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)

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…

- Dice game Rules of the game: The players roll three dice, and the program adds the sides that turn up. After the first roll of the three dice, a player may choose to roll the dice as many times as they wish until the player gets at least one side 2 from a dice. When a player gets at least one side 2 from the dice, that player's score drops to zero, and the turn switches to the other player. Both players play the game for an equal number of turns, and the player who gets a score higher than 18 wins. If both players get a score higher than 18 within an equal number of turns, the player with the higher score wins. If both of the players got the same scores, print the scores of the players. These are the minimum required functions for this program. Design and implement these functions. You can create more functions if you choose to.

If the number is 2, then the computer has chosen paper. If the number is 3, then the computer has chosen scissors. (Do not display the computer’s choice yet.)2. The user selects his or her choice of rock, paper, or scissors. To get this input you use clickable PictureBox controls displaying some of the artwork that you will find in the student sample files.3. The computer’s choice is displayed.4.

Write a program for a two-player version of the game Nim: a human player will play against the computer. The game is simple: players take turns removing from 1 to 4 sticks from a pile of 13 sticks; the player who picks up the last stick wins the game. Here’s some pseudocode for the Nim game. Start by initializing some variables that will allow you to keep track of the state of the game: One variable should record how many sticks there are left in the pile; initially, this variable must be initialized to 13. There are two players in the game, who take turns. To remember who’s turn is next, use a variable with two states (= values). Say the variable is 1 if the human player is next, and it is 2, if the computer’s turn is next. Pick randomly the player who should start the game. Then, start the main loop of the game: the game should continue for as long as there still are sticks (at least one) to pick. In each repetition of the game loop, one player will play their turn:…arrow_forward3.17 (Game: scissor, rock, paper) Write a program that plays the popular scissor–rock–paper game.

- 1. [LO 1, LO 2, LO 3 & LO 4, Treasure Hunter Description You are in front of a cave that has treasures. The cave can be represented in a grid which has rows numbered from 1 to , and columns numbered from 1 to . For this problem, define (x,y ) as a tile that is in the the-x row and the y-row. There is a character in each tile, which indicates the type of that tile. Tiles can be floors, walls, or treasures which are represented respectively by the characters '.' (period), '#' (hashmark), and '*' (asterisk). You can go through the floor tiles and treasures, but you can't get past the wall tiles.Initially, you are in a tile (??, Sy). You want to visit all the treasure squares, and retrieve the treasure. When you visit a treasure tile, the treasure is instantly retrieved, and the tile turns into a floor.In a move, if you are on a tile (?,y), then you can move to the right tile above (?-1,y), right (?,y + 1), down (? + 1, ), and left (?, 1) of the current tile. The tile you visit must…arrow_forwardProblem: Feed Nibble Monster Till Full Write a program that generates a number in [0, 500] at the beginning -- this corresponds to how hungry the monster is -- and keeps asking the user to feed the monster until that number falls to zero. Each time the user feeds the monster a nibble, hunger decreases by the decimal value of the character (i.e. if the user feeds 'A' hunger decreases by 65). But when the user feeds the monster some character that isn't a nibble, the hunger increases by the decimal value of the character (since puking depletes energy). Use while loop. Sample runs: Notice the loop exits after one iteration, because hunger was very low and one nibble made the monster full: Notice hunger increasing after non-nibble (pink highlight): Notice that the program just keeps going when the user feeds the monster only non-nibbles. Do you think the program will keep running forever if the user never gives the monster nibbles?arrow_forwardNice Number Programming: Nice program ask user to enter three integers from keyboard (java console), the three integers represent left bound, right bound and arbitrary digit 'm', where left bound is less than right bound. Program should print all nice numbers in the given range that doesn't contain digit 'm'. The number is nice if its every digit is larger than the sum of digits which are on the right side of that digit. For example 741 is a nice number since 4> 1, and 7> 4+1. with digit m=2. Write a complete program in Java that Call only One method (niceNumbers method) that will print all nice numbers excluding a given digit 'm' that also entered by user?arrow_forward
