Dice Game - A Java Web Game Using Servlets

Description

Dice Game is a simple web-based game developed in Java using servlets. The game allows players to roll the dice and accumulate points.

App View

The app allows you to create and login to an account:

In the user home you can play, see the best score of each player, and logout from the app:

When the game is over, you'll see the following display:

Finally you can check the best score of each player:

Game Rules

• The user should roll 3 dice, numbered 1, 2 and 3, one at a time in any order
• During a game, the same die must not be rolled several times, in fact, if a player rolls the same die more than once, the application stops the game and the player receives a score = -1
• If the result obtained for die number 1 is strictly lower than the result obtained for die number 2 and the result obtained for die number 2 is strictly lower than the result obtained for die number 3, then the player receives a score equal to the sum of the results obtained for the 3 dices
• If the result obtained for die number 1 is strictly higher than the result obtained for die number 2 and the result obtained for die number 2 is strictly higher than the result obtained for die number 3 then the player receives a score equal to the product results obtained for the 3 dices
• Otherwise it receives a zero score
• The application must stop the game once we can conclude about the score, for example if we get 5 for die number 1 and 6 for die number 2 then there is no point in waiting for the result of die number 3, because the score will be equal to 0 regardless of the result of the 3rd die
