Game description-
This game is played using a combination of variable, commands, and inputs from the players. To start the game the money variable is set at 100 which gives each player $100 to start. Then the playagain = true is used to start the game because it continues while playAgain = true and money is > 0. Once the game is started a series of input statements are used to ask the user to bet and amount and to guess the dice role. Then the roll command and imshow will roll and randomly appear two dice on the screen and sum the values. After this the if statements are used to go through what the player guessed and what the roll was an award the correct money. Then the user will be asked if they want to play again and can either type Y which will make playagain true and start the over with an updated money or select N which makes playAgain = false and stops the program.
Discussion Under-Over Seven:
The code starts off by presenting an initial pool of money and asking for a bet and a guess for a value under/over seven. It then continues by rolling a random number with 2 dies then evaluates the input value that was entered at the beginning and compares it with the rolled number by using if statements. Depending on the if statement results it then prints out a result and decreases/increases the initial pool of money given at the beginning and repeats until the user quits. The game didn’t have any issues during testing other than the betting pool being small, which was easily increased.
Conclusion and Recommendations Under-Over Seven:
The game is near perfection, the only thing needed is more graphics that don’t just show the rolled value. Other than that, the game’s presentation and idea is good to go. The ‘if’ statements were sufficient in doing the job.
