Heads or TaiLs Game
This game is meant for two or more players. In this game, the players take turns flipping a coin. Before the coin is flipped, players should guess if the coin will land face up or face down. If a player guesses correctly, then that player is awarded a point. If a player guesses incorrectly, then that player will lose a point. The first player to score five points is the winner.
Write a program that simulates the game being played by two players. Use the Coin class that you wrote as an assignment in Chapter 6 (

AGU Computer Engineering Department created a new mathematical game that can be played with two people. In this game, you are given a list of random integers. At each round, the first player takes two numbers from the list and calculates the sum of these numbers. Then, the second player takes two numbers and makes the same calculation. The higher one is going to take the round and increment the score by 1. At the end of the game, who has the better score will win the game.
Here are the rules for the game:
There are always an even number of items on the list
There are two colors for the players: Green and Red
Green starts the game
At each round, green plays and then red plays
The player takes the first and the last numbers
The game can end Tie when the scores are the same.
The game will end when there is no element to take from the list
Your program will simulate the rounds and find out the winner, Green or Red or Tie. The input will be two lines.

Scissor, rock, paper
Write a program called GameSRP.java that plays the popular scissor-rock-paper game where a scissor can cut paper, a rock kan nock a scissor and a paper can wrap a
rock. The program asks the user for one of the options (1 for scissor, 2 for rock or 3 for paper) and then randomly picks one of them for the computer. It then presents if
you or the computer won, or if it was a draw. If the user enters 0 the program will end and display the total score (number of wins for you and the computer and the draws).
Here is a sample run:
Scissor (1), rock (2), paper (3) or 0 to quit: 1
You lost, computer had rock!
Scissor (1), rock (2), paper (3) or 0 to quit: 2
It's a draw!

- 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 1 as your initial game configuration/state…arrow_forwardThe game of "23" is a two-player game that begins with a pile of 23 toothpicks. Players take turns, withdrawing either 1, 2 or 3 toothpicks at a time. The player to withdraw the last toothpick loses the game. Write a human vs. computer program that plays "23". The human should always move first. When it is the computer's turn it should play according to the following rules: If there are more than 7 toothpicks left, then the computer should withdraw a random number of toothpicks (from 1 to 3). Use the rand() function, as demonstrated in class to produce this number.. If there are 2, 3 or 4 toothpicks left, then the computer should withdraw enough toothpicks to leave 1. If there is 1 toothpick left, then the computer has to take it and loses. When the human player enters the number of toothpicks to withdraw, the program should perform input validation. Make sure that the entered number is between 1 and 3 (inclusive) and that the player is not trying to withdraw more toothpicks…arrow_forwardUsing C# in Microsoft Visual Studio create an application that lets the user play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer.

- The Game of Nim: The game of Nim starts with a random number of stones between 15 and 30. Two players alternate turns and on each turn may take either 1, 2, or 3 stones from the pile. The player forced to take the last stone loses. The computer player will make random choices during their turn. Your program must check to make sure that neither the computer nor the human player attempts to take 3 if there are only 1 or 2 stones left. The computer should only take 1 or 2 stones when 3 are left, and only 1 stone when 2 stones are left. Make sure you are using functions, importing random, and making it at around grade 10 coding levels, haha!arrow_forwardSimulate the dice game of lucky sevens. The rules are: roll two dice if the sum equals 7, win $4 if the sum is not 7, lose $1 Write a program that asks the user how much they would like start the game with. The program should then: simulate the dice roll (using the random function) and show what was rolled show what the user’s funds are after each roll ask the user if they want to roll again if the user wants to roll again, repeat the three actions above if the user does not want to roll again give some response and end the game the final output should show if they won or lost money, and how many rolls they playedarrow_forwardYou have a maze with obstacles and non-zero digits in it: 9+ 7 8 + 4 1 2 3 4 5 You can start from any square, walk in the maze, and finally stop at some square. 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. Input There will be at most 25 test cases. Each test begins with two integers R and C (2 < R,C < 15, R+C < 30), the number of rows and columns of the maze. The next R rows represent the maze. Each line contains exactly C characters (without leading or trailing spaces), each of them will be either # or one of the nine non-zero digits. There will be at least one non-obstacle…arrow_forward
- A video player plays a game in which the character competes in a hurdle race. Hurdles are of varying heights, and the characters have a maximum height they can jump. There is a magic potion they can take that will increase their maximum jump height by unit for each dose. How many doses of the potion must the character take to be able to jump all of the hurdles. If the character can already clear all of the hurdles, return . Example The character can jump unit high initially and must take doses of potion to be able to jump all of the hurdles.

Trivia Game In this programming exercise, you will create a simple trivia game for two players. The program will work like this: Starting with player 1, each player gets a turn at answering 5 trivia questions. (There should be a total of 10 questions.) When a question is displayed, 4 possible answers are also displayed. Only one of the answers is correct, and if the player selects the correct answer, he or she earns a point. After answers have been selected for all the questions, the program displays the number of points earned by each player and declares the player with the highest number of points the winner. To create this program, write a Question class to hold the data for a trivia question. The Question class should have attributes for the following data: A trivia question Possible answer 1 Possible answer 2 Possible answer 3 Possible answer 4 The number of the correct answer (1, 2, 3, or 4) The Question class also should have an appropriate _…arrow_forward9.
