Question
Using C++
Write a program that plays a dice game called "21"
It is a variation on BlackJack where one player plays against the computer trying to get as close to 21 as possible 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.
- Starting the game:
-
- Player Loop:
- 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 want to roll one die that will be added to their total.
- Or they want to stop.
- The player should enter an 'r' to roll the die or an 's' to stop.
- Player Loop:
-
-
- The player may continue rolling until they have reached 21 or over.
-
-
- Finishing:
- If the player total is > 21 then the computer is declared the winner.
- Otherwise, the computer has to make a decision to roll or to stop.
- If the computer total >= the player total, the computer stops.
- If the computer total < the player total then the computer continues to roll one die until the computer total is >= the player total.
- The winner is declared!
- Finishing:

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.

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. Hints : Have a function that draws the board Have a function that checks position if empty or not Have a function that checks player or won or not expected output:arrow_forward
