Assignment 1 (1)

The assignment requires the creation of a player vs computer game in C++ involving a pile of 20 sticks, where players take turns withdrawing 1 to 3 sticks, and the player who takes the last stick loses. It includes a user menu for game options, functions for game logic, input validation, and replay functionality, along with a grading criteria focused on code quality and logic implementation. The final submission should include the C++ source file and a screenshot of the program output.

Assignment 1

Objective:

The objective of this assignment is to create a simple game. This game will help you
practice the use of if statements, while loops, switch statements, and functions in C++.

Requirements:

Create a player vs computer game, the game begins with a pile of 20 sticks. The
player/computer take turns withdrawing 1, 2, or 3 sticks at a time. Whoever withdraw the
last stick loses the game.

1. Game Flow:

o The game should display a menu first, and the menu can look like this:

Welcome to the Game!


1. Play Game
2. Show Rules
3. Exit
o If 2 is chosen, game’s rules should be displayed; If 3 is chosen, the game will
exit; Otherwise the following flow should be followed.

o The program should generate a random number to determine who should start
the game.

o When it is the player’s turn, the program should perform input validation to make
sure that the entered number is between 1 and 3.

o When it is the computer’s turn, it should play according to the following rules:

1. If there are more than 4 sticks left, the computer should randomly
generate the number (1-3).

2. If there are 2 to 4 sticks left, then the computer should withdraw enough
sticks to leave 1.

3. If there is 1 stick left, then the computer must take it and loses.

o After a winner is determined, announce the winner and ask whether the game
should be played again.

2. User Menu:
o Implement a user menu using a switch statement to handle the player's choices:

▪ Option 1: Play the game.

▪ Option 2: Show the rules.

▪ Option 3: Exit the game.

3. Functions:

o Create a function void displayRules() that displays the game rules.

o Create a function void playGame() that contains the game logic.

o Create a function int getComputerNumber() that generates and returns a


random number between 1 and 3.

o Create a function int userInput() to validate the player enters a valid number (1,
2, or 3)

o Create a function bool askToPlayAgain() that asks the player if they want to play
again and returns true if they do, false otherwise.

4. Loops:

o Use a while loop to allow the player to keep playing until a winner is found.

o Use another while loop to continue playing the game if the player chooses to
play again.

Grading Criteria:

• Correct use of functions, if statements, loops, and switch statements.

• Proper handling of user input and input validation.

• Clean and readable code with comments explaining the logic.

• Successful implementation of game logic and replay functionality.

Submission:

Submit the C++ source file (.cpp) and screen shot of your program output on Moodle.
Ensure that your code compiles and runs correctly.
