Tiling: The precondition to the problem is that you are given threeintegers n, i, j, where i and j are in the range 1 to 2n. You have a 2n by 2n squareboard of squares. You have a sufficient number of tiles each with the shape . Your goalis to place nonoverlapping tiles on the board to cover each of the 2n × 2n tiles except forthe single square at location i, j. Give a recursive algorithm for this problem in whichyou place one tile yourself and then have four friends help you. What is your base case?
Union-Find: Maze
Write a program that generates mazes of arbitrary size using the union-find algorithm. A
simple algorithm to generate the maze is to start by creating an N x M grid of cells separated by
walls on all sides, except for entrance and exit. Then continually choose a wall randomly, and
knock it down if the cells are not already connected to each other. If we repeat the process until
the starting and ending cells are connected, we have a maze. It is better to continue knocking
down the walls until every cell is reachable from every cell as this would generate more false
leads in the maze.
Test you algorithm by creating a 15 x 15 grid, and print all the walls that have been knocked
down. D

- One variation on the game of nim is described in Luger. The game begins with a single pile of stones. The move by a player consists of dividing a pile into two piles that contain an unequal number of stones. For example, if one pile contains six stones, it could be subdivided into piles of five and one, or four and two, but not three and three. The first player who cannot make a move loses the game. (5.1) Draw the complete game tree for this version of Nim if the start state consists of six stones. (5.2) Perform a minimax evaluation for this game. Let 1 denote a win and 0 a loss.arrow_forwardPLEASE CODE IN PYTHON The Penny Pitch game is popular in amusement parks. Pennies are tossed onto a board that has certain areas marked with different prizes. For example: The prizes available on this board are puzzle, game, ball, poster, and doll. At the end of the game, if all of the squares that say BALL are covered by a penny, the player gets the ball. This is also true for the other prizes. The board is made up of 25 squares (5 x 5). Each prize appears on three randomly chosen squares so that 15 squares contain prizes.In Python, create a PennyPitch application that displays a Penny Pitch board (use [ and ] to indicate squares) with prizes randomly placed and then simulates ten pennies being randomly pitched onto the board. After the pennies have been pitched, the application should display a message indicating which prizes have been won, if any.arrow_forwardKnight's Tour: The Knight's Tour is a mathematical problem involving a knight on a chessboard. The knight is placed on the empty board and, moving according to the rules of chess, must visit each square exactly once. There are several billion solutions to the problem, of which about 122,000,000 have the knight finishing on the same square on which it begins. When this occurs the tour is said to be closed. Your assignment is to write a program that gives a solution to the Knight's Tour problem recursively. You must hand in a solution in C++ AND Java. The name of the C++ file should be "main.cc" and the name of the Java file should be "Main.java". Write C++ only with a file name of main.cc Please run in IDE and check to ensure that there are no errors occuring Output should look similar to: 1 34 3 18 49 32 13 16 4 19 56 33 14 17 50 31 57 2 35 48 55 52 15 12 20 5 60 53 36 47 30 51 41 58 37 46 61 54 11 26 6 21 42 59 38 27 64 29 43 40 23 8 45 62 25 10 22 7 44 39 24 9 28 63arrow_forward

In trick taking games such as whist or bridge, four players each play one card from their hand to the trick, committing to their play in clockwise order starting from the player who plays first into the trick. The winner of the trick is determined by the following rules:1. If one or more cards of the trump suit have been played to the trick, the trick is won by the highest ranking trump card, regardless of the other cards played.2. If no trump cards have been played to the trick, the trick is won by the highest card of the suit of the first card played to the trick. Cards of any other suits, regardless of their rank, are powerless to win that trick.3. Ace is the highest card in each suit.Note that the order in which the cards are played to the trick greatly affects the outcome of that trick, since the first card played in the trick…arrow_forward:Write some statements that display a list of integers from 10 to 20 inclusive ,each with its square root next to it.

- Suppose that you are given an n × n checkerboard and a checker. You must move the checker from the bottom edge of the board to the top edge of the board according to the following rule. At each step you may move the checker to one of three squares: 1. the square immediately above 2. the square that is one up and one to the left (but only if the checker if not already in the leftmost column) 3. the square that is one up and one to the right (but only if the checker is not already in the rightmost column). 1 Each time you move from square x to square y, you receive p(x, y) dollars. You are given p(x, y) for all pairs (x, y) for which a move from x to y is legal. Do not assume that p(x, y) is positive. design a recursive backtracking algorithm that determines the maximum amount of money you can recieve, when moving a checker frmo somewhere on the bottom row to somewhere on the top row. your algorithm is free to pick any squrre along the bottom row as a starting point and any square along…arrow_forwardMoon effect.

A player can mark a single cell by placing a symbol in it (either an 'x'or an 'o' character). A player who manages to mark a row, column, or a diagonal completely with his symbol first wins the game. The game ends in a tie if no player manages to win after all the cells have been marked. You will design a textual version of this game, in which a human player gets to play against a computer opponent.
