Deal or No Deal – With a twist
Program Description
Requires you to write a C++ assignment to play a modified version of the popular game “Deal or No Deal”. Usually, the game begins with 26 unopened cases where each case corresponds to a certain amount of money. However, your program should give the player the choice of playing the game with 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, or 26 unopened cases.
A game is played for a certain number of rounds. The number of rounds depends on the number of cases chosen by the player. In the first and subsequent rounds, the player must open a certain number of cases before getting an offer from the bank. At this point, the player can choose to accept the offer and stop playing (“Deal”) or keep on playing (“No Deal”).
The monetary amounts in a game and the number of rounds in the game depend on the number of cases chosen at the beginning by the player. This information must be read from a file as follows:
You should assume that there will be at least 16 cases and at most 26 cases; also, you should assume that the number of cases is even.
Structure of Data Files
If the player chooses to play a game with 26 cases, the file Data26.txt must be opened. The first 26 lines of the file contain the monetary amounts (integer values) that should be assigned to each case. The remaining lines contain the number of rounds for the game and the number of cases to be opened in each round. The contents of Data16.txt, Data18.txt, Data20.txt, Data22.txt, and Data24.txt are organized in the same way.
Functionality of Program
2. Based on the number of cases chosen, the appropriate text file is opened and the data is read and stored (preferably in 1-D arrays, one for the cases and one for the rounds). The remainder of this section assumes that the player chooses 26 cases.
3. The player should be requested to choose a case to start the game. This case must be removed from play and set aside, but it must not be opened.
4. In each round of the game, the player is requested to pick a certain number of unopened cases (as specified in the data file), one by one. At the start of the round and before the player is asked to choose a case, the unopened cases must be displayed. For example, if the player chooses case 26 at the beginning, at the start of Round #1, the following cases should be displayed:
As each case is opened, the monetary value is shown and the monetary value for that case is ‘removed’ (i.e., not shown) from the “money board”. For example, suppose that the player picks case 13 as the first case in Round #1. If case 13 has $15.00, it is ‘removed’ as follows:
When a case is opened, it is also ‘removed’ from the list of available cases to choose from:
5. At the end of each round, except the last, the banker makes an offer to the player. The offer is calculated as follows:
6. The player can accept the offer and terminate the game (“Deal”). If the player does not accept the offer (“No Deal”), the next round is entered. This continues until there are no more rounds.
