Rock Paper Scissors Game Instructions
In the game Rock Paper Scissors, two players simultaneously choose one of three options: rock, paper, or scissors. If both chose the same option, then the result is a tie. However, if they choose differently, the winner is determined as follows:
• Rock beats scissors, because a rock can break a pair of scissors.
• Scissors beat paper, because scissors can cut the paper.
• Paper beats rock, because a piece of paper can cover a rock.
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. Then determine the winner by comparing the user input and the randomly generated choice of the computer.
Additional instructions:
• The Program should validate all user input.
• Game should ask the user to play again and continue if yes and stop if no.
• Once the user stops playing, program should print the total number of wins.

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.
Step 4: If game piece is on the red space or moved off the end of the…

integer type.
Each one of the arrays corresponds to a row of the magic square.
The program ask the user to enter the values of the magic square row by row and informs
the user if the grid a magic square or not.

- Card guessing Design a strategy that minimizes the expected number of questions asked in the following game You have a deck of cards that consists of one ace of spades, two deuces of spades, three threes, and on up to nine nines, making 45 cards in all. Someone draws a card from the shuffled deck, which you have to identify by asking questions answerable with yes or no.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_forwardMagic 8 Ball Lab Introduction For this lab, you are going to build a simple magic eight-ball, so you no longer have to make any choices. On that note, if you haven’t, you should watch Interstate 60. All joking aside, you will build a 15 sided magic 8-ball, just for simplicity (an actual one has 20 sides for choices). If you are curious about all the choices, you can read up more on them here. Also, if you need a refresher on if statements, go here. Step 1 - Reading the code First take a look at the provided code. You should change the comments to include your name at the top of the file. Furthermore, you will notice all the functions are ‘stubbed’ out for you. This means we have provided the function signature, and a dummy return value that you will replace completely. We have also provided one function in its entirety, so you can use it as a sample/template to look at. def get_positive_answer(answer): ans = "You may rely on it." if answer == 0: ans = "As I see…arrow_forward

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_forwardChallenge Activity 1: Turtle Graphics (PYTHON): Hit the Target Modification Enhance the hit_the_target game program shown in the computer lab activity above, so that, when the projectile misses the target, it displays hints to the user indicating whether the angle and/or the force value should be increased or decreased.

- Fat Percentage Calculator One gram of fat has 9 calories. If you know the number of fat grams in a particular food, you can use the following formula to calculate the number of calories that come from fat in that food: Calories from fat = Fat grams × 9 If you know the food’s total calories, you can use the following formula to calculate the percentage of calories from fat: Percentage of calories from fat = Calories from fat ÷ Total calories Create an application that allows the user to enter: • The total number of calories for a food item • The number of fat grams in that food item The application should calculate and display: • The number of calories from fat • The percentage of calories that come from fat Also, the application’s form should have a CheckBox that the user can check if he or she wants to know whether the food is considered low fat.

Let the value of the board be the maximum number of dominoes you can place. Calculate the sum of values of the board over all 2w possible ways to paint it.
