Chapter 6, Problem 13PC
First to One Game
This game is meant for two or more players. In the game, each player starts out with 50 points, as each player takes a turn rolling the dice; the amount generated by the dice is subtracted from the player’s points. The first player with exactly one point remaining wins. If a player’s remaining points minus the amount generated by the dice results in a value less than one, then the amount should he added to the player’s points. (As an alternative, the game can be played with a set number turns. In this case, the player with the amount of points closest to one, when all rounds have been played, wins.)
Write a program that simulates the game being played by two players. Use the Die class that was presented in Chapter 6 to simulate the dice. Write a Player class to simulate the players.

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 _…

A dice game called "21"
It is a variation on BlackJack where one player plays against the computer trying to get 21 or as close to 21 without going over.
Here are the rules of the game:
You will play with dice that have numbers from 1 to 11.
To win, the player or the computer has to get to 21, or as close as possible without going over.
If the player or computer goes over 21, they instantly lose.
If there is a tie, the computer wins.
Starting the game:
The player is asked to give the computer a name. For now, we'll simply call the computer opponent, "computer."
The game starts with rolling four dice.
The first two dice are for the player. These two dice are added up and the total outputted to the screen.
The other two dice are for the computer. Likewise, their total is outputted to the screen.
Player:
If a total of 21 has been reached by either the player or the computer, the game instantly stops and the winner is declared.
Otherwise, the player is asked if they…
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…

Of course, the lending company will charge interest on the loan. Every periodic payment consists of the interest on the loan and the payment toward the principal amount. To be specific, suppose that you borrow $1,000 at an interest rate of 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly. Suppose that your monthly payment is $25. Now, the interest is 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly, so the interest rate per month is 7.2/12 = 0.6%. The first months interest on $1,000 is 1000 0.006 = 6. Because the payment is $25 and the interest for the first month is $6, the payment toward the principal amount is 25 6 = 19. This means after making the first payment, the loan amount is 1,000 19 = 981. For the second payment, the interest is calculated on $981. So the interest for the second month is 981 0.006 = 5.886, that is, approximately $5.89. This implies that the payment toward the principal is 25 5.89 = 19.11 and the remaining balance after the second payment is 981 19.11 = 961.89. This process is repeated until the loan is paid. Write a program that accepts as input the loan amount, the interest rate per year, and the monthly payment. (Enter the interest rate as a percentage. For example, if the interest rate is 7.2% per year, then enter 7.2.) The program then outputs the number of months it would take to repay the loan. (Note that if the monthly payment is less than the first months interest, then after each payment, the loan amount will increase. In this case, the program must warn the borrower that the monthly payment is too low, and with this monthly payment, the loan amount could not be repaid.)arrow_forwardCIS 2275 C++ Programming Part I Program 6 Trivia Game In this program, create a simple trivia game for two players.

Then, the starting X and Y positions of the desert corps unit as well as its base speed (all ints). Finally, the target X and Y positions (both ints) and the terrain type (std::string). Speeds are given as distance traveled in one full day (i.e., 24 hours) and is affected by the terrain type using a multiplier over the base speed.

Almost as if intended as a metaphor for the bleak daily life behind the Iron Curtain, all pebbles are identical and you don't have any choice in your moves. Each move picks up one pebble from each pile (even if doing so makes that pile vanish), and creates a new pile from the resulting handful. For example, starting with[7, 4, 2, 1, 1], the first move turns this into [6, 3, 1, 5]. The next move turns that into [5, 2, 4, 4], which then turns into the five-pile configuration [4, 1, 3, 3, 4], and so on. This function should count how many moves are needed to convert the given initial piles into the goal state where each number from 1 to k appears as the size of exactly one pile, and return that count.

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.
