Boat Racing Game Challenge #4 By Chris Brown Under the direction of Professor Susan Rodger Duke University, January 2013 Based off of the Boat Racing Game by Jenna Hayes

Boat Race In this world, you must control a boat to travel through the 10 arches in the race course in order to win the game. Try to complete the race as fast as possible! We want you to modify this game so that you will know the average time it takes you to complete one game over multiple games.

Average Time We want to find the average time it takes you to complete one game out of as many games you decide to play. Every time you finish a race, Alice will ask you if you want to play again. If you select “Yes”, then the values from the race you just completed will be saved. If you click “No”, then we want Alice to display the average time it took you to finish the number of games you played.

Average Time

Challenge This challenge is a more advanced version of Challenge #1. In the boat race world, you will need to complete the “average” function to calculate the average time it takes you to complete a series of games. You will also need to modify the “win” method to prompt the user and ask if they want to play again, then display the average time it took them to completed the game when they are done playing.

Complete world.average You will be given timeList, a list of the total times that each game took along with games, a variable to keep track of the number of games. You will need to calculate the average amount of time per game.

Complete world.win First, we will need to change the world variable playAgain to see if the player wants to try the game again to get a better score. To do this, go under world functions and set playAgain to the function “ask user for yes or no”.

Complete world.win (Part 2) Now, add to this method so that if playAgain is true, the world will add the current time to the timeList and increment the number of games played, then reset everything to start the game over. Make sure to use the reset method already created for you. If playAgain is false, then have the boat say what the average time was for all of the games out of how many games you played (i.e. “You completed the game in an average of _____ seconds for _____ games.”), and add your own animation at the end.
