Pig the dice game/Player is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
The task is to create a dice simulator and scorer of Pig the dice game and add to it the ability to play the game to at least one strategy.
- State here the play strategies involved.
- Simulate playing the game a number of times with two players of given strategies and report here summary statistics such as, but not restricted to, the influence of going first or which strategy seems stronger.
- Game Rules
The game of Pig is a multiplayer game played with a single six-sided die. The object of the game is to reach 100 points or more. Play is taken in turns. On each person's turn that person has the option of either
- Rolling the dice: where a roll of two to six is added to their score for that turn and the player's turn continues as the player is given the same choice again; or a roll of 1 loses the player's total points for that turn and their turn finishes with play passing to the next player.
- Holding: The player's score for that round is added to their total and becomes safe from the effects of throwing a one. The player's turn finishes with play passing to the next player.
