Question

Implement the following problem as a self-contained Python program (module). Please write in beginner level code! Thanks!

The game of Pig is a simple two-player dice game in which the first player to reach 100 or more points wins. Players take turns. On each turn, a player rolls a six-sided die. After each roll:

a) If the player rolls a 1 then the player gets no new points and it becomes the other player’s turn.

b) If the player rolls 2-6 then they can either roll again or hold. If the player holds, the sum of all rolls is added to his/her score and the turn passes to the other player.

Write a program that plays the game of Pig where one player is human and the other is the computer. When it is the human’s turn the program should show the score of both players and the previous roll. Allow the human to input “r” for roll again and “h” for hold. (Hint: use the input function).

Answer 1

Note:

All the details of code has been given inside the code as comments. It is one of the easiest way to implement this game. Though it looks larger it is too simple. If you go throught the code 2 to three times you will get the clear view of code.

Code

import random
#True defines current player's' turn
player = True
computer=False
pv=0
cv=0
while(True): #infinite loop till any of one wins
        
        if(player): #player turn
                print()
                dv=random.randint(1,6) # roll the dice
                if(dv==1): # player rolled.1,hence becomes computer turn
                        print("player rolled 1")
                        player=False
                        computer=True
                else: #player rolled between 2-6
                        print("player rolled ",dv)
                        print("enter choice r or h :")
                        ch=input() #get input r or h
                        if(ch=='r'): # roll again
                                print("player chose",ch)
                                player=True
                                compuyer=False
                        elif(ch=='h'): # hold the value and pass the turn to computer
                                print("player chose",ch)
                                player=False
                                computer=True
                                pv+=dv
                                print("player score is ",pv)
                                if(pv>100): #player wins
                                        print("player won")
                                        break #exit the loop
        elif(computer): #computer turn
                print()
                dv=random.randint(1,6) # roll the dice
                if(dv==1): # computer rolled 1,becomes player turn
                        print("computer rolled 1")
                        player=True
                        computer=False
                else: # computer rolled between 2-6
                        print("computer rolled ",dv)
                        print("enter choice r or h :")
                        ch=random.choice(['r','h'])
                        print("computer chose",ch)
                        if(ch=='r'): # roll again
                                player=False
                                compuyer=True
                        elif(ch=='h'): #hold the value and pass to the player
                                player=True
                                computer=False
                                cv+=dv
                                print("computer score is",cv)
                                if(cv>=100): #computer wins 
                                        print("computer won")
                                        break #exit the loop
