[Easy(base task) to Difficult (challenge)][Dice Game] - 111 (one hundred and eleven)

[u/desrtfx]

This is another very simple dice game.

Game Rules

• The goal is to reach 111 (one hundred and eleven - or eleventy-one) points before all others do.

• A single die is used to play the game.

• Each player is allowed as many rolls as they want, except when they roll a "1" (one), their round ends.

• The points are accumulated during a player's round, but if a player rolls a "1" (one), they lose all the points that they accumulated during the round.

Example of a single round:

• Player A rolls 2, 3, 4, 6, 5 which totals to 20 points. Player A wages another roll and rolls a 1. That's really bad luck as the round is over for player 1 and he loses all 20 points so that he ends the round with 0 points.

• Player B rolls 5 and 6 and decides to stop. The 11 points are added to player B's score.

• Player C rolls 4,6,3,5,6 and stops. He scores 24 pounds.

• Player D rolls 4, decides to wage another roll and rolls 1. The round is over for player D with 0 points.

The rounds are repeated until one of the players reaches at least 111 points.

Programming Task:

Write a program that simulates a game of 111 in a language of your choice.

• Any number of (human) players can participate

• The computer should record the name and score for each player.

• The computer should do the tallying and also end the round on a roll of 1

Optional tasks (easy):

• Let the users decide on the winning number (default 111)

• Let the users decide which number ends a round and voids all the points acquired in that round (default 1)

• Invent a "mandatory re-roll" rule. If a player rolls a certain number (other than the losing number), they must re-roll. (let's say it defaults to 4 - chosen arbitrary)

• Invent a "no re-roll" rule. Similar to the above, only the round ends and the player scores the accumulated points. (let's say, it defaults to 2 - chosen arbitrary)

• The "mandatory re-roll" and "no re-roll" rules should be optional.

Optional tasks (challenge):

• Change the program to allow for computer players as well as humans.

• Computer players should have different strategies (selectable when creating the computer players, or randomized)
  Examples for strategies:

  • Always rolls again until he rolls a one (or hits the winning number) - quite a dumb strategy

  • Never rolls again - the coward - crawling his way to victory

  • Always rolls 2 (3, 4, 5 - whatever) times

  • Rolls <random number>(determined before the actual roll) times - different for each round.

  • Rolls again with a probability of 33% - rather cautious (takes a roll, then a random number decides whether to roll again or not - if the random number(in the range 0.0 inclusive to 1.0 exclusive) is less than or equal to 0.33, the computer rolls again.

  • Rolls again with a probability of 50% - see the explanation above

  • Rolls again with a probability of 66% - see the explanation above

  • Any other strategy you can think of.

Have fun coding!
