Fishing Game Simulation
For this assignment, you will write a
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 wants to fish for more items.
- At the beginning of each round, the program will ask the user whether or not he or she wants to continue fishing.
- The program simulates the rolling of a six-sided die (use the Die class that was shown in Code Listing 6-14).
- Each item that can be caught is represented by a number generated from the die; for example, 1 for “a huge fish”, 2 for “an old shoe”, 3 for “a little fish”, and so on.
- Each item the user catches is worth a different amount of points.
- The loop keeps a running total of the user’s fishing points.
- After the loop has finished, the total number of fishing points is displayed, along with a message that varies depending on the number of points earned.

- FaceUp card game In this assignment we will implement a made-up card game we'll call FaceUp. When the game starts, you deal five cards face down. Your goal is to achieve as high a score as possible. Your score only includes cards that are face up. Red cards (hearts and diamonds) award positive points, while black cards (clubs and spades) award negative points. Cards 2-10 have points worth their face value. Cards Jack, Queen, and King have value 10, and Ace is 11. The game is played by flipping over cards, either from face-down to face-up or from face-up to face-down. As you play, you are told your total score (ie, total of the face-up cards) and the total score of the cards that are face down. The challenge is that you only get up to a fixed number of flips and then the game is over. Here is an example of the output from playing the game: FACE-DOWN | FACE-DOWN | FACE-DOWN | FACE-DOWN | FACE-DOWN Face up total: 0 Face down total: -5 Number of flips left: 5 Pick a card to flip between 1…arrow_forwardAssignment 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…arrow_forwardMoving 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…arrow_forward
- Dice Rolling Class In this problem, you will need to create a program that simulates rolling dice. To start this project, you will first need to define the properties and behaviors of a single die that can be reused multiple times in your future code. This will be done by creating a Dice class. Create a Dice class that contains the following members: Two private integer variables to store the minimum and maximum roll possible. Two constructors that initialize the data members that store the min/max possible values of rolls. a constructor with default min/max values. a constructor that takes 2 input arguments corresponding to the min and max roll values Create a roll() function that returns a random number that is uniformly distributed between the minimum and maximum possible roll values. Create a small test program that asks the user to give a minValue and maxValue for a die, construct a single object of the Dice class with the constructor that initializes the min and max…arrow_forwardCIS 2275 C++ Programming Part I Program 6 Trivia Game In this program, create a simple trivia game for two players. It will work like this: Starting with player 1, each player gets a turn at answering five trivia questions. There are a total of 10 questions. When a question is displayed, four possible answers are also displayed. Only one of the answers is correct, and if the player selects the correct answer, they earn a point. After the answers have been selected for all of the questions, the program displays the number of points earned by each player and declare the player with the highest number of points to be the winner. The players will have the option of playing another round. The flow of the program will be: 1. Show the Header information. 2. Create an array of Question structs. 3. Read the questions from the text file. 4. If the questions were properly read, start a do-while loop. 5.

- (Physics: acceleration) Average acceleration is defined as the change of velocity divided by the time taken to make the change, as shown in the following formula: a = (v1 - v0) / t Here, v0 is the starting velocity in meters per second, v1 is the ending velocity in meters per second, and t is the time span in seconds. Assume v0 is 5.6, v1 is 10.5, and t is 0.5, and write the code to display the average acceleration.

- Bulgarian solitaire def bulgarian_solitaire(piles, k): You are given a row of piles of pebbles, all identical, and a positive integer k so that the total number of pebbles in these piles equals k*(k+1)//2, the arithmetic sum formula that equals the sum of positive integers from 1 to k. 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. These…arrow_forward# Coding - Simulate a robot Write a program that simulates the movements of a robot. The robot can have three possible movements: turn right turn left advance The robot is placed on a hypothetical infinite grid, facing a particular direction (north, east, south, or west) at a set of `{x,y}` coordinates,e.g., `{3,8}`, with coordinates increasing to the north and east. Create a Class `Robot` that contains a method `execute` which given a number of instructions will calculate the robot's new position, and the the direction in which it is pointing. ## Example The letter-string "RAALAL" means: Turn right Advance twice Turn left Advance once Turn left yet again Say a robot starts at `{7, 3}` facing north. Running this stream of instructions should leave it at `{9, 4}` facing west. ## Inputs and Outputs The argument of the `execute` is `string` in the format `X Y BEARING COMMANDS`. The method should return a one-liner `string` in the format `X Y BEARING`.

This function will receive an assignment then a grade should be calculated using the following formula: grade = 1 - (Student's current energy X Assignment difficulty level). The min grade a student may receive is 0% (0) After the grade is calculated the student's energy should be decreased by percentage difficulty. Example if the student has 80% (.8) energy and the assignment is a difficultly level .2 there final energy should be 64% (.64) = .8 - (.8 * .2). The min energy a student may have is 0% (0) Finally the grade calculated should be stored internally with in this class so it can be retrieved later.
