How to Hand In Your Work.
Save all work to my drop box in the format LastName-ProjectName. Any work not saved in this format will not be graded.
Slot Machines.
The goal is to build your own functioning slot machine in VB.
The player will input how much they want to start with in a text box.
The game will keep a running total of how much the player has left.
It is 1 dollar per pull to play.
There a four objects - an eagle (10%), duck (20%), chicken (30%) , and a turkey (40%). If you prefer to use your images, that is okay.
One way to do this is to pick a number from 1 to 100 and if it falls in the 1-10 range it is an eagle, 11 to 30 for a chicken, etc.
There are different probabilities for each combination.
- One of a kind - no winner
- Two of a kind - no winner
- Three of a kind = winner
Eagle gets $50, duck gets $20, chicken gets $10, and Turkey gets $5.
Adjust these as you see fit so the game is not too stingy or too loose.
You should be able to create an interface that is appealing.
