Craps is a single player dice game, that proceeds as follows:1. the player rolls 2 six-sided dice once if the total is 7 or 11, the player wins
if the total is 2, 3 or 12, the player loses otherwise, the game continues, ... see 2 ...
2. the player the continues to roll the dice repeatedly, until ... the total is the same as the original total (from 1), in which case the player wins
the total is 7, in which case the player loses
Write a function craps using Python that simulates a single game of craps (may be many rolls) and returns 1 if the player wins and 0 otherwise.
Sample results examples:
>> import random>>> random.seed(0)>>> craps()0
>>> random.seed(1)>>> craps()1
>>> random.seed(2)>>> craps()0
>>> [ (i,random.seed(i),craps()) for i in range(20)][(0, None, 0), (1, None, 1), (2, None, 0), (3, None, 1), (4, None, 0), (5, None,1), (6, None, 0), (7, None, 1), (8, None, 0), (9, None, 0), (10,…
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.

- Description: Raghu and Sayan both like to eat (a lot) but since they are also looking after their health, they can only eat a limited amount of calories per day. So when Kuldeep invites them to a party, both Raghu and Sayan decide to play a game. The game is simple, both Raghu and Sayan will eat the dishes served at the party till they are full, and the one who eats maximum number of distinct dishes is the winner. However, both of them can only eat a dishes if they can finish it completely i.e. if Raghu can eat only 50 kCal in a day and has already eaten dishes worth 40 kCal, then he can't eat a dish with calorie value greater than 10 kCal. Given that all the dishes served at the party are infinite in number, (Kuldeep doesn't want any of his friends to miss on any dish) represented by their calorie value(in kCal) and the amount of kCal Raghu and Sayan can eat in a day, your job is to find out who'll win, in case of a tie print "Tie" (quotes for clarity).

- Assume you are playing a card game using a standard 52-card deck. You are dealt a hand of cards that are all the same suit, hearts. You are dealt first a 5, then a 3, then 8, and finally 4. You first grab the 8. Next you grab the 5 and place it in front of the 8. Then you take the 4 and place it in front of the 5. Finally, you take the 3 and place it in front of the 4.

You can use as many piles and as many stones in each pile as you want, but in order to better understand the game, we'll start off with just a few small piles of stones (see figure 1 below). Pile 1 Pile 1 Pile 2 The two players take turns removing stones from the game. On each turn, the player removing stones can only take stones from one pile, but they can remove as many stones from that pile as they want (please note, a player must remove atleast 1 stone from a pile during his/her turn). If they want, they can even remove the entire pile from the game! The winner is the player who removes the final stone (avoid taking the last stone - see figure 2 below). Pile 2 Pile 3 Pile 3 Let's say its Max (player 1) turn to play. Then Max can win by simply removing a stone from Pile 2 or Pile 3 Draw a game tree (upto depth level 2) for the given version of the Nim game.

You must capture at least one of your opponent's pieces during your turn. When neither user has any more legitimate movements, the game is over. The winner is determined by who has the most pieces.

- Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. After painting the white cells of the board, you want to place the maximum number of dominoes on it, according to the following rules: each domino covers two adjacent cells; each cell is covered by at most one domino; if a domino is placed horizontally (it covers two adjacent cells in one of the rows), it should cover only red cells; if a domino is placed vertically (it covers two adjacent cells in one of the columns), it should cover only blue cells. Let the value of the board be the maximum number of dominoes you can place. Calculate the sum of values of the board over all 2w possible ways to paint it. Since it can be huge, print it modulo 998244353. Input The first line contains two integers n and m (1≤n,m≤3⋅105; nm≤3⋅105) — the number of rows and columns, respectively.

This game has two players, each of whom chooses one of the three objects: rock, paper, or scissors. If player 1 chooses rock and player 2 chooses paper, player 2 wins the game because paper covers the rock. The game is played according to the following rules: If both players choose the same object, this play is a tie. If one player chooses rock and the other chooses scissors, the player choosing the rock wins this play because the rock breaks the scissors. If one player chooses rock and the other chooses paper, the player choosing the paper wins this play because the paper covers the rock. If one player chooses scissors and the other chooses paper, the player choosing the scissors wins this play because the scissors cut the paper.

- Python tic tac toe. Tic tac toe is a very popular game. Only two players can play at a time. Game Rules Traditionally the first player plays with "X". So you can decide who wants to go with "X" and who wants to go with "O". Only one player can play at a time. If any of the players have filled a square then the other player and the same player cannot override that square. There are only two conditions that may match will be a draw or may win. The player that succeeds in placing three respective marks (X or O) in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game. Winning condition Whoever places three respective marks (X or O) horizontally, vertically, or diagonally will be the winner. Submit your code and screenshots of your code in action.

If you are not familiar with Peg Solitaire, then look it up online. Peg Solitaire is a game consisting of a playing board with 33 holes together with 32 pegs. In the picture above, the hole in the center is empty and the remaining holes contain pegs. The goal is to remove all the pieces except one, which should be in the center. A piece can be removed by jumping an adjacent piece over it into an empty hole. Jumps are permitted horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally.

Astronomy Board Game In an astronomy board game, N planets in an imaginary universe do not follow the normal law of gravitation. All the planets are positioned in a row. The planetary system can be in a stable state only if the sum of the mass of all planets at even positions is equal to the sum of the mass of planets at the odd positions. Initially, the system is not stable, but a player can destroy one planet to make it stable. Find the planet that should be destroyed to make the system stable. If no such planet exists, then return -1. If there are multiple such planets, then destroy the planet with the smallest index and return the index of the destroyed planet. Example Let N=5 and planets = [2,4,6,3,4]. Destroying the fourth planet of mass 3 will result in planets= [2,4,6,4], and here, the sum of odd positioned planets is (2+6)=8, and the sum of even positioned planets is (4+4)=8, and both are equal now. Hence, we destroy the fourth planet. Function Description Complete the…arrow_forward
