yahtzee game in matlab

To create a Yahtzee game in Matlab, you need to follow these steps.

  1. Define the rules of Yahtzee and the scoring system.
  2. Create a GUI interface to display the game board and accept user inputs.
  3. Use a random number generator to simulate dice rolls.
  4. Implement game logic to calculate scores and determine winners.
  5. Set up error handling to ensure correct inputs and outputs.

Here is a sample code for a basic Yahtzee game:

main.m
% Define the game rules and scoring system
NUM_DICE = 5;
NUM_ROLLS = 3;
NUM_CATEGORIES = 13;

% Initialize game variables
scores = zeros(1, NUM_CATEGORIES);

% Create GUI interface
gui = figure();
% TODO: add buttons and panels

% Game loop
for i = 1:NUM_ROLLS
    % Simulate dice rolls
    dice = randi([1, 6], [1, NUM_DICE]);
    
    % TODO: display roll results in GUI
    
    % Accept user input for scoring category
    category = inputdlg('Choose a scoring category:');
    
    % TODO: validate input and calculate score
    
    % Update scores
    scores(category) = score;
end

% Determine winner
max_score = max(scores);
winner = find(scores == max_score);

% Display winner in GUI
msgbox(['Player ' winner 'wins with a score of ' max_score '!']);

Note that this code is only a basic framework and needs to be customized to suit your specific needs and preferences.
