- Bulgarian solitaire def bulgarian_solitaire(piles, k): You are given a row of piles of pebbles, all identical, and a positive integer k so that the total number of pebbles in these piles equals k*(k+1)//2, the arithmetic sum formula that equals the sum of positive integers from 1 to k. Almost as if intended as a metaphor for the bleak daily life behind the Iron Curtain, all pebbles are identical and you don't have any choice in your moves. Each move picks up one pebble from each pile (even if doing so makes that pile vanish), and creates a new pile from the resulting handful. For example, starting with[7, 4, 2, 1, 1], the first move turns this into [6, 3, 1, 5]. The next move turns that into [5, 2, 4, 4], which then turns into the five-pile configuration [4, 1, 3, 3, 4], and so on. This function should count how many moves are needed to convert the given initial piles into the goal state where each number from 1 to k appears as the size of exactly one pile, and return that count. These…arrow_forwardAssignment Description This program will simulate part of the game of Yahtzee! This is a dice game that involves rolling five dice and scoring points based on what show up on those five dice. The players would record their scores on a score card, and then total them up, and the player with the larger total wins the game. A Yahtzee score card has two portions: The upper portion has spaces for six scores, obtained by adding up all of the 1's, 2's, 3's, etc. The lower portion has special scores for various combinations: Three of a kind -- at least 3 dice are the same number;the score is the sum of all five dice Four of a kind -- at least 4 dice are the same number;the score is the sum of all five dice Small straight -- four consecutive numbers are represented, e.g. 2345;the score is 25 points Large straight -- five consecutive numbers are represented, e.g. 23456;the score is 30 points Full House -- three of one kind, two of another; the score is 30 points Yahtzee! -- five of a kind; the…arrow_forwardCIS 2275 C++ Programming Part I Program 6 Trivia Game In this program, create a simple trivia game for two players.

Thegame host gives the participant the choice of selecting one of three doors. Twodoors has a goat behind them and one door has a prize. The set of choices arerandomized each round. The participant needs to select the door with the prizebehind it. When the participant selects a door, the game host reveals a door with agoat behind it. The game host opens a door (different from the one selected by theparticipant) that has a goat behind it. The participant is then given the option tochange their choice. When you run your code, the code would display a message prompting the user toinput their door choice, labelled as 1, 2, and 3. Then the code will display a doornumber (different from the one the user picked) with a goat behind it and ask theuser if they would like to change their choice. The code then displays a message onwhether the user guessed the correct door. The game then…arrow_forwardThe Spider Game Introduction: In this assignment you will be implementing a game that simulates a spider hunting for food using python. The game is played on a varying size grid board. The player controls a spider. The spider, being a fast creature, moves in the pattern that emulates a knight from the game of chess. There is also an ant that slowly moves across the board, taking steps of one square in one of the eight directions. The spider's goal is to eat the ant by entering the square it currently occupies, at which point another ant begins moving across the board from a random starting location. Game Definition: The above Figure illustrates the game. The yellow box shows the location of the spider. The green box is the current location of the ant. The blue boxes are the possible moves the spider could make. The red arrow shows the direction that the ant is moving - which, in this case, is the horizontal X-direction. When the ant is eaten, a new ant is randomly placed on one of the…arrow_forward
- Rock, Paper, Scissors Game Create a application using (C#) in Microsoft Visual Studio that lets the user play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer. The program should work as follows.1. When the program begins, a random number in the range of 1 through 3 is generated. If the number is 1, then the computer has chosen rock. If the number is 2, then the computer has chosen paper. If the number is 3, then the computer has chosen scissors. (Do not display the computer’s choice yet.)2. The user selects his or her choice of rock, paper, or scissors. To get this input you use clickable PictureBox controls displaying some of the artwork that you will find in the student sample files.3. The computer’s choice is displayed.4. A winner is selected according to the following rules: •If one player chooses rock and the other player chooses scissors, then rock wins. (Rock smashes scissors.)•If one player chooses scissors and the other player chooses paper, then scissors wins.…arrow_forwardMadLib Game bigGame.py Write a program that plays a MadLib game with the user.

- Question 2: Ben number (In Java)Ben had difficulty coming out with an assignment question, then he created an odd number called Ben number, which is the sum of a Ben series. Let x be the starting number and y be the bout number, in the Ben series, the x should double the value when it is an even number. In contrast, the number should be subtracted by 1 when x is an odd number. Both x and y should be greater than 0.Example of a Ben series, Assume the x = 3, and y = 5, then the series should be [3, 2, 4, 8,16]. Then the Ben number should be 33 because of 3+2+4+18+16.Thus, given the method benNumber(m,n), for all m, n > 0benNumber(2,5) should return 62 because 2+4+8+16+32 = 62benNumber(3,8) should return 257 because 3+2+4+8+16+32+64+128 = 257benNumber(1,1) should return 1Note that you can only use recursion to solve Q1 and Q2, and you cannot use any loop. You are free to add helper methods, but you are not allowed to change the method header.arrow_forwardACME Bank’s new Pocket Money Saver account program, encourages school kids to learn the importance of saving money and manage expenses wisely, and you have been asked to design a software tool for rolling out this scheme to its bank customers. Write a console program, that will calculate the pocket money saved over a period, with one cent at the start of account setup, will double every day. For example, if the opening balance is one cent the first day, it will be two cents the second day, and continues to double each day. The console program you will write, should ask the user for the number of days, and display a table showing what the saving was for each day, and then show the total savings at the end of the period. The output should be displayed in a dollar amount, not the number of cents. A successful test run of the program is as shown in the screenshot below:arrow_forwardJava Questions - (Has 2 Parts).
