Billly 7) IFP & AFP – Computer Science Semester II - Programming

Supplemental Continuous Assessment

SCNC1007

2019/20

Question 1 of 1 – Answer both parts. [100 marks]

Based on the program description below, provide the following:

PART (A) Create a flowchart for the program ensuring sufficient level of detail and appropriate shape elements to denote start/finish, actions, conditions and I/O. Please use a package like



MS Publisher



(with page size A3 or larger) to create your flowchart. MS Publisher is available to all TU Dublin students free of charge.

[40 Marks]

PART (B) Write the code for the program outlined in your flow chart in Java that meets the specification outlined in the description below. Your code should be submitted in a text file format.

[60 Marks]

Task: Simple Slot Machine Game

Create a flowchart and a java program that plays
a simple slot machine game
with the user.

The program flows as following:

1. User starts with €5 Credit Balance

2. The user is asked their name.

3. User presses [ENTER] to start the game

4. Slot machine has three drums – each drum can display one of three items, a “Bar”, a “Cherry” or an “Dollar”.

5. Each spin cost the user €1 to spin

6. If they get any two items the same, they win their money back (€1)

7. If they get three of a kind, they win €10

8. They can spin again (press 1) or exit and take their money (press 2)

9. If they have no money left the game exits automatically.

The following is an on-screen example of how this code will work:

Hi Tommy, you have €5 in the bank! Each play costs €1.

Wins are 3 of any kind wins €10

Any two of a kind and you get your €1 back

Press [ENTER] to pull the lever...

Deducting €1 from your balance to play (€9 now remaining)

------------------------------

-BAR- -DOLLAR- -DOLLAR-

------------------------------

#######################################

Two of a kind! You won your money back.

#######################################

You Balance is now €10

Press 1 and [Enter] to Play Again or

Press 2 and [Enter] to Leave Game

EXIT SELECTED - You are walking away with €10 in your pocket... Bye!

Note:

· Under no circumstances should your submitted work match worked submitted by another student or from a website. You should be aware your work will be submitted and analyzed using the universities “Urkund” plagiarism detection software.

· You should use concise and meaningful comments in your code that clearly outline what you code is doing at any point.

· Your programme should use the users’ name in all on screen communications.

· You should include error checking at every stage of your code to validate user input.

· The user should be told at all times what balance is.

· Your program should include enhancements to make the game more enjoyable, but what these will be is up to you

MARKING:

Flowchart has sufficient detail to explain the program flow 50%

Flowchart accurately explains the flow 50%

Note: Flowchart must match exactly the submitted java program code.

The correct shapes must be used for each element.

Marks will be lost for non-adherence.

CODE 60 Marks:

Program delivers to the specifications described,

with full error checking 70%

Comments 10%
