CS 140 Introduction to Computer Science

Project #4
(Due: 8/20)

The game of Pig is a simple two player dice game in which the first player to reach 100 or more
points wins. Players take turns. On each turn a player rolls a six-sided die. After each roll:

If the player rolls a 1, then the player gets no new points and it becomes the other
players turn.
If the player rolls 2 through 6, then he can either:
o ROLL AGAIN or
o HOLD. At this point the sum of all rolls is added to the players score and it
becomes the other players turn.

Write a program that plays the game of Pig, where one player is a human and the other is the
computer. When it is the humans turn, the program should show both the current turn score and
the current total score of the player. Allow the human to input r to roll again or h to hold.

The computer program should play according to the following rule:

Keep rolling when it is the computers turn until it has accumulated 20 or more points,
then hold. If the computer wins or rolls a 1, then the turn ends immediately.

Allow the human to roll first. Sample input and output runs are given on the next page.

In your cs140/ pr oj ect directory, create a J ava Source Code file named Pi g. j ava. Your
J ava program must begin with the comments below and follow the naming and coding
conventions posted on Blackboard 9.

/ / your name
/ / CS140, sect i on 01
/ / Pr oj ect 4 The Game of Pi g
/ / date

Generate a scr i pt file pj 4. t xt with appropriate time stamps and the following steps visible:

1. a pwd to show the current working directory
2. an l s to show the files in your cs140/ pr oj ect directory
3. a cat to display Pi g. j ava
4. compile Pi g. j ava
5. execution of Pi g (run your program at least twice with one case showing that you
win and another case that computer wins)

Turn in:
- A printout of pj 4. t xt , the run using the script command
- Soft copy of the program file, (using Blackboard)
