ESP Game

Write a program that tests your ESP (extrasensory perception). The program should randomly select the name of a color from the following list of words:

Red, Green, Blue, Orange, Yellow

To select a word, the program can generate a random number. For example, if the number is 0, the selected word is Red; if the number is 1, the selected word is Green; and so forth.

Next, the program should ask the user to enter the color that the computer has selected. After the user has entered his or her guess, the program should display the name of the randomly selected color. The program should repeat this 10 times and then display the number of times the user correctly guessed the selected color. Be sure to modularize the program into methods that perform each major task.

Theater Ticket System: A small ten-seat theater has contracted you to build software which will reserve tickets.  The theater has two rows of five seats each.  Each row is referred to by number (1 or 2) and each seat in the row is referred to by letter (A, B, C, D, and E).  When started, the program should ask the user for the row they prefer (row selection).  If that row has no empty seats then the program should ask the user if they prefer the other row, if no then display a message stating the next show is tomorrow.  Upon selecting a row, the program should present the user with a choice of available seats in the row.  The user can then either choose a seat and print the ticket (in this case a simple message will suffice) or return to row selection.  If a ticket is printed the program should return to row selection.  The program terminates when all seats are reserved.   Please enter a row: 1 Available seats: A B C D E Which seat, enter Q for none?: B You have booked seat: 1B…

Slot Machine SimulationA slot machine is a gambling device that the user inserts money into and then pulls a lever (or presses a button). The slot machine then displays a set of random images. If two or more of the images match, the user wins an amount of money that the slot machine dispenses back to the user. Create a program that simulates a slot machine. When the program runs, it should do the following: Asks the user to enter the amount of money he or she wants to enter into the slot machine. Instead of displaying images, the program will randomly select a word from the following list: Cherries, Oranges, Plums, Bells, Melons, Bars To select a word, the program can generate a random number in the range of 0 through 5. If the number is 0, the selected word is Cherries; if the number is 1, the selected word is Oranges; and so forth. The program should randomly select a word from this list three times and display all three of the words. If none of the randomly selected words match, the…
