Program 2, Hi Ho Cherry-O Game Simulation

Short Description:

Goals

• Employed arrays, structs and enumerated types.
• Continued to refine your skills at functional decomposition.

Formal Description

In this game, each of the four players has a tree and a basket. They are trying to pick the 10 cherries from their tree and place these cherries in their basket. To do this, each player in turn spins a spinner. If the spinner lands on a number, 1-4, the player takes that many cherries from their tree and places them in the basket.

The spinner can also land on a hazard. There are three hazards, a bird that takes two cherries from the player's basket and puts these cherries back on the tree, a dog that does the same, and a spilled basket. If the spinner lands on the spilled basket, all of their cherries magically fly from the basket back onto the tree and they must start again.

Starting with the first player, the players each take turns spinning the the spinner and placing cherries in their basket. The first one to reach 10 cherries in the basket cries "Hi Ho Cherry-O!" and wins the game.

Before the games begins, gather player information. There are four players in every game, and these players are either human or computer. For each player, your program should ask if that player is a human or a computer. If the player is a human, ask for their name and age. If they are a computer, assign it a name. All players baskets should be initialized to hold 0 cherries and then the game begins.

The computer player names should be assigned as follows:

First Computer Player	Alphie
Second Computer Player	Bettie
Third Computer Player	Deltie
Fourth Computer Player	Gammie

For each round, print a report similar to the following:

Timmy, it is your turn.
Press Enter to spin

You picked 2 cherries.   You now have 2 cherries.

Player 2 Alphie, A computer Player
You spilled your basket.   You now have 0 cherries.

Player 3 Bettie, A computer Player
You picked 1 cherry.     You now have 1 cherries.

Player 4 Deltie, A computer Player
You picked 4 cherries.   You now have 4 cherries.

      Player 1, Timmy,  (2) is a human.    * * O O O O O O O O
      Player 2, Alphie, (0) is a computer. O O O O O O O O O O
      Player 3, Bettie, (1) is a computer. * O O O O O O O O O
      Player 4, Deltie, (4) is a computer. * * * * O O O O O O
Press ENTER to continue:

      Player 1, Timmy,  (8)   is a human.    * * * * * * * * O O
      Player 2, Alphie, (3)   is a computer. * * * O O O O O O O
      Player 3, Bettie, (8)   is a computer. * * * * * * * * O O
      Player 4, Deltie, (2)   is a computer. * * O O O O O O O O
Press ENTER to continue:

Timmy, it is your turn.
Press Enter to spin

You picked 2 cherries.   You now have 10 cherries.
Hi Ho Cherry-O!, you win.

You won the game in 35 rounds.
That is very good for a human who is 5 years old.

Discussion

• You must use arrays, enumerated data types, and structures in this program.
  • Use an enumerated data type for the results of a spinner.
  • Use a structure to hold each player.
  • Use an array of these structures to hold the players.
• Your output should be very close to that given above.
  • Blank lines should be the same.
  • Spacing may be somewhat different, but it should be close to the above.
  • Columns should be aligned using setw.
  • The verbiage should be the same.
• Your code SHOULD NOT crash or hang ever.
• Whenever possible, eliminate repeated code by building subroutines. If you find you are repeating code, pull it out and put it into a subroutine.
• You should probably write some experimental code, and then revise your design.
• You should create a sub-directory and perform all work for this project within this directory.
• Your could should be in multiple files.
• If you need help, you should ask.
• Please do not put this work off until the weekend before it is due.
• Your code must compile on cslab103 with the following flags

  -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Werror --std=c++20   -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wold-style-cast -Wunused-parameter -Wuninitialized  -Winit-self  -Wshadow  -Wparentheses -Wdangling-else
