Assignment #4 - Assorted Games

Due: Wed, Oct 25

Objective

This assignment will consist of writing a couple functions and allowing the student to gain practice and understanding of random number generation, and general coding skills dealing with functions, loops, and conditionals.

Program Description

This program presents the user with a menu, on which includes three games: Guess the Number, High Low, and Collect Pairs. The menu also allows the user to view statistics, reset statistics and read rules of the games.

Filename: games.cpp

Start with THIS STARTER FILE. I've provided you all with a starter layout to help facilite starting your program. I've also provided you with the function declaration and definition for the printRules function for you. You'll just need to call it when appropriate.

In main():

  • Seed your random number generator
  • Enter a loop that: [1]prints the menu and obtains the menu entry from the user (calling your menu() function will help here). [2] Determines what the entry was based on the menu, and calls the appropriate function, and [3] repeats this process until the user quits the game by choosing 0.
    1. MENU OPTION 1: Call your guessNumber function to play the Guess the Number game.
    2. MENU OPTION 2: Call your highLow function to play the High Low game
    3. MENU OPTION 3: Call your collectPairs function to play the Collect Pairs game
    4. MENU OPTION 4: Call your viewStatistics function, passing in your total number of wins and losses.
    5. MENU OPTION 5: Reset wins and losses back to 0.
    6. MENU OPTION 6: Calls the printRules function that's already included in your program.
    7. MENU OPTION 0: Exits. Upon exiting, print the statistics one final time to the screen.
    Notice, the gameplay of each game happens in the appropriate functions for those games. The stats function takes care of all the statistics printing. main() is really only responsible for setting up the menu loop that determines which functions to call.

  • Required Functions:

    1. Write a function called menu: This function should not take in any parameters. It should present the user with the following menu:
      GAME MENU:
      --------------------------
      1: PLAY Guess the Number
      2: PLAY High Low
      3: PLAY Collect Pairs
      4: VIEW Statistics
      5: RESET Statistics
      6: RULES
      0: QUIT
      --------------------------
      >
      
      The user can select any of the options. If they select a number besides 1,2,3,4,5,6,or 0 print an error message and force them to re-enter until they enter a valid value (You'll need a loop to force a valid entry).
      When the user gives a valid menu entry, the function should return it back to main() so main() can access what this value was.
      Note, you do not need to account for a bad character entry here, only bad integer entries. See the sample runs below for exactly how your program should behave.


    2. Write a function called guessNumber.
      This function takes in no values, and returns a true or false value depending on if the user wins the game or not. The function takes care of all of the gameplay:
      
      Generate a random number between 1 and 100.
      The user then has 6 tries to guess the secret number. 
      
      If they guess the number within 6 tries, they win, and the function returns true back to main(). 
      If they do not guess the number within 6 tries, they lose, and the function returns false back to main().
      On each try, print out a message indicating whether the number was too big or too small.
      
    3. Write a function called highLow. This function takes in no values, and returns a true or false value depending on if the user wins the game or not.
      The function takes care of all of the gameplay:
      Generate a random number between 1 and 1000 as the starting random number.
      
      The user needs to tell us whether the NEXT random number will be Higher 
      or Lower than the current one, denoting this by entering H for higher or 
      L for lower. The user must enter H or L here. Do not let them proceed 
      until they do.
      
      If the user succeeds in guessing high or low correctly 5 times in a row, 
      they win, and the function returns true back to main().
      
      If the user gets any of their guesses wrong before 5 correct guesses, 
      they lose.
      
    4. Write a function called collectPairs. This function takes in no values, and returns a true or false value depending on if the user wins the game or not.
      The function takes care of all of the gameplay:
      
      The goal of this game is to obtain a pair of each type: 1's, 2's, 3's, 
      4's, 5's, and 6's when a pair of dice are rolled.
      
      Simulate rolling a pair of dice 100 times.
      
      When you encounter the first (and only the first) of any pair, print out 
      a message indicating that that pair has been found and accounted for.
      
      After the 100 rolls, if the user had encountered a pair of every kind, 
      they win, and the function should return true back to main(). If the 
      user did not encounter all of the pairs after their 100 rolls, they 
      lose, and the function should return false back to main().
      
      
    5. Write a function called viewStats that takes in two integer parameters representing the total number of wins and losses that the user has. This function should print the total number of wins, losses, and the winning % to the screen (to 1 decimal place precision). This function should NOT return a value

    You must have these 5 functions (explained above) in your program, in addition to main(), to earn points for these tasks. You're allowed to create any additional functions if you choose.



  • ABOUT THE SAMPLE RUNS: Since this assignment involves randomness, you obviously should not get the exact same values as seen below, but you should be getting SIMILAR values/percentages.
