Car Instrument Simulator
For this assignment, you will design a set of classes that work together to simulate a car’s fuel gauge and odometer. The classes you will design are the following:
- The Fuel Gauge Class: This class will simulate a fuel gauge. Its responsibilities are as follows:
- To know the car’s current amount of fuel, in gallons.
- To report the car’s current amount of fuel, in gallons.
- To be able to increment the amount of fuel by 1 gallon. This simulates putting fuel in the car. (The car can hold a maximum of 15 gallons.)
- To be able to decrement the amount of fuel by 1 gallon, if the amount of fuel is greater than 0 gallons. This simulates burning fuel as the car runs.
- The Odometer Class: This class will simulate the car’s odometer. Its responsibilities are as follows:
- To know the car’s current mileage.
- To report the car’s current mileage.
- To be able to increment the current mileage by 1 mile. The maximum mileage the odometer can store is 999,999 miles. When this amount is exceeded, the odometer resets the current mileage to 0.
- To be able to work with a FuelGauge object. It should decrease the FuelGauge object’s current amount of fuel by 1 gallon for every 24 miles traveled. (The car’s fuel economy is 24 miles per gallon.)
Demonstrate the classes by creating instances of each. Simulate filling the car up with fuel, and then run a loop that increments the odometer until the car runs out of fuel. During each loop iteration, print the car’s current mileage and amount of fuel.

Dice Rolling Class
In this problem, you will need to create a program that simulates rolling dice. To start this project, you will first need to define the properties and behaviors of a single die that can be reused multiple times in your future code. This will be done by creating a Dice class.
Create a Dice class that contains the following members:
Two private integer variables to store the minimum and maximum roll possible.
Two constructors that initialize the data members that store the min/max possible values of rolls.
a constructor with default min/max values.
a constructor that takes 2 input arguments corresponding to the min and max roll values
Create a roll() function that returns a random number that is uniformly distributed between the minimum and maximum possible roll values.
Create a small test program that asks the user to give a minValue and maxValue for a die, construct a single object of the Dice class with the constructor that initializes the min and max…

- The Spider Game Introduction: In this assignment you will be implementing a game that simulates a spider hunting for food using python. The game is played on a varying size grid board. The player controls a spider. The spider, being a fast creature, moves in the pattern that emulates a knight from the game of chess. There is also an ant that slowly moves across the board, taking steps of one square in one of the eight directions. The spider's goal is to eat the ant by entering the square it currently occupies, at which point another ant begins moving across the board from a random starting location. Game Definition: The above Figure illustrates the game. The yellow box shows the location of the spider. The green box is the current location of the ant. The blue boxes are the possible moves the spider could make. The red arrow shows the direction that the ant is moving - which, in this case, is the horizontal X-direction. When the ant is eaten, a new ant is randomly placed on one of the…arrow_forwardAssignment 10: Chapter 10 Complete Programming Challenge 10 at the end of chapter 10 10.

A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators. A toString method that displays the ship's name and the year it was built. Design a CruiseShip class that extends the Ship class. The CruiseShip class should have the following members: A field for the maximum number of passengers (an int). A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators. A toString method that overrides the toString method in the base class. The CruiseShip class's toString method should display only the ship's name and the maximum number of passengers.

A coin is loaded when it is constructed such that it is more likely to land on one value than another. Assume the probability the coin will land head is HEAD_PROB, and declare that as a constant in your program. Initially, use a value of 0.75, which means 75% chance the coin will show heads. Given this probability, simulate ten coin tosses and displaying the result. At the end, display the number of times the coin showed heads. The output should appear like this: Toss 1: HEADS Toss 2: HEADS Toss 3: HEADS Toss 4: TAILS Toss 5: HEADS Toss 6: HEADS Toss 7: HEADS Toss 8: HEADS Toss 9: TAILS Toss 10: HEADS Number of heads = 8arrow_forward

Diamond, Emerald and Gold. Diamond is 100 points, Emerald 70 points and Gold is 50 points.There are thieves in the game that will prevent you from hunting for treasure. Encountering a thief they steal some of your treasure. You will randomly generate which thief will steal from which treasure and how much.At the beginning of the game, the player has no treasure. X, Y, Z and H will be randomly identified at the start of the game. Define X Diamonds, a random number between X -> 100-200.Let a random number be defined between Y Emerald Y -> 100-200.Define a random number between Z Gold Z -> 100-200.You will define H thieves.

There are 4 possible troops for an army: Archers, Spearman, Cavaliers, Footman. Each troop has some attributes and some actions. And to avoid excessive programming and calculation, we want to treat these troops as squadrons. The player always starts with 10 squadrons of their choices: they can choose any combinations of the 4 possible troop types. Each squadron should have 100 members of that troop type. Each turn, the player is allowed to choose one of their squadrons and perform an action which is allowed by that troop type. Player and the AI take turns to make actions. The game continues until either the player or the AI has no troops left. Troop Types and Descriptions: Archers: should be able to attack from range with no casualties, meaning the attack action should not cause any damage to themselves. They should be pretty fragile to anything themselves. They…arrow_forward
