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.
BLACKJACK
DO not use jquery strictly java script
Black Jack is a simple card game that is also often called 21. The point of the game is to get a value as close to 21 without going over. A player that obtains the score of 21 with only 2 cards is said to have a Black Jack.
Rules of the game:
There are 2 types of participants in a game of Black Jack, the dealer and the players. The players play against the dealer and not against each other. In order to win, the player must have a hand value superior to that of the dealer’s.
The game starts with each player receiving 2 cards, the dealer receiving 2 cards. Each player has the option to add an additional cards (1 by 1) to his hand (Draw) or to stay with the cards he currently has (Hold). If at any point, the player’s total exceeds 21, he automatically loses the hand (Bust).
When all players complete this process, the dealer gets to complete his hand. As long as the dealer’s point total is 16 or less, he must draw a new card. As soon as…
Description:
Raghu and Sayan both like to eat (a lot) but since they are also looking after their health, they can only eat
a limited amount of calories per day. 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).

- 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…arrow_forwardNim 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.

- Othello is played as follows: Each Othello piece has a white side and a black side.When a component is encircled on both the left and right sides, or on both the top and bottom, it is said to be caught, and its colour is reversed. You must capture at least one of your opponent's pieces during your turn. When neither user has any more legitimate movements, the game is over. The winner is determined by who has the most pieces. Othello's object-oriented design should be implemented.arrow_forwardEmail me the answers to the following questions. If you are not familiar with Peg Solitaire, then look it up online. Peg Solitaire is a game consisting of a playing board with 33 holes together with 32 pegs. In the picture above, the hole in the center is empty and the remaining holes contain pegs. The goal is to remove all the pieces except one, which should be in the center. A piece can be removed by jumping an adjacent piece over it into an empty hole. Jumps are permitted horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally. Your assignment consists of one required part, plus one extra credit part: 1. Explain (in words) why Breadth First Search and Iterative Deepening are not good methods for this problem.arrow_forward1. Astronomy Board Game In an astronomy board game, N planets in an imaginary universe do not follow the normal law of gravitation. All the planets are positioned in a row. The planetary system can be in a stable state only if the sum of the mass of all planets at even positions is equal to the sum of the mass of planets at the odd positions. Initially, the system is not stable, but a player can destroy one planet to make it stable. Find the planet that should be destroyed to make the system stable. If no such planet exists, then return -1. If there are multiple such planets, then destroy the planet with the smallest index and return the index of the destroyed planet. Example Let N=5 and planets = [2,4,6,3,4]. Destroying the fourth planet of mass 3 will result in planets= [2,4,6,4], and here, the sum of odd positioned planets is (2+6)=8, and the sum of even positioned planets is (4+4)=8, and both are equal now. Hence, we destroy the fourth planet. Function Description Complete the…arrow_forward
- Kingdom of Trolls is celebrating their Kingdom Day and one of the activities that is taking place is a game where a player rolls a magic ball down the hill on a path with spikes. As the ball rolls down, it strikes a spike and bursts open to release a number of smaller balls (in our simulated game, the number of smaller balls is a randomly generated integer between 2 and 6, inclusive). As the smaller balls further roll down, when one strikes a spike, that ball and all its sibling balls burst and each generates another set of smaller balls (using the same random number already generated for the first roll). The balls keep rolling downhill and striking spikes and bursting into smaller balls until a golden ball is released by one of the bursts. At this time, the game is over and the player is told how many balls were generated during the last burst (including the golden ball). The game is played by two players at a time and the player who had the lowest number of balls generated on the…arrow_forwardThe card game “War” is played by the following rules (you may have learned different rules. Use these): - Each player gets half of the deck of cards (in our case, a set of random integers with value 1-13) - The game itself is played in a series of “rounds”. In each round: o Both players draw a card, putting it into the “reward pile” (and removing it from their hand). o If one player’s card is higher than another, they gain all cards in the reward pile (and add it to their hand) o If there is a tie, both players add an additional card to the reward pile (which is not compared - I call this a “penalty card” in my sample run below), and then we begin a new round with a larger reward pile. The next round’s winner will win the entire reward pile (though it is possible to have multiple consecutive ties, leading to a much larger reward pile) - The game ends when a player needs to draw a card and cannot. That player loses. Your task is to implement this game with the player’s hands and the…arrow_forwardGame 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…arrow_forward
- Tic-Tac-Toe For this question, you will be implementing a simple Tic-Tac-Toe game without the graphics. Here is how it works: • First, it is randomly determined if the user starts the game or the computer and this information is shown to the user. The player who starts always starts as "X". • The players (computer and the user) will then take turns in playing. The computer will choose a random empty spot on its turn. The user enters its choice in the console. • Each of the empty spots have a corresponding number that the players choose on their turn. If the user enters anything other than the number of an empty spot (not yet filled with "X" or "O"), it will not be accepted, and they will be prompted to enter a correct number. 2 4 7 8 • After each turn, two things need to be done: 1) displaying the updated board 2) checking if anyone has won (it should be printed who has won – the user or the computer). The game goes on until someone wins or until all the 9 empty spots are filled and no…arrow_forwardThe Penny Pitch game is popular in amusement parks. Pennies are tossed onto aboard that has certain areas marked with different prizes. For example: The prizes available on this board are puzzle, game, ball, poster, and doll. At the end ofthe game, if all of the squares that say BALL are covered by a penny, the player gets theball. This is also true for the other prizes. The board is made up of 25 squares (5 x 5).Each prize appears on three randomly chosen squares so that 15 squares contain prizes.Create a penny_pitch application that displays a Penny Pitch board (use [ and ] toindicate squares) with prizes randomly placed and then simulates ten pennies being randomly pitched onto the board. After the pennies have been pitched, the applicationshould display a message indicating which prizes have been won, it any.arrow_forwardIn the Dice Roll game, the player begins with a score of 1000. 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
