A Game of 21

For this assignment, you will write a program that lets the user play against the computer in a variation of the popular blackjack card game. In this variation of the game, two six-sided dice are used instead of cards. The dice are rolled, and the player tries to heat the computer’s hidden total without going over 21.

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 users whether they want 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, then it asks the user if he or she wants to roll. (Use the Die class demonstrated in this chapter to simulate the dice).
  • The loop keeps a running total of both the computer 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.

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 Question class also should have an appropriate _…
The Spider Game Introduction: In this assignment you will be implementing a game that simulates a spider hunting for food using python. 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…
Moving Between Rooms - Navigation In this assignment, you will be working with a given "rooms" dictionary and associated constants to create a simple text-based game. Your main task is to develop a function that allows the player to navigate through the rooms based on the given specifications. You need to implement the function found in the starter code to the right The function should take into account the following conditions: If the direction leads to an exit, set the next room to the exit and the message to "Goodbye". If the direction is invalid, set the next room to the current room and the message to "No such direction". If the direction is valid, but you cannot go that way, set the next room to the current room and the message to "You bumped into a wall". If the direction is valid and you can go that way, set the next room to the room in that direction and the message to "Empty". To help you understand how the function will be integrated into the gameplay loop, the following…
