Chapter 9, Problem 9PE
Blackjack Simulation
Previously in this chapter you saw the card_dealer.py
▪ Numeric cards are assigned the value they have printed on them. For example, the value of the 2 of spades is 2, and the value of the 5 of diamonds is 5.
▪ Jacks, queens, and kings are valued at 10.
▪ Aces are valued at 1 or 11, depending on the player's choice.
The program should deal cards to each player until one player’s hand is worth more than 21 points. When that happens, the other player is the winner. (It is possible that both players’ hands will simultaneously exceed 21 points, in which case neither player wins.) The program should repeat until all the cards have been dealt from the deck. If a player is dealt an ace, the program should decide the value of the card according to the following rule: The ace will be worth 11 points, unless that makes the player’s hand exceed 21 points. In that case, the ace will be worth 1 point.

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 Spider Game
Introduction:
In this assignment you will be implementing a game that simulates a spider hunting for food using python.
The game is played on a varying size grid board.
The player controls a spider. The spider, being a fast creature, moves in the pattern that emulates a knight from the game of chess.
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.
Game Definition:
The above Figure illustrates the game.
The yellow box shows the location of the spider.
The green box is the current location of the ant.
The blue boxes are the possible moves the spider could make.
The red arrow shows the direction that the ant is moving - which, in this case, is the horizontal X-direction. When the ant is eaten, a new ant is randomly placed on one of the…

- 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.

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_forwardCIS 2275 C++ Programming Part I Program 6 Trivia Game In this program, create a simple trivia game for two players.

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.

- Question 2: Ben number (In Java)Ben had difficulty coming out with an assignment question, then he created an odd number called Ben number, which is the sum of a Ben series. Let x be the starting number and y be the bout number, in the Ben series, the x should double the value when it is an even number. In contrast, the number should be subtracted by 1 when x is an odd number. Both x and y should be greater than 0.Example of a Ben series, Assume the x = 3, and y = 5, then the series should be [3, 2, 4, 8,16]. Then the Ben number should be 33 because of 3+2+4+18+16.Thus, given the method benNumber(m,n), for all m, n > 0benNumber(2,5) should return 62 because 2+4+8+16+32 = 62benNumber(3,8) should return 257 because 3+2+4+8+16+32+64+128 = 257benNumber(1,1) should return 1Note that you can only use recursion to solve Q1 and Q2, and you cannot use any loop.

If the letter is incorrect, a part of a stick figure isdrawn. The player has a limited number of incorrect guesses before the stick figure is fully drawnand the game is lost. The player wins the game if they guess all the letters of the word before thestick figure is fully drawn.The program should have an array of possible words to choose from.

- Language is c++ Assignment 6 C: Minesweeper - Simplified. For many years, computers sold with the Windows operating system would contain a game called M inesweeper. The player would be presented with a grid, where they would have to click an empty part of the map. If they clicked on a hidden mine, the game would be instantly over. However, if they clicked a safe spot, a hint about nearby mines would be displayed and the player would click another spot. The goal would be to flag all the hidden mines without hitting one. (As an aside, many people did not know these rules and just clicked around randomly until they hit a mine)We will be developing a simplified version of this game. You will prompt the user for a grid size and then created a 2D array with equal width and height (C++ students: Check the Appendix for more information on how to do this). You will initialize the 2D char array with each element equallying a ‘?’ symbol.
