Question Description

must use C++

Objective

To understand and implement software using arrays and previously learned programming constructs.

Instructions

For this assignment you will
create a Memory Game similar to the card game that many of us probably
played as kids. For the Memory Game, you will allow for the user to select an
index of an array of characters and try to find the matching character. If the
guess is wrong, you “flip the card back over” and do not reveal it. If they get
a matching pair, then you display both of the characters. You should keep track
of how many guesses (rounds) the user requires to unveil all of the matches.

The array will have 10
elements, thus, five pairs. You could choose A,B,C,D, and E just to keep things
simple or use a different set of characters. Behind the scenes, you may have an
array that looks like this, for example:


[ ‘A’ ‘B’ ‘B’ ‘A’ ‘C’ ‘D’ ‘D’‘C’ ‘E’ ‘E’ ]


Or anything of the sort. However, the user will (at startup) see the following:

[ - - - - - - - - - - ]


To indicate that none of the “cards” have been unveiled yet.

Print the results at each stage of interaction with the user. For example, a sample interaction could be as follows:

[ - - - - - - - - - - ] Tries: 0

>>0

[ A - - - - - - - - - ] Tries: 1

>>1

[ A B - - - - - - - - ] Tries: 2

No match, sorry.

[ - - - - - - - - - - ]

>>3

[ - - - A - - - - - - ] Tries: 3


>>0

[ A - - A - - - - - - ] Tries: 4

You’ve made a match! Please continue!

[ A - - A - - - - - - ]

Etc.

So the user continues playing until all the letters are recovered. At the end you should say, “congratulations, you’ve matched all the cards in someNumber tries!

Recommendations/Hints

Use parallel arrays One contains the actual letters  One is used to
display the appropriate cards that have been revealed (or not, i.e. ‘-‘ back to
the user)

You should design a class called CMemoryGame to maintain the state of the
game, interact with the user, and determine winning state. Failure to use a
class will result in significant loss of points. You must also write a driver in main.cpp that will use objects of type CMemoryGame that will allow me to test your programs.
