Fishing Game Simulation
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 wants to fish for more items.
- At the beginning of each round, the program will ask the user whether he or she wants to continue fishing.
- The program simulates the rolling of a six-sided die (use the Die class that was demonstrated in this chapter).
- Each item that can be caught is represented by a number generated from the die. For example, 1 for “a huge fish,” 2 for “an old shoe,” 3 for “a little fish,” and so on.
- Each item the user catches is worth a different amount of points.
- The loop keeps a running total of the user’s fishing points.
- After the loop has finished, the total number of fishing points is displayed, along with a message that varies depending on the number of points earned.

- Assignment Description This program will simulate part of the game of Yahtzee! This is a dice game that involves rolling five dice and scoring points based on what show up on those five dice. The players would record their scores on a score card, and then total them up, and the player with the larger total wins the game. 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_forwardcheck_game_over(): as the name suggests, this function should check to see if the game is over (if one side has no stones left in all of its pockets). It takes as an argument the game board and should return True if the game is over and False otherwise.arrow_forwardRock Paper Scissors Game Instructions In the game Rock Paper Scissors, two players simultaneously choose one of three options: rock, paper, or scissors. If both chose the same option, then the result is a tie. However, if they choose differently, the winner is determined as follows: • Rock beats scissors, because a rock can break a pair of scissors. • Scissors beat paper, because scissors can cut the paper. • Paper beats rock, because a piece of paper can cover a rock. Create a game in which the computer randomly chooses rock, paper, or scissors. Assign the number 1, 2, or 3 to represent one of the three choices. Let the user enter a number. Then determine the winner by comparing the user input and the randomly generated choice of the computer. Additional instructions: • The Program should validate all user input. • Game should ask the user to play again and continue if yes and stop if no. • Once the user stops playing, program should print the total number of wins.arrow_forward

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 Question class also should have an appropriate _…arrow_forwardRoad Trip Programming challenge description: You've decided to make a road trip across the country in a straight line. You have chosen the direction you'd like to travel and made a list of cities in that direction that have gas stations to stop at and fill up your tank. To make sure that this route is viable, you need to know the distances between the adjacent cities in order to be able to travel this distance on a single tank of gasoline, (No one likes running out of gas.) but you only know distances to each city from your starting point. Input: Your program should read lines from standard input. Each line contains the list of cities and distances to them, comma delimited, from the starting point of your trip. You start your trip at point 0. The cities with their distances are separated by semicolon. Output: Print out the distance from the starting point to the nearest city, and the distances between two nearest cities separated by comma, in order they appear on the route. Test 1…arrow_forward
- ne: ID: A 7. A game is played by moving a game piece left or right along a horizontal game board. The board consists of spaces of various colors, as shown. The circle represents the initial location of the game piece. Yellow Black Green Green Red Yellow Yellow Black Black Black The following algorithm indicates how the game is played. The game continues until the game is either won by landing on the red space or lost when the piece moves off either end of the board. Step 1: Place a game piece on a space that is not red and set a counter to 0. Step 2: If the game piece is on a yellow space, move the game piece 3 positions to the left and go to step 3. Otherwise, if the game piece is on a black space, move the game piece 1 position to the left and go to step 3. Otherwise, if the game piece is on a green space, move the game piece 2 positions to the right and go to step 3. Step 3: Increase the value of the counter by 1. Step 4: If game piece is on the red space or moved off the end of the…arrow_forward9. Trivia Game In this programming exercise, you will create a simple trivia game for two players.

Here is how it works: • First, it is randomly determined if the user starts the game or the computer and this information is shown to the user. The player who starts always starts as "X". • The players (computer and the user) will then take turns in playing. The computer will choose a random empty spot on its turn. The user enters its choice in the console. • Each of the empty spots have a corresponding number that the players choose on their turn. If the user enters anything other than the number of an empty spot (not yet filled with "X" or "O"), it will not be accepted, and they will be prompted to enter a correct number. 2 4 7 8 • After each turn, two things need to be done: 1) displaying the updated board 2) checking if anyone has won (it should be printed who has won – the user or the computer).

- Dice Rolling Class In this problem, you will need to create a program that simulates rolling dice. To start this project, you will first need to define the properties and behaviors of a single die that can be reused multiple times in your future code. This will be done by creating a Dice class. Create a Dice class that contains the following members: Two private integer variables to store the minimum and maximum roll possible. Two constructors that initialize the data members that store the min/max possible values of rolls. a constructor with default min/max values. a constructor that takes 2 input arguments corresponding to the min and max roll values Create a roll() function that returns a random number that is uniformly distributed between the minimum and maximum possible roll values. Create a small test program that asks the user to give a minValue and maxValue for a die, construct a single object of the Dice class with the constructor that initializes the min and max…arrow_forwardMonty Hall Problem – Coding Lab In this lab, you will write a code that simulates the Monty Hall Game Show. Thegame host gives the participant the choice of selecting one of three doors. Twodoors has a goat behind them and one door has a prize. The set of choices arerandomized each round. The participant needs to select the door with the prizebehind it. When the participant selects a door, the game host reveals a door with agoat behind it. The game host opens a door (different from the one selected by theparticipant) that has a goat behind it. The participant is then given the option tochange their choice. When you run your code, the code would display a message prompting the user toinput their door choice, labelled as 1, 2, and 3. Then the code will display a doornumber (different from the one the user picked) with a goat behind it and ask theuser if they would like to change their choice.

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, which the slot machine dispenses back to the user. Design a program that simulates a slot machine. When the program runs, it should do the following: Ask the user to enter the amount of money he or she wants to insert into the slot machine. Create an application that simulates a slot machine. The application should let the user enter into a TextBox the amount of money he or she is inserting into the machine. When the user clicks the Spin button, the application should display three randomly selected symbols. (Slot machines traditionally display fruit symbols.arrow_forward
