A Game of 21
For this assignment, you will 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 agrees to roll the dice, and the player’s total does not exceed 21.
- At the beginning of each round, the program will ask the users whether they want to roll the dice to accumulate points.
- During each round, the program simulates the rolling of two six-sided dice. It rolls the dice first for the computer, then it asks the user if he or she wants to roll. (Use the Die class demonstrated in this chapter to simulate the dice).
- The loop keeps a running total of both the computer and the user's points.
- The computer’s total should remain hidden until the loop has finished.
- After the loop has finished, the computer’s total is revealed, and the player with the most points without going over 21 wins.

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

Monty Hall Problem – Coding Lab
In this lab, you will write a code that simulates the Monty Hall Game Show. Thegame host gives the participant the choice of selecting one of three doors. Twodoors has a goat behind them and one door has a prize. The set of choices arerandomized each round. The participant needs to select the door with the prizebehind it. When the participant selects a door, the game host reveals a door with agoat behind it. The game host opens a door (different from the one selected by theparticipant) that has a goat behind it. The participant is then given the option tochange their choice.
When you run your code, the code would display a message prompting the user toinput their door choice, labelled as 1, 2, and 3. Then the code will display a doornumber (different from the one the user picked) with a goat behind it and ask theuser if they would like to change their choice. The code then displays a message onwhether the user guessed the correct door. The game then…
Nim 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. Please consider figure

- (Simulation) Write a program to simulate the roll of two dice. If the total of the two dice is 7 or 11, you win; otherwise, you lose. Embellish this program as much as you like, with betting, different odds, different combinations for win or lose, stopping play when you have no money left or reach the house limit, displaying the dice, and so forth.

The program should work as follows:1. When the program begins, a random number in the range of 1 through 3 is generated. If the number is 1, then the computer has chosen rock. If the number is2, then the computer has chosen paper. If the number is 3, then the computer has chosen scissors. (Do not display the computer’s choice yet.)2. The user selects his or her choice of rock, paper, or scissors. To get this input you can use Button controls, or clickable PictureBox controls displaying some of the artwork that you will find in the student sample files.3. The computer’s choice is displayed.4. A winner is selected according to the following rules:• If one player chooses rock and the other player chooses scissors, then rock wins.

Each step, you may only walk into one of the four neighbouring squares (up, down, left, right) and you cannot walk into obstacles or walk into a square more than once. When you finish, you can get a number by writing down the digits you encounter in the same order as you meet them. For example, you can get numbers 9784, 4832145, etc. The biggest number you can get is 791452384, shown in the picture above. Your task is to find the biggest mumber you can get.

The programming language to be used is: JAVA Please write a GUI that implements a game, where the user has to click the buttons in the order of their numbering. * The 9 buttons are arranged in a grid of 3 by 3. Each one has a different number from 1 to 9. * If the user selects the correct button, it should turn green and become disabled. The score should beincremented by 1. * If the user selects the incorrect button, it should turn red and all the buttons should become disabled. * If the user selects the “Reset” button, all buttons should be white and become enabled, their random numbers should be reassigned and the score set to 0.

Resistance values are expressed in ohms (Ω) or kilo-ohms (kΩ). Resistors are frequently marked with colored bands that encode their resistance values, as shown in the Figure. The first two bands are digits, and the third is a power-of-ten multiplier. The Table below shows the meanings of each band color. For example, if the first band is green, the second is black, and the third is orange, the resistor has a value of 50 × 103 Ω or 50 k Ω. The information in the Table can be stored in a C program as an array of strings. char COLOR_CODES[10][7] = {"black", "brown", "red", "orange", "yellow", "green", "blue", "violet", "gray", "white"}; Notice that “red” is COLOR_CODES[2] and has a digit value of 2 and a multiplier value of 102.

- Java Programming Travel Tickets Company sells tickets for airlines, tours, and other travel-related services. Because ticket agents frequently mistype long ticket numbers, Travel Tickets has asked you to write an application that indicates invalid ticket number entries. The class prompts a ticket agent to enter a six-digit ticket number. Ticket numbers are designed so that if you drop the last digit of the number, then divide the number by 7, the remainder of the division will be identical to the last dropped digit. This process is illustrated in the following example: Step 1. Enter the ticket number; for example, 123454. Step 2. Remove the last digit, leaving 12345. Step 3. Determine the remainder when the ticket number is divided by 7. In this case, 12345 divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 4. Step 4. Assign the Boolean value of the comparison between the remainder and the digit dropped from the ticket number. Step 5. Display the result—true or false—in a message box.

For many years, computers sold with the Windows operating system would contain a game called M inesweeper. The player would be presented with a grid, where they would have to click an empty part of the map. If they clicked on a hidden mine, the game would be instantly over. However, if they clicked a safe spot, a hint about nearby mines would be displayed and the player would click another spot. The goal would be to flag all the hidden mines without hitting one. (As an aside, many people did not know these rules and just clicked around randomly until they hit a mine)We will be developing a simplified version of this game. You will prompt the user for a grid size and then created a 2D array with equal width and height (C++ students: Check the Appendix for more information on how to do this).
