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 orice. 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.

Jack and Jill will play a game called Hotter, Colder. Jill chooses a number from 0 to 100, and Jack makes repeated attempts to guess it. For each guess, Jill will respond with: hotter - if the current guess is closer to her number than the previous guess is colder - if the current guess is farther to her number than the previous guess is same - if the current guess is as far (to her number) as the previous guess is For Jack’s first guess, since there is no previous guess yet, Jill will just answer same. Describe an algorithm or a systematic approach that Jack can follow to win the games faster (fewer guesses). Example: Jill chooses number 40. Note: Jack can guess any number from 0 to 100 at any point of the game. Jack guesses 100. Jill responds same (first guess) Jack guesses 60. Jill responds hotter (60 is closer to 40 than previous guess 100) Jack guesses 80. Jill responds colder (80 is farther from 40 than previous guess 60) Jack guesses…
A number maze is a k ×k grid of positive integers. A token starts in the upper left corner and your goal is to move the token to the lower-right corner. On each turn, you are allowed to move the token up, down, left, or right; the distance you may move the token is determined by the number on its current square. For example, if the token is on a square labeled 3, then you may move the token exactly three steps up, three steps down, three steps left, or three steps right. However, you are never allowed to move the token off the edge of the board. Design and analyze an algorithm that in O(k2) time determines if there is a way to move the token in the given number maze or not.
Blue-Eyed Island: A group of individuals live on an island until a visitor arrives with an unusual order: all blue-eyed people must leave the island as quickly as possible. Every evening at 8:00 p.m., a flight will depart. Everyone can see everyone else's eye colour, but no one knows their own (nor is anyone allowed to tell them). Furthermore, they have no idea how many people have blue eyes, but they do know that at least one person does. How long will it take for the blue-eyed individuals to leave?
You are hired by a game design company and one of their most popular games is The Journey. The game has a ton of quests, and for a player to win, the player must finish all the quests. There are a total of N quests in the game. Here is how the game works: the player can arbitrarily pick one of the N quests to start from. Once the player completes a quest, they unlock some other quests. The player can then choose one of the unlocked quests and complete it, and so on. For instance, let’s say that this game had only 4 quests: A, B, C, and D. Let’s say that after you complete • quest A, you unlock quests [B, D]. • quest B, you unlock quests [C, D]. • quest C, you unlock nothing [ ]. • quest D, you unlock quest [C]. Is this game winnable? Yes, because of the following scenario: The player picks quest A to start with. At the end of the quest A, the unlocked list contains [B, D]. Say that player chooses to do quest B, then the…
: You will build a simplified, one-player version of the classic board game Battleship! In this version of the game, there will be a single ship hidden in a random location on a 5 °ø 5 grid. The player will have 4 guesses at most to try to sink the ship. At each guess, the player names an attacking coordinate, that is (“guessrow”, “guess col”). The game ends in two conditions: (1) the player is out of guesses; (2) the player hits the ship. Examples are given in Figure 1. § The 5 X 5 board is shown every time the player inputs a guess entry. § The ship takes only one entry of the board, and it is randomly given before the player’s guesses. § The player inputs guessing entries in the Python console. § Entries that missed the ship are replaced by “X” on the board. § You must use a loop in your code. § Please submit your code and console screenshots to Blackboard. Code containing syntax error will be graded zero. Hints: 1. Create a variable board and set it equal to an empty list and…
A popular word game involves finding words from a grid of randomly generatedletters. Words must be at least three letters long and formed from adjoining letters.Letters may not be reused and it is valid to move across diagonals. As an example,consider the following 4 * 4 grid of letters: A B C DE F G HI J K LM N O P The word “FAB” is valid (letters in the upper left corner) and the word “KNIFE”is valid. The word “BABE” is not valid because the “B” may not be reused. Theword “MINE” is not valid because the “E” is not adjacent to the “N”. Write a program that uses a 4 * 4 two-dimensional array to represent the gameboard. The program should randomly select letters for the board. You may wishto select vowels with a higher probability than consonants. You may also wish toalways place a “U” next to a “Q” or to treat “QU” as a single letter. The programshould read the words from the text file words.txt (included on the website withthis book) and then use a recursive algorithm to…
This challenge is based on the classic videogame "Snake". Assume the game screen is an n * n square, and the snake starts the game with length 1 (i.e. just the head) positioned on the top left corner. For example, if n = 7 the game looks something like this: BEGINNING In this version of the game, the length of the snake doubles each time it eats food (e.g. if the length is 4, after eating it becomes 8). Create a function that takes the siden of the game screen and returns the number of times the snake can eat before it runs out of space in the game screen. Examples FIRST MOVE snakefill (3) snakefill (6) - 5 snakefill (24) → 9 3
