• 
  Learn how to create functions
  
• 
  Learn hot to use list
  
• 
  Learn how to implement the concept of object oriented programming
  

Write a simple animated program by using object-oriented design and Python. This program should be menu-driven. The first screen is the main-menu screen. In the main-menu screen, players can choose the different options of the program, such as:

• 
  Help
  
• 
  Play the Dice Game
  
• 
  Check Player’s Performance
  
• 
  Quit this Program
  

Every time when the Start option is chosen, the dice would flash for about 3 to 20 seconds and then stop. At this point, the win/lose status could be determined.

• 
  Permissible bets are: under_9, over_9, odd (sum of the three dice), or even (sum of the three dice).
  
• 
  Reward for winning is one to one.
  ( i.e. Win 1 point for each correct bet, or lose 1 point for each wrong bet.).
  
• 
  Whenever the player choose the start option, the three dice would flash for a few seconds and then stop,
  

• 
  Your program must possess the following operations and properties:
  
  • 
    diceRoll(...) ----- to roll a die to generate a random number between 1 to 6.
    
  • 
    diceValue (...) ----- to return the current top-value of a die.
    
  • 
    diceSetDefaultValue(...) ----- to set an initial top-value before tossing the die.
    
  • 
    a variable called topValue to indicate the top-value of a die.
    
• 
  Feel free to add any additional operations or properties if needed.
  

Whenever the “Check Player’s Performance” option is chosen, the player’s performance information should be displayed.

• 
  Initial Balance
  
• 
  Current Balance
  
• 
  Total Number of Plays
  
• 
  Percentage of Wins (no. of wins / total no. of plays)
  

• 
  randint(a, b) ------ return a random integer N such that a <= N <= b.
  

• 
  An algorithm for this program.
  

• 
  A printed copy of your Python source code and a printout of at least one sample run.
  

• 
  All pages must be stapled together.
  

• 
  No loose pages are accepted.
  

• 
  The disk (USB memory stick, CD, diskette, etc) that you hand-in should contain all of your program files:
  

• 
  Put all related program files in your folder called ####assign3.
  
  • 
    where: #### is the last four digit of your student number.
    

Your assignment will be graded according to the following scheme:

• 
  Correctness, completeness, and no missing features / 3
  
• 
  General, flexible, and efficient / 2
  
• 
  Documentation, style of code, and sample run / 2
  
• 
  User interface, ingenuity, and overall evaluation / 3
  

• 
  Deduct half a point for each missing feature.
  

• 
  Deduct half a point for any incorrect file name or folder name.
  
• 
  Deduct half a point for any loose pages.
  
• 
  Penalty for late submission of assignments is 5% for the first day, and an additional 10% for each day thereafter.
