BUS 392: Java Final Project - Build a game!

Modeled after craps: https://youtu.be/7daSiVupvmY

1. Ask how many players will be playing (max 4)

• Create array size that is based on number of players
• Ask for each user user to place bet in order or opt-out (“0”)
• Store each bet in respective array position

2. “Hit enter to roll the dice”

• Two random number generators to pick between 1-6 (store 1-6 in list)
• Print each number individually, and store the added value in a sum variable

3. If 7 or 11, automatic win for everyone at table (for loop that prints each person’s winnings based on the bet stored in their array position)

• Else if 2 3 or 12, automatic loss for everyone at table (for loop that prints each person’s loss based on the bet stored in their array position)
• Else store sum in “point” variable
  • Prompt each user for if they will bet again in variable secondBet (store in new array of value double whose size is number of players)
  • Prompt each user if they are betting for or against the point (store in a new array of value char ‘f’ or ‘a’)
    • If user enters not ‘f’ or ‘a’, prompt again for new input until criteria is satisfied (via while loop) While loop:
• Continue to roll while the sum is not 7 or the point variable
• Once it is, store it into a new sum variable Create probability array to store multiplier values for each possible number rolled
• Index according to number being rolled (counting back from 6) If new sum variable is 7
• Win for everyone who bet with the point
  • Multiplier * amount of money bet
  • Increment amount of money user has by adding money won
• Loss for everyone who bet against the point
  • Multiplier * amount of money bet
  • Increment amount of money user has by adding money lost
• Else
  • Loss for everyone who bet with the point
  • Multiplier * amount of money bet
  • Increment amount of money user has by adding money won
• Win for everyone who bet against the point
  • Multiplier * amount of money bet
  • Increment amount of money user has by adding money lost

4. (after we have built steps 1-3): Put everything in a giant while loop, update and iterate according to turn
