Pig Game

Due: September 21

Objective

To continue practicing Java programming including control structures, input, output, variables, functions and random numbers.

Task

For this program, you will write a version of the Pig dice game in Java. Pig is a two-player game in which each player tries to get 100 points before the other.

In Pig, players take turns rolling a die. For each turn, the player may roll the die as many times as they like until they get a 1. If a player rolls a 1, then they receive zero points for that turn. If a player elects to stop rolling (or "hold") before they get a 1, then they get the sum of all die rolls that turn. The score for that turn is then added into their final score.

For example, if it's my turn I can choose to roll, and roll a 5. Then, I can choose to roll again and roll a 2. Then I can choose to roll again and roll a 6. Then I can choose to hold, and my score for that turn is 13.

On the other hand, if I roll a 6, then a 3, then a 1, I receive 0 points for that turn.

The strategy in Pig is to try to get as many points as you can, then hold before you lose them all, which happens when you roll a 1.

You can try Pig for yourself here!.

Details

Your program should allow the user to play Pig against a computer opponent.
The program should alternate between the players turn, wherein you ask the user if they want to roll or hold, and calculate their score appropriately, and the computers turn.
During the computers turn, you should use the following strategy: try to get at least a score of 20 each round, then hold.
You should alternate between player and computer turns until one gets a total score of 100.
As soon as someone gets a score of 100, the game is over (you should not allow rolls over this).
After each complete game, you should ask the user if they want to play again.
It should be randomly chosen who goes first.
You can use the Random class for random dice throws as discussed in class.
You should split this program into at least three functions.

General Requirements

Your code should be readable and reasonably indented.
You must provide comments in your program.
You must include a comment at the top with your name.
You should not have a "package" line in your program.
You should not have the comments NetBeans puts in by default e.g. the "license header", "@author" or "TODO" lines.
Your file name/class name should be something descriptive, not something like "JavaApplication4".
