Program Plan Intro

Creation of main method to compute a value to find greatest puzzler

Program Plan:

  • Define a method “shoot()” for simulation of a single shot.
    • It simulates shooting at “targetAlive” with given “accuracy”.
    • It generates a random number in between 0 and 1.
    • If random number goes less than “accuracy”, target is hit also “targetAlive” is set to false.
  • Define a method “startDuel()” for duel simulation.
    • Declare variables used in function.
    • Call “shoot()” method to simulate entire duel with this strategy.
    • It loops until one contestant remains.
    • It invokes shoot function with value for target as well as probability for hitting target.
    • It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
  • Define the main method.
    • Declare variables required for the function.
    • Call method “startDuel()” to simulation of a duel.
    • It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
    • It updates values for winners.
    • Display values of percentages of win.

Write up Java source code for compiling and execution of program below. There is a very simple solution to keeping Tic-tac-toe fresh and interesting, though, and it has been thought up by a group of mathematicians. It’s being called Ultimate Tic-tac-toe and simply embeds a Tic-tac-toe board in each of the nine squares of the original game. Now instead of just winning the main board, you also need to win each of the smaller boards first until you have a line of three. New Rule: You can only place a mark on the board determined by the position of your opponent’s last placed mark. So, if they put an X or O in the top right corner of a square, your next move must occur in the top right board. By adding that rule the game is no longer about winning a single board, it’s about tactically managing up to 9 games at once and plotting ahead. You still win by marking three squares in a row, but that now involves winning three games.   The effects of the New Rule: 1: Your opponent can force you to…
Write a program that plays the tic-tac-toe game. Two players take turns clicking an available cell in a grid with their respective tokens (either X or O). When one player has placed three tokens in a horizontal, vertical,or diagonal row on the grid, the game is over and that player has won. A draw (no winner) occurs when all the cells in the grid have been filled with tokens and neither player has achieved a win. Figure 12.17 shows the representative sample runs of the example. Assume that all the cells are initially empty, and that the first player takes the X token and the second player the O token. To mark a cell, the player points the mouse to the cell and clicks it. If the cell is empty, the token (X or O) is displayed. If the cell is already filled, the player’s action is ignored.Define a custom class named Cell that extends Label for displaying a token and for responding to the button-click event. The class contains a data field token with three possible values—' ', X, and…
Write a code in Java Programming Your task is to simulate a coffee shop using the observer pattern (do not use the deprecate one). The coffee shop serves two types of coffee: espresso and cappuccino. The shop has two baristas, EspressoBarista and CappuccinoBarista. EspressoBarista generates random espresso orders between 1 and 3 every 2 seconds, while CappuccinoBarista generates random cappuccino orders between 1 and 3 every 3 seconds. The UML design diagram is shown below. Property ChangeListenerfac Observablenerfacto Coffeeshop HashMap Sting, integer> ingredients ExpresssCartate The CoffeeShop class holds the current stock of ingredients and the CoffeeShop constructor initializes the count for each ingredient. The required ingredients for each type of coffee are as follows: • Espresso: 1 shot of espresso, 1 ounce of milk Cappuccino: 1 shot of espresso, 2 ounces of milk, 1 ounce of foam If an order cannot be fulfilled because there are not enough ingredients, a warning message…
