This will work something like the Olympics. There will be 3 different levels
of game you can try for. If you shoot for the low bar you better do it perfect
and if you shoot for the high bar, there will be some latitude in the grading
as well as some bleed over extra credit if you get it correct.

NOTE: Your variables and functions from this lab on are to be
saved in a particular format. If they are not, you will not get
credit for your assignment. Variables should be named with the
first initial of your first name, first initial of your last name,
following an underscore and the end of your variable name.
Ex: txtFirstName_nc

You will select a game for this project. It can be any game that requires
the use of a random number generator -- card games and dice games are the
easy selection here.
-
Higher scores will result from your proper use of exception handling and/or
User Input Validation (The user should not be able to break your game by
entering something unexpected).
-
You will create a game that matches one of the 3 levels listed below:
-
Low Bar - The easiest path is to design one side of a card or dice game
that runs until the user tells the game to stop. Each play should have
more than one cycle (hit me on Blackjack), this will require nested
statements. Your game should be able to determine a winning or losing hand.
Examples: Blackjack, 21, Craps
-
Middle Bar - In this option you will either take a low bar game
and make it work with 1 human and 1 computer player OR make a 1 player game
that has more intricate rules (ex: Poker or Yahtazee). If you choose
the more intricate game, your game should follow a play through to its
conclusion -- be able to categorize and score your options (per play not for
the entire game).
-
High Bar - Make a fully working game that keeps score for the entire
game. It must have at least 2 players. This is the high bar so rather than
telling me what your cards or dice are, show me with a picture. (Note: you
can do this with listBoxes, however, I suggest if you take this route, check
out Arrays in Chapter 8. Arrays will make this much easier.
-
Save your program to a file and take a screenshot of the output after
you have run your program. You will have 2 files that you will send as
attachments to your email (Your proof screenshot and a zipped solutions
project folder.
(DO NOT COPY AND PASTE YOUR CODE, PROGRAM(S) OR
SCREENSHOTS INTO THE BODY OF THE EMAIL. THIS WILL RESULT IN A GRADE
OF ZERO !)
Make sure to include your name and the assignment number you are
emailing.
