MATLAB is a powerful tool that can be used to program games and other simple programs. So the team members in Group B got together and made three games in MATLAB! The people who worked on these games were Peter Rulkov, Sam Worpinski, Bradley Piper, Joe Printy. These games included Black Jack, Over Under, and Hangman.
For Black Jack, a player plays head to head against the computer AI in the game engine within Matlab. The goal of the game is to achieve a higher card total than the dealer (the AI) without going over 21, if either the player or dealer do exceed 21, they lose. You may wager an amount corresponding to the coins listed on your dashboard when playing, and if you win, you double your bet. We will discuss the process of developing this game in the following pages, including a user manual, program description for developers, a before and after algorithm, the final program with notes, a brief discussion of the process and a conclusion with recommendations for those developing a game in the future.
Over Under is a single-player gambling game that involves two dice. The user begins with their own given amount of money and they bet a certain amount of money. The dice are rolled and the dice’s rolls are added together. Before the roll, the user enters if they think the roll will be over seven, under seven, or exactly equal to seven. If the user guesses correctly, they win money. If they guess incorrectly, they lose money. The user can continue to play until they quit or lose all their money.
