Description
For this assignment, you are going to recreate a dice game called “Run for it!”. The goal of the game is to roll
numbers that can be arranged into sequences of numbers that start with one (ex: 1, 2 or 1, 2, 3, etc.). This is a
two player game. The players alternate turns, starting with player 1. During their turn, the player rolls 6 dice at
once. If no sequences can be made from the numbers rolled, the player gets 0 points. If they do roll one or more
sequences, for each number in the sequence(s), they receive 5 points. The first player that reaches 100 points
wins the game.
The program will first display an introduction and the rules of the game. It asks player one to enter “R” to roll
all 6 dice. The roll is displayed. Then, if any sequences are found, those are displayed separately, and points
gained from them are added to player 1’s score. If no sequences are found, it says “No sequences!” and no
points are added. This process repeats for player 2. The players alternate turns until one player reaches 100. At
the end, the winning player is declared, and then the program ends.
Game Notes:
All sequences must start with one.
No numbers can be skipped in the sequence.
The smallest sequence possible is 1, 2.
Each player can only roll the dice once per turn.
Programming Notes:
The dice rolls are generated using the Random class.
Dice roll MUST be stored as a string.
After a number in a sequence is found, it should be removed from the dice roll string.
substring and/or chartAt methods will be useful.
You don’t need to input validation.
