Question

For this assignment, create a dice game that uses at least two classes. One will be a Die class that will simulate a 6-sided die. The program should simulate a dice game that rolls 5 dice for a player and 5 dice for the computer - the player's opponent. Use an array to keep track of the dice. If the player rolls 5 of a kind, they win. Otherwise, the scoring is as follows:

straight
(all numbers in sequence)

For both the computer and the player, display the value of the dice, the points earned by each and who won.

straight
(all numbers in sequence)

Explanation / Answer

Code:

Game.java:

public class Game {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      
       // array to store user's score
       int playerScore[]=new int[5];
      
       //variable to store player's total score
       int playerTotal;
      
       //array to store computer's score
       int computerScore[]=new int[5];
      
       //variable to store computer's total score
       int computerTotal;
      
       //instantiating an object of Die class
       Die die=new Die();
      
       //Rollin 5 dice for player
       for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
           playerScore[i]=die.roll();
       }
      
       //Rollin 5 dice for computer
       for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
           computerScore[i]=die.roll();
       }

       System.out.println("Player's dice ");
       for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
           System.out.print(playerScore[i] +" ");
       }
      
       System.out.println(" Computer's dice ");
       for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
           System.out.print(computerScore[i]+" ");
       }

       playerTotal=calculatePoints(playerScore);
       computerTotal=calculatePoints(computerScore);
       System.out.println(" Player's total= "+ playerTotal);
       System.out.println("Computer's total= "+ computerTotal);
      
       if(playerTotal>computerTotal){
           System.out.println("Player won!");
       }
       else if(playerTotal<computerTotal){
           System.out.println("Computer won!");
       }
       else{
           System.out.println("It's a tie");
       }

   }
  
   static int calculatePoints(int array[]){
       //this array will score the count of respective values;

       int possibleValues[]=new int[6];

       for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
           possibleValues[array[i]-1]++;
       }
  
      
       //count will store the maximum count for which any value is repeated
       int count=0;
      
      
       for(int i=0;i<6;i++){
           if(possibleValues[i]>count)
               count=possibleValues[i];
       }
      
       switch(count){
       case 1: return 35;
       case 2: return 20;
       case 3:return 30;
       case 4:return 40;
       case 5: return 50;
           default: return 0;
}   
   }

}

Die.java:

package Model;

public class Die {

   private int value;
  
   public int roll(){
       value=1 + (int)(Math.random() * 6);
       return value;
   }
}

Sample Run:

Player's dice
5   2   4   4   6  
Computer's dice
1   2   5   1   3  
Player's total= 20
Computer's total= 20
It's a tie

Player's dice
1   4   1   1   4  
Computer's dice
1   4   1   4   3  
Player's total= 30
Computer's total= 20
Player won!

Player's dice
4   6   4   1   4  
Computer's dice
5   2   4   3   1  
Player's total= 30
Computer's total= 35
Computer won!
