The Matchstick program below uses the following rules:
- Starts with 21 matchsticks
- each player must remove 1 - 4 matchsticks
- The player who takes the last stick loses.
The algorithm is this: To always win you must:
- Let your opponent go first.
- on your turn, take enough sticks that your take plus your opponent's take equal 5 sticks.
This program is written in Java, and uses the above algorithm:
import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.InputStream; public class Matchstick { static int sticksLeft = 21; public static void main(String[] args) { String input; int humanChoice; int computerChoice; BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); System.out.println("Welcome To Matchsticks\n\n" + "The Rules:\n" + " - There are 21 Matchsticks\n" + " - Each player takes 1, 2, 3, or 4 matchsticks on their turn\n" + " - The person who takes the last matchstick loses the game\n\n" + "The computer has graciously let you pick first"); do { try { System.out.print("How many sticks do you take: "); System.out.flush(); input = in.readLine(); humanChoice = Integer.parseInt(input); if (humanChoice > 4 humanChoice < 1) { System.out.println("Please choose a number between 1 and 4\n"); } else { sticksLeft = sticksLeft - humanChoice; System.out.println("You chose to remove " + humanChoice + " Matchsticks. There are " + sticksLeft + " Matchsticks Left"); computerChoice = 5 - humanChoice; sticksLeft = sticksLeft - computerChoice; System.out.println("I chose to remove " + computerChoice + " Matchsticks. There's " + sticksLeft + " Matchstick(s) Left\n"); } } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Please enter a numeric value\n"); } } while (sticksLeft != 1); System.out.println("You take the last Matchstick, The computer wins!"); System.exit(0); } }
There is no formal definition of game genres for computer games because the data cannot be compiled. Many modern computer games do not need physical software installation to be sought out and played.
Texas Hold'em, World Series of Poker, Five Card Draw, and Video Poker are all popular computer poker games. All of these games can be played free online.
CAD allows for testing designs and ideas before you build them. For example, I am in a robotics club within my school, and we always draw pieces of the robot in CAD before we start building. By doing this we can see whether any of the parts will conflict, where excess stress is placed on the machine, and others, depending on the program used. I like to use Autodesk Inventor Pro, but I have also played around with SolidWorks and PTC Creo
This depends on the game. Games created with cross-platform code, like Java or Flash, can run on any supporting device. Otherwise, multiple versions of a game have to made to work on different platforms or operating systems.
Yes it certainly does. my daughter plays it on my computer and I notice it is next to impossible to use Internet after she has been on it. my wife's computer ( an apple) has actually crashed its hard disk but it was of no use anyway since moviestarplanet was played on it. really it was of no use before but msp definitely made it even more annoyingly slow. a good friend of mine has similar problems since his childeren play msp.
No not without an emulator program and PS1 bios
-There are 21 matchsticks.-Whoever is forced to pick up the last matchstick loses the game.So the last one is special, so it's all about how to get rid of 20 matches in pairs of turns.-The computer asks the player to pick 1, 2, 3 or 4 matchsticks.So if we reduce the total by 5 each round, the sequence will go21 16 11 6 1In effect, whatever number the user picks (n), the computer picks 5-n'''#include'''main()'''{''''''int matchsticks=21, user, computer;printf("Do not enter Invalid Numbers.\nNumbers above 4 are invalid.");printf("\nIf you do so, the computer automatically wins.");'''while (matchsticks>=1)'''{'''printf("\nNumber of matchsticks available right now is %d.", matchsticks);printf("\n\nYour Turn...\n\n\n");printf("\nPick up the matchstick(s)-- (1-4): ");scanf ("%d", &user);'''if (user>4)'''{'''printf("Invalid Selection");'''break;'''}'''computer=5-user;printf("\nComputer's Turn..\n" );printf("\nComputer chooses:%d", computer);matchsticks=matchsticks-user-computer;'''continue;'''if(matchsticks==1)'''break;'''}'''matchsticks--;printf("\nComputer Wins");'''}''''''''''''''''''''''''

In short, Data DVD only can be played in computer, and DVD can be played on both DVD play and computer.
Fredward Benson otherwise known as Freddie plays carlys friend in the program he is a computer whizz and is played by nathan kress :)
First of all it is the Match Girl not matchstick girl, secondly it was a cartoon. A rarity of rarities, a tragedy cartoon.
I just found it. It's called "Pictures of Matchstick Men" by Status Quo. Hope that's the one you meant!
