▪ Numeric cards are assigned the value they have printed on them. For example, the value of the 2 of spades is 2, and the value of the 5 of diamonds is 5.
▪ Jacks, queens, and kings are valued at 10.
▪ Aces are valued at 1 or 11, depending on the player's choice.
The program should deal cards to each player until one player’s hand is worth more than 21 points. When that happens, the other player is the winner. (It is possible that both players’ hands will simultaneously exceed 21 points, in which case neither player wins.) The program should repeat until all the cards have been dealt from the deck. If a player is dealt an ace, the program should decide the value of the card according to the following rule: The ace will be worth 11 points, unless that makes the player’s hand exceed 21 points. In that case, the ace will be worth 1 point.

Assignment Description
This program will simulate part of the game of Yahtzee!
This is a dice game that involves rolling five dice and scoring points based on what show up on those five dice. The players would record their scores on a score card, and then total them up, and the player with the larger total wins the game.
A Yahtzee score card has two portions:
The upper portion has spaces for six scores, obtained by adding up all of the 1's, 2's, 3's, etc.
The lower portion has special scores for various combinations:
Three of a kind -- at least 3 dice are the same number;the score is the sum of all five dice
Four of a kind -- at least 4 dice are the same number;the score is the sum of all five dice
Small straight -- four consecutive numbers are represented, e.g. 2345;the score is 25 points
Large straight -- five consecutive numbers are represented, e.g. 23456;the score is 30 points
Full House -- three of one kind, two of another; the score is 30 points
Yahtzee! -- five of a kind; the…

JAVA Programming Problem: In the game of "Assassin's Creed", you control a ship with a cannon which is attacking a large enemy Assassin's Creed, armed with many guns. Your goal is to destroy as many of the guns as possible. The battle field is a 2D Cartesian grid, where your cannon is located at the origin. The enemy Assassin's Creed is a horizontal line segment located from the coordinates (X1, Y) to (X2, Y). There are exactly (X2 - X1 + 1) guns on the ship, located at the integer points (X1, Y), (X1+1, Y), ..., (X2, Y). However, the problem is, you cannot always fire at a gun. There are supernatural rocks located at all points of the battlefield whose X and Y coordinates are both integers. In order to fire successfully at an enemy's gun, the line connecting your cannon and that gun must not go through any rocks. Develop a JAVA code to output the number of the enemy battleship's guns that your cannon can destroy. Test Case Result 1 2 2 -2

- Computer Science I need the code for this in Alice programming Faery Magic Create a world that has at least 5 different objects from the Furniture Gallery and one Faery from the Fantasy/Faeries Gallery. The Faery has the power to make an object disappear. Everything that the faery touches disappear from the scene. Create an interactive game where the user can click one object at a time from the scene; then, the faery faces that object and moves toward it. Write a recursive method named CheckDistance, that checks whether the faery is very close to the object clicked by the user. If it is, the faery bends over to touch the object. After the faery touches the object, the object disappears (this is the base case of the recursion). If the faery is not yet close enough to the object to be able to touch it, the faery moves a small distance forward and the CheckDistance method is recursively called (this is the recursive case of the recursion).

In trick taking games such as whist or bridge, four players each play one card from their hand to the trick, committing to their play in clockwise order starting from the player who plays 0irst into the trick. The winner of the trick is determined by the following rules: If one or more cards of the trump suit have been played to the trick, the trick is won by the highest ranking trump card, regardless of the other cards played. If no trump cards have been played to the trick, the trick is won by the highest card of the suit of the 0irst card played to the trick. Cards of any other suits, regardless of their rank, are powerless to win that trick. Ace is the highest card in each suit.

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.

- Tic-Tac-Toe For this question, you will be implementing a simple Tic-Tac-Toe game without the graphics. Here is how it works: • First, it is randomly determined if the user starts the game or the computer and this information is shown to the user. The player who starts always starts as "X". • The players (computer and the user) will then take turns in playing. The computer will choose a random empty spot on its turn. The user enters its choice in the console. • Each of the empty spots have a corresponding number that the players choose on their turn. If the user enters anything other than the number of an empty spot (not yet filled with "X" or "O"), it will not be accepted, and they will be prompted to enter a correct number. 2 4 7 8 • After each turn, two things need to be done: 1) displaying the updated board 2) checking if anyone has won (it should be printed who has won – the user or the computer).

There are over 40 possible items to be included in the lunch menu. For a lunch item we keep a 4 digits code, its name (up to 28 characters), and the number of calories (an integer). A parent (caretaker) can make for each of his/her children a lunch order everyday. All orders made are stored. If no order is made in a day the last order made will be provided. An order consists of maximum 6 items. Same item cannot be ordered multiple times in the same order. The order does not store the caretaker who made the order. The Entities are: PARENT, CHILD, MENU, ORDER 1. Relationship Strength: Weak or Strong? 2. Relationship Type: (M:1, 1:1 etc) 3. What are the Cardinalities? PARENT to CHILD? CHILD to ORDER?

Let us briefly bring these two opposites together by looking at positive integers that consist of some solid sequence of sevens, followed by some (possibly empty) solid sequence of zeros. Examples integers of this form are 7, 77777, 7700000, 77777700, and 70000000000000. A surprising theorem proves that for any positive integer n, there exist infinitely many integers of such seven- zero form that are divisible by n. This function should return the smallest such seven-zero integer. Even though discrete math and number theory help, this exercise is not about coming up with a clever symbolic formula and the proof of its correctness. This is rather about iterating through the numbers of this constrained form of sevens and zeros efficiently and correctly in strictly ascending order, so that the function can mechanistically find the smallest working…arrow_forward

The slot machine then displays a set of random images. If two or more of the images match, the user wins an amount of money, which the slot machine dispenses back to the user. Design a program that simulates a slot machine. When the program runs, it should do the following: Ask the user to enter the amount of money he or she wants to insert into the slot machine. Create an application that simulates a slot machine. The application should let the user enter into a TextBox the amount of money he or she is inserting into the machine. When the user clicks the Spin button, the application should display three randomly selected symbols. (Slot machines traditionally display fruit symbols.arrow_forward9. Trivia Game In this programming exercise, you will create a simple trivia game for two players.

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_forward
