Petals Around the Rose

Faisal implemented this Game as his first C# program; we spent a couple hours refactoring the code.

Following are three classes (the original solution had all classes in one file, and also had some cumbersome logic control structures).

I commented out the code which actually computes the answer so I wouldn't get in trouble from the official "Petals Around the Rose" governing body.

	public class Petals {
		static void Main() {
			DieList dice = new DieList();
			int score = 0;
			Petals petals = new Petals() ;
			petals.WriteDirections() ; 

 			while (!(6 == score)) {
			    Console.WriteLine("Rolling Dice...");
			    dice.roll();
			    dice.show_dice();
			    Console.WriteLine("What do you guess? (q to quit.)");
			    string guessStr = Console.ReadLine(); 
			    int result = -1 ; 
			    if (!Int32.TryParse(guessStr, out result) ) {
				if (guessStr == "q") 
				   return ; 
				else {
				    Console.WriteLine("Bad Input") ;
				}
			    }
			    else {
				if ( dice.score() == result ) {
				    Console.WriteLine("Correct!");
				    Console.WriteLine("");
				    score++;
				} else {
				    Console.WriteLine("Sorry, try again.");
				    Console.WriteLine("");
				    score = 0;
				}
			    }
			}
			if (score >= 6) {
			    Console.WriteLine("6 times in a row -- you probably know the rule.");
			}
		}
	    
	public  void WriteDirections() {
		Console.WriteLine("");
 		Console.WriteLine("");
		Console.WriteLine("PETALS AROUND THE ROSE.");
		Console.WriteLine("");
		Console.WriteLine("The name of the game is 'Petals Around the Rose.");
		Console.WriteLine("Each turn I will roll 5 dice, and you will guess the score.");
		Console.WriteLine("I will then tell you if you guessed correctly or not.");
		Console.WriteLine("");
		Console.WriteLine("Your goal is to figure out how the score is determined.");
		Console.WriteLine("");
		Console.WriteLine("The score will be an even number between 0 and 20.");
		Console.WriteLine("The name of the game is significant.");
		Console.WriteLine("");
		Console.WriteLine("Good luck.");
		Console.WriteLine("");
	}
