Question

Write a program for a (very) rudimentary shooter "game". You are the only shooter and you start with ammo of 10. The one enemy doesn't shoot back and starts with health of 5. Code a custom function named shoot that prints "Shot fired" and returns True for a hit or False for a miss. Generate a random 0 to assign False or 1 to assign True. In the main function, use a while loop that runs the shoot function until you run out of ammo, at which point you lose. Report both hits and misses (see Sample Outputs). If your shot is a hit as determined by the value returned by shoot, your code should lower the enemy's health. If you are lucky, the health of the enemy will be reduced to zero before you run out of ammo. If this happens, report the enemy's demise and use the break keyword to stop the loop. You have won.
Sample Output 1
Shot fired. Enemy was hit!
Shot fired. Shot missed
Shot fired. Enemy was hit!
Shot fired. Enemy was hit!
Shot fired. Enemy was hit!
Shot fired. Enemy was hit!
Enemy destroyed. You won!
GAME OVER

Sample Output 2
Shot fired. Shot missed
Shot fired. Enemy was hit!
Shot fired. Shot missed
Shot fired. Shot missed
Shot fired. Shot missed
Shot fired. Enemy was hit!
Shot fired. Shot missed
Shot fired. Shot missed
Shot fired. Shot missed
Shot fired. Enemy was hit!
You are out of ammo! You lose!
GAME OVER

Answer 1

Since the language was not specified, I wrote the program in C++. Please refer to the program given below:

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

//this function is used to generate a random number between 0 and 1
bool shoot(){
   int n;
   cout<<"Shot fired.";
   n = rand() % 2; //rand is a function that is used to generate a random number
   if(n)
       return true; //if n = 1
   else
       return false; //if n = 0
}

int main(){
   int ammo = 10, health = 5;
   bool result;
   srand(time(NULL)); //srand sets the starting point for producing a series of pseudo-random integers
   while(ammo){ //if ammo = 0 loop will end
       result = shoot();
       if(result == true){
           cout<<" Enemy was hit!"<<endl;
           health--; //decrement the health by 1 every time the enemy is hit
           if(health == 0){
               cout<<"Enemy destroyed. You won!"<<endl;
               break;
           }
       }
       else
           cout<<" Shot missed!"<<endl;
       ammo--; //decrement ammo by 1 after every iteration
   }
   if(health > 0) //if enemy is not dead
       cout<<"You are out of ammo! You lose!"<<endl;;
   cout<<"GAME OVER";
   return 0;
}
