Homework 2

  • Due: 4/4 -- late homework not accepted
  • Up to two students may collaborate; please be prepared to discuss individual contributions

Overview

Consider the card game Unique Last Hand with the following rules.

  1. Start of game: a player starts with a hand which is consisted of K cards drawn from a randomly shuffled super deck. If any of the cards are repeats, then duplicates are tossed back into the super deck and another card is draw. After K cards have been distributed, the deck must be shuffled again.
  2. Each round: the player draws a card from the super deck. With each draw, a card must be discarded. For now, the card with the lowest priority is discarded. If a drawn card is a repeat then, repeat drawing cards until the drawn card is not a repeat.
  3. The game stops after R rounds and the score of final hand is tallied.

Some additional information:

  • A Super Deck is assembled by joining N decks of 52 cards
  • A Hand is consisted of exactly K cards
  • The number of rounds is calculated as followed: R = N x K x M
  • When choosing to remove a card from the deck, use the following priority scheme
    • A repeat card has a higher priority than any non-repeat cards
    • Order by rank, i.e. King > Queen > ... > 2 > Ace
    • Order by suit, i.e. Diamonds > Hearts > Clubs > Spades
  • To score the game: add up all the cards in the final hand as followed
    • Face cards are worth 12 points
    • Ace cards are worth 15 points
    • Number cards are worth their numeric value times a multipler. The multiplier for Spades is 4, for Clubs is 3, for Hearts is 2, for Diamonds is 1

Single Player Unique Last Hand

Write a single player version of the Unique Last Hand card game using the following parameters:

  • N = 5
  • K = 5
  • M = 20

The game should print out (see sample output below) the following:

  • The initial hand
  • For each round: the current hand, the drawn and discarded cards, a list of repeated cards
  • At the end of the game: the final score

Your SinglePlayer.java should set parameters using command line arguments. Here is an example output of a game being played:

$ java SinglePlayer 5 5 25

Initial Hand: [KD][QC][5D][2H][2S]
Round 1:
  Change: +[2H] +[5S] -[2S]
  Hand: [KD][QC][5D][5S][2H]
	Repeats: [2H]
Round 2:
  Change: +[2H] +[5S] +[3D] -[3D]
	Hand: [KD][QC][5D][5S][2H]
	Repeats: [2H] [5S]
	...
Round R:
  Change: +[7D] -[KD]
	Hand: [7D][5S][4S][2H][2C]
	Repeats: [7D][5S] ... [2C]
Score: 53
