Question

Program 2: Buh-RING IT! For this assignment, you're going to simulate a text-based Role-Playing Game (RPG). Design (pseudocode) and implement (source) for a program that reads in 1) the hero's Hit Points (HP - or health), 2) the maximum damage the hero does per attack, 3) the monster's HP and 4) the maximum monster's damage per attack. When the player attacks, it will pick a random number between 0 and up to the maximum damage the player does, and then subtract that from the monster. The same thing happens when the monster attacks the hero, but damage is to the hero. The program should display rounds and the HP of the hero and monster each round. If the hero or monster dies, it should print that this happened and should NOT continue (i.e. no extra text). To learn how to create random numbers, see the appendix. Sample run 1: Enter the hero's starting hit points: 50 Enter the damage the hero's weapon does per strike: 20 Enter the monster's starting hit points: 40 Enter the monster's damage per strike: 15 ====== ROUND 1 ====== Hero attacks for: 10 Monster has 30 HP left Monster attacks you for: 1 You have 49 HP left ====== ROUND 2 ====== Hero attacks for: 18 Monster has 12 HP left Monster attacks you for: 7 You have 42 HP left ====== ROUND 3 ====== Hero attacks for: 0 Monster has 12 HP left Monster attacks you for: 14 You have 28 HP left ====== ROUND 4 ====== Hero attacks for: 18 Monster has -6 HP left The monster dies and you earn 5 XP Battle ends...

Answer 1

// Pseudocode to simulate the battle between hero and monster using text-based role player game

Declaration
   number heroHP, monsterHP, heroDamage, monsterDamage;
   number damage, round;
  
Start
   // Input hero's starting hit points
   Input heroHP;
   // Input the damage the hero's weapon does per strike
   Input heroDamage;
   // Input the monster's starting hit points
   Input monsterHP;
   // Input the damage the monster's weapon does per strike
   Input monsterDamage;
  
   round = 1;
  
   // loop that continues till both hero and monster are alive i.e their HP > 0
   while(heroHP > 0 and monsterHP > 0)
   do
       print "Round ",round; // print the round number
      
       // generate a random number between 0 and heroDamage (inclusive)
       damage = random number between [0,heroDamage];
       print "Hero attacks for : ",damage;
      
       // damage the monster's hit points
       monsterHP = monsterHP - damage;
       print "Monster has ",monsterHP," left";
      
       // check if monster is dead, then exit from loop
       if monsterDamage <= 0 then
           exit from loop;
       end if;
      
      
       // generate a random number between 0 and monsterDamage (inclusive)
       damage = random number between [0,monsterDamage];
       print "Monster attacks you for : ",damage;
      
       // damage the hero's hit points
       heroHP = heroHP - damage;
       print "You have ",heroHP," left";
      
       round = round + 1;
   end while

   // determine who won
   if monsterHP <= 0 then
       print "The monster dies and you earns 5 XP";
   else
