Chapter 3, Problem 10PP
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 1, then the player gets no new points and it becomes the other player's turn.
If the player rolls 2 through 6, then he or she can either
ROLL AGAIN or
HOLD. At this point, the sum of all rolls is added to the player's score, and it becomes the other player's turn.
Write a
The computer program should play according to the following rule:
Keep rolling when it is the computer's turn until it has accumulated 20 or more points, then hold. If the computer wins or rolls a 1, then the turn ends immediately.
Allow the human to roll first.

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,…
Simulate the dice game of lucky sevens. The rules are:
roll two dice
if the sum equals 7, win $4
if the sum is not 7, lose $1
Write a program that asks the user how much they would like start the game with. The program should then:
simulate the dice roll (using the random function) and show what was rolled
show what the user’s funds are after each roll
ask the user if they want to roll again
if the user wants to roll again, repeat the three actions above
if the user does not want to roll again give some response and end the game
the final output should show if they won or lost money, and how many rolls they played
Problem D: Different Dice Game
Consider the following game for two players:
The first player rolls a pair of dice of fair six-sided dice. If the two dice show different numbers,
the player's score is the larger of the two numbers. Otherwise, the player's score is the sum of the
two numbers.
At this point, the player is asked if they want to remove their lower die and re-roll one die. If
they say no, the player keeps her score and their turn is over. If they say yes, then they roll one
more die and the number showing on this die replaces the lower of the original two rolls. Then
these two dice rolls are scored accordingly. (For example, if the initial roll was a 2 and 5, if the
player doesn't roll again, she gets 5 points. If she does roll again and obtains a 4, her score is still
5. If she rolled again and obtained a 6, her score would be a 6. If she rollwed again and obtained
a 5, her score would be a 10.)
The second player goes after the first, doing the exact same steps as the first…

- "You have been asked to create a guessing game with four players. The players will be asked to guess which word will be selected next and earn points for each correct guess." The game works as follows: First: At the start of the game: Each of the four players is asked to enter their name and the amount of money they wish to bet on the game (only positive values less than $100 are allowed). The total of all four bets is the price money for the game. •The players will be asked to select which set of words they wish to use for the game. The options are: Fruit Colors Animals Each set of words must have at least seven options (You may choose your own words for each set). Once the players select a set of words the computer will display the full list of options. For example: You have selected the Fruit word set. The possible words are: Apple, Orange, Banana, Kiwi, Strawberry, Grape, Cherry Second: Each game will consist of seven rounds. Each round goes as follows: Each player is…arrow_forwardThe Game of Nim: The game of Nim starts with a random number of stones between 15 and 30. Two players alternate turns and on each turn may take either 1, 2, or 3 stones from the pile. The player forced to take the last stone loses. The computer player will make random choices during their turn. Your program must check to make sure that neither the computer nor the human player attempts to take 3 if there are only 1 or 2 stones left. The computer should only take 1 or 2 stones when 3 are left, and only 1 stone when 2 stones are left. Make sure you are using functions, importing random, and making it at around grade 10 coding levels, haha!arrow_forwardUsing C++ Dice game with varying dice (d4-d20) The game will consist of two or more players. Each player will attempt to reach a set number (say 100) By rolling dice and adding up the results of the dice roll. if the player rolls a certain number (in this case a 6) then the player gets two more tries, if they roll a 6 two more times, they lose their turn and gain no points that round. The goal to get to 100 first. During a round, each player takes a turn. At the beginning of the game, each player rolls a dice, with the higher roll going first each round. A player’s total score is the sum of their turn scores, the users will have the ability to choose either to stop or to continue after first roll, if a player decides to stop, then their turn ends and their score for that turn is their maximum roll during that turn, if the player decides to continue, they roll the dice again.

- The game of "23" is a two-player game that begins with a pile of 23 toothpicks. Players take turns, withdrawing either 1, 2 or 3 toothpicks at a time. The player to withdraw the last toothpick loses the game. Write a human vs. computer program that plays "23". The human should always move first. When it is the computer's turn it should play according to the following rules: If there are more than 7 toothpicks left, then the computer should withdraw a random number of toothpicks (from 1 to 3). Use the rand() function, as demonstrated in class to produce this number.. If there are 2, 3 or 4 toothpicks left, then the computer should withdraw enough toothpicks to leave 1. If there is 1 toothpick left, then the computer has to take it and loses. When the human player enters the number of toothpicks to withdraw, the program should perform input validation. Make sure that the entered number is between 1 and 3 (inclusive) and that the player is not trying to withdraw more toothpicks…arrow_forwardHow to attempt? Question : The Card Game One day, Fred and his N friends were playing a card game in which each player throws a card with a number written on it. The cards are such that a number X is written on front of the card, and the negative of that number is written on the back side of the card. This game has the following rules: - Each of the N players is asked to throw a card. After all the N cards are thrown, Fred has to flip one or more cards in consecutive order, only once. Your task is to help Fred flip the cards in such a way that the sum of the numbers, on front face of the cards, is the maximum.arrow_forwardInstallation of a Shopee Billboard Max. score: 100 You are installing a billboard and want it to be at the maximum height.

- Background: Game Rules The rules to the (dice) game of Pig: You will need 2 dice. To Play: a. The players each take turns rolling two die. b. A player scores the sum of the two dice thrown (unless the roll contains a 1): If a single number 1 is thrown on either die, the score for that whole turn is lost (referred to as “Pigged Out”). A 1 on both dice is scored as 25. c. During a single turn, a player may roll the dice as many times as they desire. The score for a single turn is the sum of the individual scores for each dice roll. d. The first player to reach the goal score wins unless a player scores higher subsequently in the same round. Therefore, everyone in the game must have the same number of turns.

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_forwardThere are a dozen eggs in a basket; some are hard boiled and some are raw. 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. PreviousNextarrow_forward
- 4) Roll the dice 2 Make a program that tests the probability of a certain score when rolling x dice. The user should be able to choose to roll eg 4 dice and test the probability of a selected score eg 11. The program should then do a number of simulations and answer how big the probability is for the selected score with as many dice selected. There must be error checks so that you cannot enter incorrect sums, for example, it is not possible to get the sum 3 if you roll 4 dice.
