Assignment Wheel of Fortune
Your
assignment is to make a simplified version of the television game: “Wheel of
Fortune.” (You can play this game on FaceBook)
In this version,
there is only one player. You have 5 turns to start with. The wall of hidden
letters spells out a word, name, or phrase and there is a clue below. You spin the wheel.
If the wheel lands on a dollar amount or a Free Spin, you can guess a consonant
or buy a vowel.
If you guess a consonant correctly in the
puzzle, you scores
$ and gets to continue spinning. For
example, if you land on $500 and there are two ‘n’s, your score will be $1000.
If you successfully buy a vowel, then you don’t get any money, but it will
still be your turn and you will be that much closer to solving the puzzle.
If the wheel stops
on "Miss A Turn" ,you lose a turn. If the
wheel stops on “Bankrupt”
you lose a turn and all your money. If you guess incorrectly, you lose a
turn.
During any of your turns, you may choose to solve the puzzle. The game ends when you correctly solve the
puzzle or run out of turns.
Programming Notes:
We
will not be implementing a timer in our applets.

phrase from a list of at least twenty phrases stored in an array.
The buttons on the wall are also in an

The results of the spin are randomly
generated as well. (You do not need to have the spinner actually land on a spot
on the wheel.)
You must display the number of turns
left and the score.
