Answer the following based on information provided after the question.
When reviewing the game of Three Card War how would we break down the game into it's basic elements?
What C++ classes would we need to implement the game?
Identify these basic classes, choose a class and describe how you might implement the .h file with the appropriate member functions for the class.
Three Card War
The card game Three Card War is a simple card game for two players. The game uses a 52 card conventional deck. To begin the deck is shuffled and each player draws three cards. The players may look at their three cards. The remaining cards are placed in a pile facedown between the two players. The players decide who is going first.
• The player going first selects one of his three cards and places it faces up.
• The opposing player selects one of her three cards and places it faces up.
• If the ranks of both cards are the same (a push), then both players retain their cards and set them aside. Otherwise, the player with the highest-ranking card keeps both cards (again, setting them aside)
• After playing the round, each player draws one card from the deck to replace the card just played with the first playing drawing first.
• The player that won the round is now the first player for the next round unless there was a push then the original first player goes frst again.
• The game ends when the deck is exhausted and both players have played all of their three cards
. • The player with the most cards set aside wins. Card ranking begins with the 2 as the lowest card going up to the ten, then jack, queen, king, and ace.
Explanation / Answer
1. Card class with just an int instance for storing it's rank from 2 to 14 (Ace) as suits are meaningless in this case , a method to getRank and setRank each .
2. Player class with instance variable card in hand an array of three Card class instances and another int instance of count of cards won . With methods like show cards to show cards in hand , addcard to cards in hand , removecard from card in hand , showcount of cards won .
3. Game class with two player class instances , an array of 52 card class instances ,an instance to count the number of cards played , a method to shuffle the card deck , a method to draw card , a method to remove cards used from deck, a method to compare cards , a method to showturn to play .
Putting each class in it's own header for low coupling and easier maintenance . eg.
#ifndef TCW_CARD_H__
#define TCW_CARD_H__
using namespace std;
namespace tcw{
class Card {
private:
int rank ;
public:
Card(int r) ;
Card();
int getRank();
void setRank(int r);
};
};
#endif
