Due Sunday March 25th.

For this assignment you will be modifying the Generic Board Game program. You can use the version from the previous assignment or start over from scratch. Make the following changes to the program:

• Create a new "score" variable for each of the players. This could be an actual score or another variable such as gold, health, fame, etc. As the game progresses, special squares should cause each players' "score" variable to increase and decrease. Change the victory conditions to match the new variable. For example, the game might end when the first player reaches the goal, but the winner is the player with the most gold (and maybe the first player to reach the goal gets some bonus gold making it more likely that the player will win). Alternatively the game might end when the first player's score reaches zero (for example, if the "score" variable is health).

  Make sure that the new rules are clearly presented to the players at the beginning of the program.

  To make this change to the program several related changes will have to be made in the code and in the game file.

  • The square class will need to be expanded with one additional variable that keeps track of how much a player's "score" changes when they land on that square.
  • The action() function will need to be modified so that it correctly changes the player's "score". Or a new function in the square class will need to be created to change a player's "score".
  • Each line in the game.txt file will need to be modified to include an additional value that determines how much a player's score changes by.
  • The read_board() and set_square() functions will need to be modified to read the additional vlaue out of the game.txt file and correctly store it in the game objects.
  • The victory conditions will need to be modified to check the players' scores or possibly to have a player lose if the their score (e.g. health) reaches zero.
• Give player a choice on their turn. For example, they can move ahead exactly 2 or move a random distance between 1 and 4. Or they can move a random distance, but get pick between 1-4 and -1 to 6.

Make sure that the game's introduction, instructions, and comments accurately explain the new version. Make sure that each players' "score" is printed every turn. Include comments at the beginning of the code explaining your changes.

Turn in: A copy of the program, a copy of a correct game file to go with it, and sample output showing the program runs. Make sure that all of your new special squares are tested in the output.
