Project P07: HandCricket Game

Mentor: James George

Details

Handcricket is an attempt to recreate the childhood experience of playing cricket with your hand. And being Dev guys it is a fun to have it on the terminal. It is a game in which two players show scores on their respective fingers.If the scores are equal, the batsman is declared out. Else, the score of the batsman is added to the total runs of the batting team. The tooling as a whole doesn’t seem to serve any purpose, still it offers much learning experience. These are the features expected to be implemented:-

• Choose who should be sent out to bat first (Toss).
• Provide 3 different formats (5 overs, 10 overs and 15 overs).
• Implement the core gameplay features.
• Validate user input (acceptable input is between 0-6).

Choosing the winner. Display stats. Much more to be planned out.
