Question

As discussed in class the topic for the team project this semester is the Multiplication game.

For a feel of the game visit
Multiplication Game
Note: MARS does not have a graphics capability so ASCII board is sufficient.

• Minimum requirements for the program:
• The game is for two players: the user v.s. the computer. The numbers in the board do not change (they must be a product of 2 numbers.)
• The game board is displayed using ASCII characters (e.g. ., -, +, and |) is the minimum requirement. Creative ways to display the board, e.g. with graphic, will earn the team extra credits.
• Implementation of a winning strategy by the computer is NOT required but will earn extra credits if implemented.
• All moves by the user and the computer MUST be valid according to the rules of the game.
• An error message is displayed to explain the rule that was violated if a move by the user was not valid, e.g., the multiplication result is not on the board.

IMPORTANT: The program must be developed as multiple modules (i.e. multiple .asm files), each module implements one part of the game. If the program is implemented as one file points will be severely deducted.
How would You create Board_display module?? IN MARS Assembly language
the board is 6x6 1-81 board

Answer 1

The Board Display module handles the display and interaction with the multiplication game board, including initialization, displaying the board, checking move validity, and marking moves.

the Board Display module in MARS Assembly language for the Multiplication game:

Module Name: Board Display

Purpose: This module handles the display of the multiplication game board. It provides functions to initialize, display, and update the game board, as well as handle user moves and error messages.

Data Structures:

board : A 6x6 array to store the game board numbers (1-81)

error Messages: A data segment to store error messages

Functions:

Initialize Board()

Initializes the board array with multiplication results (1-81)

Stores the error messages in the `error Messages` data segment

Display Board():

Clears the screen

Displays the current game board using ASCII characters

For each row:

Print a row separator

For each column:

Print the corresponding game board number

Print a column separator

Print a newline character

Print Error Message:

Checks the error number and prints the corresponding error message

Utilizes the error Messages data segment to retrieve the error message

Prints the error message using the appropriate system call

Check Valid Move:

Checks if the given move is valid

Validates that the row and column values are within the range of the game board (1-6)

Checks if the corresponding game board number is not already marked

Mark Move:

Marks the given move as taken

Sets the corresponding game board number to a special valueto indicate it's been marked

Error Handling: Use the `Print Error Message` function to display appropriate error messages when invalid moves are attempted.

For example, if the user selects a position that is already taken, display the "Invalid move: The multiplication result is already taken" error message.
