Due on or before Friday February 2 at 11:59 PM.

For this assignment you will be modifying the NIM game from the course textbook. The code is also posted on the course website in the course schedule. Make the following changes to the NIM game:

• Change the output of the program to make it more interesting. For example, change the winning and losing messages.
• Have the program begin by printing the rules of the game.
• Include running commentary in the game - think of typical sports commentary. Use selection statements (if statements) to check the number of items remaining and print appropriate messages. For example, if there are relatively few items left the program could print a message about someone being close to winning. Or if there are lots of items left the program could print a message about it still being early in the contest and anyone could win.
• Modify the program so that it doesn't lose if it doesn't have to. For example, if there are exactly 3 items left, the program can win by removing 2 of them. Currently the program removes a random number of items and may cause itself to lose unnecessarily. In particular, change how the computer selects how many items to remove when there are 2, 3, or 4 items remaining.
• Remove the "magic" numbers from the code. There's nothing particularly special about the limit of removing 3 objects. Changing the rules to permit a different number of objects to be removed requires changing the conditions of the loops that control what is a valid move, and the rand() statement so that the computer picks a number in the correct, new range. The best way to do this is to replace the current "magic" numbers (1 and 3) with variables. This makes the code easier to read (assuming the variables are given meaningful names like MinimumMove and MaximumMove) and makes the code easier to change in the future because only the two new variables need to be changed.
• Have the computer print a row of symbols, like #'s or *'s, to represent the number of objects remaining. This requires a loop that prints the correct number of the symbols in a row. A for loop, described in Section A.3 of Appendix A and in Chapter 5, works well, although a do-while loop can also be made to work. (A do-while loop requires a new variable that "counts" from 1 to the number of objects remaining as part of the loop.)
• Modify the program to play multiple games in a row without having to restart the program each time. After each individual game, the program should ask the player if they want to play again. If the player chooses to play again then the program should loop back to the beginning and start a new game. If the player chooses not to play again, the program should terminate.

As always, include a block of comments at the beginning of the programs (or add to the existing block) that lists your name, section number, date, and the assignment number. Also include comments on any parts of the assignment you didn't finish or on any extra work you did. Include this comment block at the beginning of every assignment and lab.
