A Game of Twenty-One
For this assignment, you will write a
Here are some suggestions for the game’s design:
- Each round of the game is performed as an iteration of a loop that repeats as long as the player agrees to roll the dice, and the player’s total does not exceed 21.
- At the beginning of each round, the program will ask the user whether or not he or she wants to roll the dice to accumulate points.
- During each round, the program simulates the rolling of two six-sided dice. It rolls the dice first for the computer, and then it asks the user whether he or she wants to roll. (Use the Die class that was shown in Code Listing 6–14 to simulate the dice.)
- The loop keeps a running total of both the computer’s and the user’s points.
- The computer’s total should remain hidden until the loop has finished.
- After the loop has finished, the computer’s total is revealed, and the player with the most points, without going over 21, wins.

A class plays a fishing game in which a large tub is filled with plastic fish that are identical, except that some are red and the rest are white. A student is blindfolded and pulls 10 fish out of the tub. The student removes the blindfold, writes down how many of each color fish she got, and then puts the fish back in the tub. Each student takes a turn. The results are shown in the table.

Write and answer (to the extent possible) at least three questions about the data display in part (a); include at least one question at each of the three graph-reading levels discussed in the reading.
9. Trivia Game
In this programming exercise, you will create a simple trivia game for two players. The program will work like this:
Starting with player 1, each player gets a turn at answering 5 trivia questions. (There should be a total of 10 questions.) When a question is displayed, 4 possible answers are also displayed. Only one of the answers is correct, and if the player selects the correct answer, he or she earns a point.
After answers have been selected for all the questions, the program displays the number of points earned by each player and declares the player with the highest number of points the winner.
To create this program, write a Question class to hold the data for a trivia question. The Question class should have attributes for the following data:
A trivia question
Possible answer 1
Possible answer 2
Possible answer 3
Possible answer 4
The number of the correct answer (1, 2, 3, or 4)

The game is played on a varying size grid board. The player controls a spider. The spider, being a fast creature, moves in the pattern that emulates a knight from the game of chess. There is also an ant that slowly moves across the board, taking steps of one square in one of the eight directions. The spider's goal is to eat the ant by entering the square it currently occupies, at which point another ant begins moving across the board from a random starting location. Game Definition: The above Figure illustrates the game. The yellow box shows the location of the spider. The green box is the current location of the ant. The blue boxes are the possible moves the spider could make. The red arrow shows the direction that the ant is moving - which, in this case, is the horizontal X-direction. When the ant is eaten, a new ant is randomly placed on one of the…arrow_forwardAssignment Write a program that moves a forester unit and a desert corps unit to a given target location and prints the number of hours it took for each unit to reach the target.

Then, the starting X and Y positions of the desert corps unit as well as its base speed (all ints). Finally, the target X and Y positions (both ints) and the terrain type (std::string). Speeds are given as distance traveled in one full day (i.e., 24 hours) and is affected by the terrain type using a multiplier over the base speed. Also, after 1 full day, each unit rests for a certain number of hours. Speed multiplier and rest amount of each type of unit depending on the terrain type are as below.

This is a dice game that involves rolling five dice and scoring points based on what show up on those five dice.

A Yahtzee score card has two portions: The upper portion has spaces for six scores, obtained by adding up all of the 1's, 2's, 3's, etc. The lower portion has special scores for various combinations: Three of a kind -- at least 3 dice are the same number;the score is the sum of all five dice Four of a kind -- at least 4 dice are the same number;the score is the sum of all five dice Small straight -- four consecutive numbers are represented, e.g. 2345;the score is 25 points Large straight -- five consecutive numbers are represented, e.g. 23456;the score is 30 points Full House -- three of one kind, two of another; the score is 30 points Yahtzee! -- five of a kind; the…arrow_forward

- The game of "23" is a two-player game that begins with a pile of 23 toothpicks. Players take turns, withdrawing either 1, 2 or 3 toothpicks at a time. The player to withdraw the last toothpick loses the game. Write a human vs. computer program that plays "23". The human should always move first. When it is the computer's turn it should play according to the following rules: If there are more than 7 toothpicks left, then the computer should withdraw a random number of toothpicks (from 1 to 3). Use the rand() function, as demonstrated in class to produce this number.. If there are 2, 3 or 4 toothpicks left, then the computer should withdraw enough toothpicks to leave 1. If there is 1 toothpick left, then the computer has to take it and loses. When the human player enters the number of toothpicks to withdraw, the program should perform input validation. Make sure that the entered number is between 1 and 3 (inclusive) and that the player is not trying to withdraw more toothpicks…arrow_forwardChapter 5. PC #17. Rock, Paper, Scissors Game (page 317) Write a program that lets the user play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer. The program should work as follows. 2.

If the number is 2, then the computer has chosen scissors. (Do not display the computer choice yet.) 3. The user enters his or her choice of "rock", "paper", or "scissors" at the keyboard. You should use 1 for rock, 2 for paper, and 3 for scissors. Internally, you can store 0, 1, and 2 as the user choice, to match with the above schema. 4.
