A friend of mine suggested such an idea to me 15 years ago. This is what I told him.

You run it inside an x86 interpreter which simulates the CPU all the way through the decryption. Then you snapshot the decrypted code and rebuild the app without the decryption and substitute the decrypted code. Now it's just a plain app. If it tries to "detect it's environment" (read the clock, etc), the simulator just tells it whatever it wants to hear. It cannot know it's being simulated, it's just code.

They say that the person chooses the next in sequence by the name of the game, but that may not be why. Perhaps when they lose they choose the pattern that beats the pattern they just used. It still results in the same sequence, R>P>S, but for a different reason.
