Using Methods

[Shaylen Patel]

The dice game Chicago has eleven rounds numbered 2 -12. In each round, the player tries to
roll and score the number of the round, the numbers being the possible combinations with 2
dice.
If a player throws the correct number for that round they score 1 point (e.g., if they roll a 4
and a 2 for round 6, they score a point). If they throw any other number they don’t score (e.g.
if they roll a 5 and a 3 for round 10, they do NOT score a point). The highest total after 11
rounds wins the game. If there is a tie for the highest score, then a winner cannot be
determined.
You will need to add two additional methods to the Chicago class called play and winner that are
implemented as follows:

Method play:
Return value: int (the number of points to add to the player’s score: 0 or 1)
Method name: play
Parameter list: one parameter – an integer representing the round number (i.e. int
roundNumber)
Algorithm: (determine number of points to add to current score)
-If the sum of FaceValue1 and FaceValue2 is equal to the roundNumber return 1
(a point is given)
-Otherwise, return 0 (no point is given)

Method winner:
-Return value: int (the number of the player who has the greatest score: 1, 2, 3, 4 for
player 1, player 2, player 3, and player 4, respectively. Return 0 if no player can be
determined)
-Method name: winner
-Parameter List: four parameters – four integers, one for each player's score
-Algorithm: determine which player number has won. The score must be greater than
all the other scores, NOT greater than or equal. For example, who wins if the following
is true?

Client Program PlayChicago.java:
Algorithm:
Create a for- loop that will iterate from 2 to 12 (the round number)
For each player, you will need to roll the dice and play this round by calling the
appropriate methods in Chicago. You will have 8 statements in this for-loop, 2
for each player. Also, remember to use your compound assignment operator.
Once rounds 2 through 12 are completed, call Chicago's winner method with
the four players' scores. The value returned is the player number of the winning
player. Note that if there’s a tie for the high score, then no winner is determined.

this is what i have for playChicago

import java.util.*;
public class PlayChicago
{
public static void main(String [ ] args)
{
//Declare variables and instantiate objects
Chicago player1 = new Chicago();
Chicago player2 = new Chicago();
Chicago player3 = new Chicago();
Chicago player4 = new Chicago();

int p1=0, p2=0, p3=0, p4=0;
int playerWinner;
final int ROLLS = 6;
Die die1 = new Die();
Die die2 = new Die();

// Play Chicago
for(int roll = 1; roll <=ROLLS; roll++)
{
num1 = die1.roll();
num2 = die2.roll();

// Determine the winner


// Output the winner and scores
System.out.println("Player 1's score: " + p1 +
"\nPlayer 2's score: " + p2 +
"\nPlayer 3's score: " + p3 +
"\nPlayer 4's score: " + p4 + "\n");

if (playerWinner == 0)
System.out.println("A winner could not be determined");
else
System.out.println("Player " + playerWinner + " won!");

}
}

and this is the client program

public class Chicago
{
private final int MAX = 6; // maximum face value

private int faceValue1; // current value showing on the die
private int faceValue2;
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// Constructor: sets the initial face value.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
public Chicago()
{
faceValue1 = 0;
faceValue2 = 0;
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// Rolls the die and returns the result.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
public void roll()
{
faceValue1 = (int) (Math.random() * MAX) + 1;
faceValue2 = (int) (Math.random() * MAX) + 1;

}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// Face value mutator. The face value is not modified if the
// specified value is not valid.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
public void setFaceValue (int value)
{
if (value > 0 && value <= MAX)
faceValue1 = value;
faceValue2 = value;
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------
// Face value accessor.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------
public int getFaceValue1()
{
return faceValue1;
}

public int getFaceValue2()
{
return faceValue2;
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// Play method to determine if this player scores a point or not
//------------------------------------------------------------------



//------------------------------------------------------------------
// Winner method to determine who wins the game
//------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a lot posted here, but I don't see an actual question. Is there something specific you need help with?
