Question
WRITE A CODE IN C++ LANGUAGE
To implement the multiplayer game with multiple players moving and collecting items concurrently, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Generate a random number between 10 - 99 and multiply it by the last digit of your roll number.
Step 2: Divide your roll number with the generated number in step 1 and take the mod of the result with 25.
Step 3: If the result in step 2 is less than 10, add 15 to it to get the board size.
Step 4: Create an n x n board and initialize it with empty squares and randomly place items on some squares.
Step 5: Create a thread for each player and pass the player's ID and starting position to the thread.
Step 6: Each player thread should handle the player's movement and item collection.
Step 7: When a player moves onto a square that contains an item, the player thread should send a message to the main thread indicating that the player has collected an item and the item's value.
Step 8: The main thread should update the game board and score based on the messages received from the player threads.
Step 9: To ensure that only one player thread updates the game board at any given time, each player thread should have its own message queue that it sends messages to.
Step 10: The main thread should poll these message queues to receive updates from each player and update the game state accordingly.
Step 11: You can use thread attributes to set the priority of each player thread based on the player's score or other game-related factors to ensure that players with higher scores or better performance are given higher priority in the game.

The program will work like this: Starting with player 1, each player gets a turn at answering 5 trivia questions. (There are 10 questions, 5 for each player.) When a question is displayed, four 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 of 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. You are to design a Question class to hold the data for a trivia question. The Question class should have String fields 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)…arrow_forwardWrite a C# program that plays a guessing game with the user. Your program should select a random number between 1 and 50 and then let the user try to guess it. The program should continue asking the user for a number until he guesses correctly. (See below for some tips on random numbers). CHALLENGE #1: Modify your program so that it only allows the user 10 guesses, and then declares them to be an inadequate guesser if they haven’t gotten it correct. Your program should output the random number chosen. CHALLENGE #2: Modify your program so that after they guess a number (or get declared inadequate, if you do Challenge #1) that it asks them if they want to play again, and responds accordingly.

- Installation of a Shopee Billboard Max. score: 100 You are installing a billboard and want it to be at the maximum height. The billboard will have two steel supports, one on each side. The height of each steel bracket must be equal. You have a number of rebar rods that can be welded together. For example, if the bars are of length 1, 2, and 3, they can be welded together to form a length of 6 brackets. Return the maximum possible installation height of the billboard. Return 0 if the billboard cannot be installed.arrow_forwardJava Programming: Write a command line game that plays a simple version of blackjack. The program should generate random numbers between 1 and 10 each time the player gets a card. It should keep a running total of the players cards, and ask the player whether or not it should deal another card. Sample output for the game is written below. Your program should produce the same output. The players get two cards to start with. Then they are asked if they want more cards. Players can continue to take as many cards as they like. The goal is to get close to 21 without going over. If the total is greater than 21 we say the player "busted".arrow_forwardJava:arrow_forward
- Code in C++ Language As a cashier, you would always hate those times when customers choose to take back their order since you'd always summon your manager and yell, "Ma'am pa-void!" No matter how you hate it, you always have to do it since you have no other choice. Given (1) an array of prices of the items, (2) another array of the items the customer wishes to take back, and (3) the customer's payment, print the change of the customer. Input: The first number indicates the number of items "n" brought to the cashier. The next "n" numbers are the prices of the items. The next number indicates the number of items "m" that the customer wants to take back and not proceed. It is assured that 0 <= m <= n. The next "m" numbers are the items to be void that ranges from item 1 to item "n". The final number is the customer's payment. It is also assured that the given payment >= final price of items.

When your program runs it might look like this (user input is in orange for clarity): Enter five numeric cards, no face cards. Use 2 - 9. Card 1: 8 Card 2: 7 Card 3: 8 Card 4: 2 Card 5: 9 Pair! (This is a pair, since there are two eights). You are only required to find the hands Pair and Straight.arrow_forwardWrite a program that plays a dice game called "21" It is a variation on BlackJack where one player plays against the computer trying to get 21 or as close to 21 without going over. Here are the rules of the game: You will play with dice that have numbers from 1 to 11. To win, the player or the computer has to get to 21, or as close as possible without going over. If the player or computer goes over 21, they instantly lose. If there is a tie, the computer wins. Starting the game: The player is asked to give the computer a name. For now, we'll simply call the computer opponent, "computer." The game starts with rolling four dice. The first two dice are for the player. These two dice are added up and the total outputted to the screen. The other two dice are for the computer. Likewise, their total is outputted to the screen. Player: If a total of 21 has been reached by either the player or the computer, the game instantly stops and the winner is declared. Otherwise,…arrow_forward
- Please written by computer source Please solve with C - NIM Gamearrow_forwardYou are hired by a game design company and one of their most popular games is The Journey. The game has a ton of quests, and for a player to win, the player must finish all the quests. There are a total of N quests in the game. Here is how the game works: the player can arbitrarily pick one of the N quests to start from. Once the player completes a quest, they unlock some other quests. The player can then choose one of the unlocked quests and complete it, and so on. For instance, let’s say that this game had only 4 quests: A, B, C, and D. Let’s say that after you complete • quest A, you unlock quests [B, D]. • quest B, you unlock quests [C, D]. • quest C, you unlock nothing [ ]. • quest D, you unlock quest [C]. Is this game winnable? Yes, because of the following scenario: The player picks quest A to start with. At the end of the quest A, the unlocked list contains [B, D]. Say that player chooses to do quest B, then the…arrow_forwardA fish-finder is a device used by anglers to find fish in a lake. If the fish-finder finds a fish, it will sound an alarm. It uses depth readings to determine whether to sound an alarm. For our purposes, the fish-finder will decide that a fish is swimming past if:there are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly increasing sequence (such as 3 4 7 9) (which we will call "Fish Rising"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly decreasing sequence (such as 9 6 5 2) (which we will call "Fish Diving"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which are identical (which we will call "Constant Depth").All other readings will be considered random noise or debris, which we will call "No Fish."Create a Python program called "fishfinder_firstname_lastname" that takes 1 input of string of 4 numbers separated with comma. Your program must display "Fish Rising", "Fish Diving.", "Fish At Constant Depth" or "No Fish".Example:30,10,20,20 Must display No…arrow_forward
