Fishing Game Simulation
Write a
Here are some suggestions for the game’s design:
- Each round of the game is performed as an iteration of a loop that repeats as long as the player wants to fish for more items.
- At the beginning of each round, the program will ask the user whether or not they want to continue fishing.
- The program simulates the rolling of a six-sided die. (Use the die class that was demonstrated in Chapter 4.)
- Each item that can be caught is represented by a number generated from the die. For example, 1 for “a huge fish”, 2 for “an old shoe”, 3 for “a little fish”, and so on.
- Each item the user catches is worth a different amount of points.
- The loop keeps a running total of the user’s fishing points.
- After the loop has finished, the total number of fishing points is displayed, along with a message that varies depending on the number of points earned.

Game Description:
Pig is a game that has two players (in our case one human and one computer) that alternate turns. Each player’s goal is to get 100 points rolled on a normal six-sided die first. Each turn consists of the rolling the die repeatedly until you get a 1 or decide to stop. As long as you roll a 2-6, you will add this amount to your total for that turn. But if you roll a 1 during your turn, your turn ends and you receive zero points for that entire turn (erasing all of the progress you made since you last agreed to stop). If you decide to stop rolling at any point in your turn, your points for that turn are then added to the overall score. The overall score is then safe from future rolls. The trick is knowing how long to push it before we should stop and save our gains. See end of this document for an example of a game of pig
we should write coding as below
In order to explore what is the best strategy for the computer player (i.e. at what score do we stop each computer…
Theater Ticket System: A small ten-seat theater has contracted you to build software which will reserve tickets. The theater has two rows of five seats each. Each row is referred to by number (1 or 2) and each seat in the row is referred to by letter (A, B, C, D, and E). When started, the program should ask the user for the row they prefer (row selection). If that row has no empty seats then the program should ask the user if they prefer the other row, if no then display a message stating the next show is tomorrow. Upon selecting a row, the program should present the user with a choice of available seats in the row. The user can then either choose a seat and print the ticket (in this case a simple message will suffice) or return to row selection. If a ticket is printed the program should return to row selection. The program terminates when all seats are reserved.

- Assignment Description This program will simulate part of the game of Yahtzee! This is a dice game that involves rolling five dice and scoring points based on what show up on those five dice. The players would record their scores on a score card, and then total them up, and the player with the larger total wins the game. 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_forwardcheck_game_over(): as the name suggests, this function should check to see if the game is over (if one side has no stones left in all of its pockets).

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.

The circle represents the initial location of the game piece. Yellow Black Green Green Red Yellow Yellow Black Black Black The following algorithm indicates how the game is played. The game continues until the game is either won by landing on the red space or lost when the piece moves off either end of the board. Step 1: Place a game piece on a space that is not red and set a counter to 0. Step 2: If the game piece is on a yellow space, move the game piece 3 positions to the left and go to step 3. Otherwise, if the game piece is on a black space, move the game piece 1 position to the left and go to step 3. Otherwise, if the game piece is on a green space, move the game piece 2 positions to the right and go to step 3. Step 3: Increase the value of the counter by 1.

- Please provide answer in C#: Slot Machine Simulation A slot machine is a gambling device into which the user inserts money and then pulls a lever (or presses a button). The slot machine then displays a set of random images. If two or more of the images match, the user wins an amount of money that the slot machine dispenses back to the user. Create an application that simulates a slot machine. Figure 8-23 (on page 539 of your book) shows an example of how the form should look. The application should let the user enter into a TextBox the amount of money he or she is inserting into the machine. When the user clicks the Spin button, the application should display three randomly selected symbols. (Slot machines traditionally display fruit symbols. You will find a set of fruit symbols attached to this dropbox for your use - from the Student Sample Programs provided by the book author.)
