Objective:
Write a program that simulates a game
of rock, paper, scissors between a human and a computer opponent in best of 3
rounds.
Requirements:
- Functionality. (80pts)
- No Syntax, Major
Run-Time, or Major Logic Errors. (80pts*)
- *Code that cannot be
compiled due to syntax errors is nonfunctional code and will receive no
points for this entire section.
- *Code that cannot be
executed or tested due to major run-time or logic errors is
nonfunctional code and will receive no points for this entire section.
- Clear and Easy-To-Use
Interface. (10pts)
- Users should easily
understand what the program does and how to use it.
- Users should be
prompted for input and should be able to enter data easily.
- Users should be
presented with output after major functions, operations, or
calculations.
- All the above must
apply for full credit.
- Determine the Winner of
a Round. (20pts)
- The user must select
either “Rock”, “Paper”, or “Scissors”.
- The computer opponent
must randomly select either “Rock”, “Paper”, or “Scissors” each round.
- A winner must be
determined by examining the user’s input and the computer’s selection.
- Rock vs Paper = Paper
Wins.
- Paper vs Scissors =
Scissors Wins.
- Scissors vs Rock =
Rock Wins.
- Each winner receives 1
point.
- In the event of a tie
there is no winner, and no points are awarded.
- If the user enters an
incorrect value, then the computer automatically wins that round and
receives a point.
- The results of each
round must be displayed – either a winner or a tie.
- All must apply for
full credit.
- Declare an overall
Winner or a Tie. (20pts)
- The program must
determine and display an overall winner after exactly 3 rounds via their
points.
- In the event of a tie,
then the program must display that the user and the computer tied.
- All must apply for
full credit.
- Replay the Game.
(20pts)
- Once the 3 rounds have
concluded, the program must ask the user if they would like to play
again.
- If the user answers
yes, then the scores must be reset and the game restarts.
- Otherwise, the program
must terminate.
- Coding Style. (10pts)
- Readable Code
- Meaningful identifiers
for data and methods.
- Proper indentation
that clearly identifies statements within the body of a class, a method,
a branching statement, a loop statement, etc.
- All the above must
apply for full credit.
- Comments. (10pts)
- Your name in the file.
(5pts)
- At least 5 meaningful
comments in addition to your name. These must describe the function of
the code it is near. (5pts)
Example Dialog:
*The following Example Dialog
demonstrates the interactions between a user and ONE possible implementation
of the required software’s front-end / user interface. The software’s
front-end / user interface may be implemented in MANY
different ways and will receive full credit as long as it meets the
most minimal of the above requirements. While you may use the example dialog as
a guide, it is strongly encouraged to create the front-end / user interface in
your own way. *
