Keno

Simple text-based version of the game Keno.

Introduction

Keno is a popular gambling game with similarities to a lottery or bingo. Players place a bet and choose anywhere from one to twenty numbers between 1 and 80, inclusive. Once the players have chosen their numbers, the game generates twenty random numbers between 1 and 80, and players receive a payoff based on how many numbers they picked that matched the chosen numbers. For example, if a player picked seven numbers and all seven were chosen (very unlikely!), she might win around $10.000 for a ten dollar bet. The actual payoffs are based on the probabilities of hitting k numbers out of n chosen.

Dependencies

To build this project you'll need some dependencies listed bellow:

• git
• g++
• cmake

And clone this repository, using git clone <this repo>

Compiling

To compile this project move to keno directory and make a build directory;

mkdir build 

Create a makefile using cmake, to manage and build the project;

cmake ..

Then, build the project;

make

A bin file called keno will be created.

Gameplay

To run the program you'll need a .dat bet file, wich have this format

bet_file.dat

Lines	Representing
1500.0	The player’s initial credit, expressed as a real value.
3	The number of rounds the game should run, represented by an integer.
21 12 64	A set of up to 15 unique numbers in any order, separated by at least one white-space.

Any other representation for will be considered a invalid bet file.

Therefore, just execute the bin file, passing through argument line the .dat bet file:

$./keno bet_file.dat

The game will show you bet informations and play the rounds.

At the end of the game will be showed a sumary of the money that you spent, the money you have won and how much you have now.
