Dice Game with Objects

• Java basics - declaring variables, assigning values to variables, using math functions, using utility classes such as Scanner and Random, reading from and writing to console.
• Selections - if, if-else, conditional operators, switch.
• Loops - loop with counters, play again loop.
• Methods - implement class methods and invoke in main method.
• Objects and Classes - implementing object classes, instantiating object class objects, and using the objects to perform functions in a driver class

Exercise Overview

Implement a Java program that simulates the rolling of 2 dice and then evaluates the dice roll to determine points scored based on the game's rules. Total points are the sum of the 2 dice plus bonus points for rolling a pair, a 7, or an 11.

• Player starts the game by entering their name.
• Player enters the number of turns (rolls) they wish to have in the game.
• Player rolls the dice.
• The system shows the points scored based on the roll and the bonus point rules.
• Game repeats for the designated number of turns.
• Player has the option to play again.

Functional Requirements (how the code will work from the user perspective)

• System prompts the player for their name and reads the input via Scanner.
• System displays a welcome message to the user on the console, including the user's name, and prints the rules of the game.
• System prompts the user to begin the game.
• Player is prompted for and enters in the number of turns (rolls) they with to play for their game.
• System rolls the dice and displays the dice values.
• System evaluates the dice values and calculates total score.
• Score components are printed on the console.
• The roll of the dice, evaluation, and score printing is repeated for the number of turns designated.
• Player is prompted as to whether they wish to play again.
• End the game by printing an end-of-game message.

Technical Requirements (how you must code it)

The system should include the following Java components:

• 3 classes - Driver ([your_name]_Project_5), Game, and Session.
• Driver class. Contains the main method and instantiates and uses objects from the other 2 classes.
  • Driver class instantiates objects, includes the do-while loop, invokes methods on the objects.
    • Instantiate objects from Scanner (input), Game (game), and Session (session).
    • Declare variables. There is only the String playAgain variable.
    • Invoke pre-game methods, session.getName and session.prtIntro.
    • Initiate the do-while loop with variable playAgain.
    • Invoke the session.setTurns method to prompt for, read-in, and store the number of turns.
    • Initiate a for loop or while loop to manage the number of turns played.
    • Use playAgain to prompt for and read-in Y or N to stay in or exit the do-while loop.
    • Invoke prtOutro method.
• Game class. Includes most of the variables and methods that were used in Project 3, but with some modifications.
  • Game class includes the variables and methods associated with the dice game, and has the major sections, Instantiate Objects, Declare Variables, Define Constructors, and Define Methods.
    • Instantiate Objects
      • The Game class must instantiate a Random (random) object.
    • Declare Variables.
      • All variables declared in Game class must have a private visibility modifier.
      • die1, die2
      • sum
      • pairBonus
      • seven11Bonus
      • total
      • tempDie
    • Define Constructors.
      • No explicit constructors need be defined but include a section comment for Define Constructors with no constructors listed.
    • Define Methods.
      • setDice - assigns the random int values to die1 and die2, and assigns the value to the variable sum.
      • sortDice - sequences the dice so that the value of die1 is less than or equal to the value of die2.
      • getDie1 - returns the die1 value.
      • getDie2 - returns the die2 value.
      • getSum - returns the sum value.
      • setPairBonus - evaluates the dice for a pair bonus and sets the variable pairBonus to either 0 or 6.
      • getPairBonus - returns the value of the var pairBonus.
      • setSeven11Bonus - evaluates the dice for 7-11 bonus and sets the variable seven11Bonus to either 0 or 5.
      • getSeven11Bonus - returns the value of the variable seven11Bonus.
      • setTotal - sets the variable total to the sum of the variables sum, pairBonus, and seven11Bonus.
      • getTotal - returns the value of the variable total.
• Session class. Includes the administrative variables and methods associated with the player's session.
  • Session class includes the variables and methods associated with the management of the player's session and has the major sections, Instantiate Objects, Declare Variables, Define Constructors, and Define Methods.
    • Instantiate Objects
      • The Session class must instantiate a Scanner(scan) object.
    • Declare Variables
      • All variables declared in Session class must have a private visibility modifier.
      • String name
      • int turns
    • Define Constructors
      • No explicit constructors need be defined but include a section comment for Define Constructors with no constructors listed.
    • Define Methods
      • setName - prompts for, reads in, and assigns the value to the variable name.
      • prtIntro - prints the intro message.
      • setTurns - prompts for, reads in, and assigns the value to the variable turns.
      • getTurns - returns the value of the variable turns.
      • prtOutro - prints the outro message.
• Name your source code main class (.java file) as YourName _Project5.java

Example output(from the Eclipse console)

Please enter your name: Kevin Hi, Kevin. Welcome to the 3311 Dice Game! Playing the game is easy - just "roll" the dice and the computer does the rest. The sum of the dice is worth points. You earn 5 bonus if you roll a 7 or 11. You earn 6 bonus points if you roll doubles. Now let's begin - enter any character key to begin. How many turns would you like: 3
