Algorithm for the programming assignment #2
Algorithm for the game of absorb material
Step1: Welcome the user and explain the purpose of how to use this program to play
Step1a: Display a heading (“absorbing material game”)
Step2: Get the name of players
---(step2a)Prompt the user
“Please input the name of the first player”
---Enter the name of first player (player[0])
---Read it in the data and store in a char variable
---Echo the name of the first player (display it)
“The first player’s name” amount the variable
---Ask the user if the name was correct (Y/N)
---If not, re-prompt and read until the user player is happy (repeat step 2a)
---(step 2b)Prompt the user again
“Please input the name of the second player”
---Enter the name of second player (player[1])
---Read it in the data and store in a char variable
---Echo the name of the second player (display it)
“The second player’s name”amount the variable
---Ask the user if the name was correct(Y/N)
---If not, re-prompt and read until the user player is happy (repeat step 2b)
Step3: Distribute the points
---(step 3a)Prompt the first user
“Please input the points of the game! (10 points)”
---Enter the number of the points ( int a)
---Read it in the data and store it in a int variable
---Echo the number of the points (display it)
“The number of the points at the before beginning the game”amount the variable
---Ask the user if the points meet with the requirement of the game(Y/N)
---If not, re-prompt and read until meet with the requirement (repeat step 3a)
---(step 3b)Prompt the second user
“Please input the points of the game! (10 points)”
---Enter the number of the points (int b)
---Read it in the data and store it in a int variable
---Echo the number of the points (display it)
“The number of the points at the before beginning the game”amount the variable
---Ask the user if the points meet with the requirement of the game(Y/N)
---If not, re-prompt and read until meet with the requirement (repeat step 3b)
Step4: Enter the question
---(step 4a)Prompt the first player
“Please input the question on the screen”
---Enter the question (char question[])
---Count the number of words of the question and store it in a int variable (int c)
---Read it in the data and store it in a char variable
---Echo the question (display it)
“The question is” among the variable
---Ask the first player if the question is correct(Y/N)
---If not, re-prompt and read until the user is happy (repeat step 4a)
Step5: Clear the question
---Prompt the second player
“Don’t see the problem when the first player enter the question”
---Display the question and disappear quickly( type the enter key)
Step6: Show the question for the second player
---Prompt the second player
“Are you ready to see the question and you have only three seconds to see (Y/N)”
---Enter the answer (char ch1)
---If the answer is Y (y)
---Read it in the data and store it in a char variable
---Echo the answer (display it)
“Your answer is”among the variable
---If yes, then do the next step
---Echo the time left (display it)
“Time-left:”among the positive number
Step7: Memory the question
---Prompt the second player
“You have five seconds to recall the question”
---Echo the time left (display it)
“Time-left:”among the positive number
Step8: Try to relax
---Prompt the second player
“Relax yourself before answering the question”
Step9: Is ready for the second player
---(step 9a)Prompt the second player
“Are you ready to answer the question? (Y/N)”
---Enter the answer (char ch2)
---Read it in the data and store it in a char variable
---Echo the answer (display it)
“Your answer is”among the variable
---Ask the second player if the answer is correct(Y/N)
---If not, re-prompt and read until the meet with the second player’s requirement
(repeat step 9a)
---If the second player answer is no
---Read it in the data and store it in a char variable
---(step 9b)Prompt the second player
“This time you have 30 seconds to see this question and remember it, but your
Points will deducted” (points=points-1)
---Read the points in the data and store it in a integer variable
---Show the question on the screen
---Echo the time left (display it)
“Time-left:”among the positive number
---Prompt the second player
“You have ten seconds to recall the answer”
---Echo the time left (display it)
“Time-left:” among the positive number
---Prompt the second player
“Relax yourself before typing the question”
Step10: Begin to type the question
---Prompt the second player
“Begin to type the question”
---Enter the question (char question1[])
---Count the number of words of the question1 and store it in a int variable (int d)
---Read it in the data and store it in a char variable
Step11: Compare the number of words
---(step 11a)If the number of words in the same and the word(Y/N)
---If yes, then do the next step
---Echo a sentence (display it)
“You do a great job! And you can add one point to your points” (points=points+1)”
---Read it in the data and store it
---If no, then do the next step
---Echo a sentence (display it)
“Your point need to deducted by one point” (points=points-1)
---Read it in the data and store it
Step12: Switch turns
---Prompt the player
“The position of the player changes”
---Repeat the step from step 4 to step12 until one player has no point
Step13: Game over
---Prompt the player
“Who don’t have points?”
---If the first player don’t have points
---Echo a sentence (display it)
“The second player win the game”
---If the second player don’t have points
---Echo a sentence (display it)
“The first player win the game”
Step14: Re-play the game
---Prompt the player
“Do you want to play again? (Y/N)”
---If yes, then repeat the step from step2 to step13
---If no, then exit the game
Step15: Thank you for using this program to play
