GCSE ComputingWorking with numbers

Challenge•‘Crimson Mystical Mages’ is a fantasy

role playing board game.

•You need to create an electronic program to calculate powers for players.

Challenge•A player gets powers by rolling two dice.

•1 is a 4 sided dice, the other is a 12 sided dice.

•The person’s power is the score of the 12 sided dice divided by the score on the 4 sided dice PLUS 10.

Challenge•You need to create a program which

calculates a person’s power score

•It must simulate the throwing of both dice

•Then calculate the score and tell the player

Challenge•There is some help..... Visual Basic does

the dice job for you.....

Random Numbers•RND is a function in visual basic

•It randomly generates a number greater than 0 but smaller than 1

•e.g. 0.2, 0.91, 0.456, 0.01......

Random Numbers•Dim Result as integer

•To create a number between 1 and 6....

•Result = Int((6 * Rnd) + 1)

Combat•When there is an encounter between two

characters a battle occurs!

•the outcome is determined by the following process:

Combat•The differences between the power score

for the two characters is calculated

•This difference is divided by 2 and then rounded down to create a ‘strength modifier’

•Then each player rolls a 6 sided dice

Combat•Whoever has the highest score gets the

strength score added to their power score.

•The loser gets the strength score subtracted from their power score.
