Roulette is a betting game that is played with a roulette wheel and a ball. The roulette wheel consists of 38 sectors, each with a number and a color. The wheel spins with the ball in it, and the ball eventually comes to rest in one of the sectors. Players who placed a bet on a number or color that matched the one on which the ball stops, win their bet. Here is a picture of a Roulette wheel:
The game of Roulette is played by multiple players (you will play with one human player and 2 computer players). Before a spin, each player chooses the amount he/she will bet up to a $50 limit. Your human player's bet values should be read in from the user, and your computer player's bet values should be computed randomly. The Roulette wheel spins and the ball lands on some sector in the wheel. Each sector has number and color associated with it. A sector's color is either GREEN, RED, or BLACK. Players can bet either on a color (red or black, but NOT green), or players can bet on a specific number (a value between -1 and 36 inclusive). For our game, here is how numbers and colors are assigned:
For example, this is what part of our Roulette Wheel will look like:
Your program will start out by prompting the user to enter information to initialize the human player, and will create two additional computer players. Next, your program should begin playing rounds of Roulette until either the user chooses to walk away from the table (quit) or one of the three players has no money left to continue betting. At this point, your program should print out the final results of all games: for each Player, their name, the number of bets they won, and the amount of money they have left. In addition, print out the total number of games played.
See my sample output below to get an idea of what a run of your program should look like.
The Roulette class should have the main method that creates three Player objects, plays rounds of the games, and prints out the final results. Add helper methods to this class that implement parts of this large task (think Top-Down design here).
One player is the user of your program. Your program should read in information from the user that you will use to initialize their Player object. The other players are computer players, and their name and age can be hard-coded in (the user doesn't need to enter it). Your program should next enter a loop that continues until the user doesn't want to play another round of the game or until one of the players is out of money. For each round, your main game playing method should call a helper method name PlayGame, that plays one round of the game:
The main loop should print out the results of this game, and than ask the user if he/she wants to play again. When the user answers "no", your program should print out the results of all games played.
Think about adding additional methods to your solution to implement good modular design. For example, you may want to add some private static helper methods in your Roulette class that are helper functions for your main method. A method that prints out a prompt and reads in an int value between some range might be helpful.
As a first step you may want to implement a single game of Roulette, with a single player. Once you get this to work, add 2 more Players, and add code to keep playing games of Roulette until a Player loses all his/her money or the user of the game doesn't want to play another round.
