Mixed Messages Task
Hi all,
this is my first posting. This is what i came up with for the mixed messages task.
Random Cluedo with a twist Generator
One of the classic board games in the 80’s was cluedo (probably still being made I think), which would involve a random individual committing a crime with a random weapon in a random room. This program will simulate choosing the 3 cards at the start of a game of Cluedo.
The game will output: e.g.
Character - Murder weapon - Room
sample output
Cluedo crime generator!
“It was Mrs. Peacock with the rope in the Billiard Room!”
const cluedoArr = [
[
"Miss Scarlett",
"Colonel Mustard",
"Mrs. White",
"Reverend / Mr. Green",
"Mrs. Peacock",
"Boris Johnson",
"the Corgi",
],
[
"the Dining Room",
"the study",
"the Library",
"the Billiard Room",
"10 Downing Street",
],
["Candlestick", "Dagger", "Lead Pipe", "Cornish Pasty", "Rope"],
];
const giveMeANumberBetweenZeroAnd = (num) => {
const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * num);
return randomNumber;
};
const generatePerson = () => {
const num = giveMeANumberBetweenZeroAnd(cluedoArr[0].length);
const person = cluedoArr[0][num];
return person;
};
const generateRoom = () => {
const num = giveMeANumberBetweenZeroAnd(cluedoArr[1].length);
const room = cluedoArr[1][num];
return room;
};
const generateWeapon = () => {
const num = giveMeANumberBetweenZeroAnd(cluedoArr[2].length);
const weapon = cluedoArr[2][num];
return weapon;
};
const createMessage = (person, weapon, room) => {
const message = `"It was ${person} with the ${weapon} in ${room}!"`;
return message;
};
const displayMessage = (message) => {
console.log("Cluedo crime generator!");
console.log("-----------------------");
console.log(message);
};
const init = () => {
const person = generatePerson();
const weapon = generateWeapon();
const room = generateRoom();
const message = createMessage(person, weapon, room);
displayMessage(message);
};
init();
