CS 0004 Project 2: Craps

Due: Wednesday, March 1st, 2006 11:59pm

Introduction

The game of craps is a game played with 2 dice. They are rolled together and their points are totaled. If you roll a 2, 3, or 12, you immediately lose. If you roll a 7 or 11, you immediately win. Any other value is called the point. You then must roll the 2 dice over until you roll the point again or you roll a 7. If you roll the point again, you win, if you roll 7, you lose.

Interface

A sample program can be downloaded from the website. See the screenshots below for example behavior:

What you need to do

Make a Craps program as shown above. One important thing that the program should do is to only display the point GroupBox when it is appropriate (i.e. when you are trying to roll point.)

Make sure it handles the 2 separate phases of the game correctly:

1. The first roll
2. Rolling point (if necessary after the first roll)

Hints and suggestions

• You can either remember the point in a separate variable, or you can extract it from the label you store it in for later comparison
• If you set the Visible property of a GroupBox, any controls inside it will appear/disappear as well.
• Don’t forget to seed the random number generator
• You need to determine whether this roll is in the first roll phase or the point roll phase, there are several different ways to do this, and you can use any.
