Program Plan Intro

Creation of main method to compute a value to find greatest puzzler

Program Plan:

  • Define a method “shoot()” for simulation of a single shot.
    • It simulates shooting at “targetAlive” with given “accuracy”.
    • It generates a random number in between 0 and 1.
    • If random number goes less than “accuracy”, target is hit also “targetAlive” is set to false.
  • Define a method “startDuel()” for duel simulation.
    • Declare variables used in function.
    • Call “shoot()” method to simulate entire duel with this strategy.
    • It loops until one contestant remains.
    • It invokes shoot function with value for target as well as probability for hitting target.
    • It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
  • Define the main method.
    • Declare variables required for the function.
    • Call method “startDuel()” to simulation of a duel.
    • It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
    • It updates values for winners.
    • Display values of percentages of win.

Write a program that simulates a Magic 8 Ball, which is a fortune-telling toy that displays a random response to a yes or no question. In the student sample programs for this book, you will find a text file named 8_ball_responses.txt. The file contains 12 responses, such as “I don’t think so”, “Yes, of course!”, “I’m not sure”, and so forth. The program should read the responses from the file into a list. It should prompt the user to ask a question, then display one of the responses, randomly selected from the list. The program should repeat until the user is ready to quit. Contents of 8_ball_responses.txt:  Yes, of course! Without a doubt, yes. You can count on it. For sure! Ask me later. I'm not sure. I can't tell you right now. I'll tell you after my nap. No way! I don't think so. Without a doubt, no. The answer is clearly NO.
