in advance if anyone is willing to help. I'll post the code below, and it may be kind of sloppy but I'll try my best.

// creating the game object
RPSGame rpsGame = new RPSGame();
Console.WriteLine("Welcome to Rock, Paper, Scissors!");
//prompting user with necessary input to begin or end game sequence
Console.WriteLine("Would you like to play? Enter 'yes', 'y', 'Yes', or 'Y' for yes.\nEnter 'no', 'No', 'n', 'N' for no.\nDecision?");

if (playerChoice == "yes" || playerChoice == "y" || playerChoice == "Yes" || playerChoice == "Y")

//calling method to start game
rpsGame.StartGame();
//calling method to display results of game
