Chapter 3, Problem 11PP
The game of Pig is a simple two player dice game in which the first player to reach 100 or more points wins. Players take turns. On each turn a player rolls a six-sided die:
- If the player rolls a 2-6 then he or she can either
— ROLL AGAIN or
— HOLD. At this point the sum of all rolls made this turn is added to the player’s total score and it becomes the other player’s turn.
- If the player rolls a 1 then the player loses his or her turn. The player gets no new points and it becomes the opponent’s turn.
If a player reaches 100 or more points after holding then the player wins.
Write a
int humanTurn (int humanTota1Score) ;
int computerTurn ( int computerTota1Score) ;
These functions should perform the necessary logic to handle a single turn for either the computer or the human. The input parameter is the total score for the human or computer. The functions should return the turn total to be added to the total score upon completion of the turn. For example, if the human rolls a 3 and 6 and then holds, then humanTurn should return 9. However, if the human rolls a 3 and 6 and then a 1, then the function should return 0.

Nim is a two-player game played with several piles of stones. 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. Please consider figure

Othello is played as follows: Each Othello piece is white on one side and black on the other. When a piece is surrounded by its opponents on both the left and right sides, or both the top and bottom, it is said to be captured and its color is flipped. On your turn, you must capture at least one of your opponent's pieces. The game ends when either user has no more valid moves. The win is assigned to the person with the most pieces. Implement the object-oriented design for Othello.
Stick or roll is a game involving two players, A and B, and a die with four faces (numbered 1, 2, 3, 4). The faces are equally likely to occur when the die is rolled. Player A rolls the die once and sticks with that number as the score or rolls it again and scores the sum of the two numbers. • If A's score is greater than 4 then A loses. • If A's score is 4 then A wins. If A's score is less than 4, then B rolls the die once and sticks with that number as the score or rolls it again and scores the sum of the two numbers. • If B's score is greater than 4 then B loses. • If B's score is 4 or less and equal to A's or less, then B loses. • If B's score is 4 or less and greater than A's, then B wins. Player B sticks on the first roll if that number wins and rolls again if it doesn't win and it is possible to win with a second roll. Some example games might be: • A rolls a 2, chooses to roll again and rolls a 3. A's score is then 5 so A loses and B wins. * A rolls a 2 and chooses not to roll…

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. Then n lines follow, each line contains a string of m characters.

The player is prompted for the numberof points to risk and a second prompt asks the player to choose either high or low. The player rollstwo dice and the outcome is compared to the player’s choice of high or low. If the dice total is between2 and 6 inclusive, then it is considered “low”. A total between 8 and 12 inclusive is “high”. A total of7 is neither high nor low, and the player loses the points at risk. If the player had called correctly, thepoints at risk are doubled and added to the total points. For a wrong call, the player loses the points atrisk. Create a DiceRollGame application that uses a DRPlayer object based on this specification. TheDRPlayer object should have two Die member variables that represent the dice. The Die class shoulduse a random number generator to determine the outcome in a roll() method. Application outputshould look similar to:arrow_forward

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).

The object of this game is for the user to guess the number of hard-boiled eggs prior to playing the game. The computer then simulates cracking all 12 eggs, using a random number 0 or 1 to simulate raw or hard boiled. The number 0 should represent raw eggs and the number 1 should represent hard boiled. The computer must keep track of the number of hard-boiled eggs. At the conclusion of cracking all 12 eggs, the actual number of hard boiled is compared to the user’s guess, and whether the user won or lost is given as output. The goal of this milestone is to use Coral to program one of the loops you will need for your finalized program in Project Two. This will help you define the logic, flow, and sequence of the game. For this work, you will write code in Coral for your selected programming game by accessing the activity in the zyBook. Note that links for each are…arrow_forward
- Q2 The Powerball Lottery 15 Points The Powerball lottery is based on a random drawing of six balls from two machines. One machine contains 69 white balls (labeled 1 through 69) and the other machine contains 26 red balls (labeled 1 through 26). To determine the winning numbers, the gamemaster draws five white balls from the first machine and one red ball (the "Powerball") from the second machine (assume all outcomes are equally likely). A player in the Powerball lottery picks five different numbers between 1 and 69 (inclusive) and a sixth number between 1 and 26 (inclusive), which may duplicate one of the first five numbers. For each of the following questions, you should write your answer as an expression. Do not give the final numeric value. For example, you should write C(4, 2)/24) instead of 0.375.arrow_forwardAGU Computer Engineering Department created a new mathematical game that can be played with two people.

- 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 both chose the same option, then the result is a tie. However, if they choose differently, the winner is determined as follows: • Rock beats scissors, because a rock can break a pair of scissors. • Scissors beat paper, because scissors can cut the paper. • Paper beats rock, because a piece of paper can cover a rock. Create a game in which the computer randomly chooses rock, paper, or scissors. Assign the number 1, 2, or 3 to represent one of the three choices. Let the user enter a number. Then determine the winner by comparing the user input and the randomly generated choice of the computer. Additional instructions: • The Program should validate all user input. • Game should ask the user to play again and continue if yes and stop if no. • Once the user stops playing, program should print the total number of wins.arrow_forwardRock Paper Scissors Game Instructions In the game Rock Paper Scissors, two players simultaneously choose one of three options: rock, paper, or scissors.
