This is the problem. I’ve solved it using javascript console.log statements.
I want to write an application with an UI with html,css and javascript now.
But I’m not sure how the UI should look? Can you make a rough sketch for me?
let total_toothpicks = 23;
let pass_toothpick_to_computer;
let counter = 0;
let currentPlayer = "human";
function switchPlayer(currentPlayer) {
return (currentPlayer = currentPlayer === "human" ? "computer" : "human"); //added a return statement here
}
function playGame(currentPlayer) {
if (currentPlayer === "human") {
counter++;
console.log(counter + "human iteration");
let user_choosed_toothpicks = Number(
prompt("Pick 1,2 or 3 toothpicks at a time")
);
total_toothpicks -= user_choosed_toothpicks;
console.log("Human choosed" + user_choosed_toothpicks + "toothpicks");
console.log("total number of toothpicks=", total_toothpicks);
pass_toothpick_to_computer = user_choosed_toothpicks;
if (total_toothpicks === 0) {
console.log("Human loses the game");
}
currentPlayer = "computer";
}
if (currentPlayer === "computer") {
counter++;
console.log(counter + "computer iteration");
if (total_toothpicks > 4) {
total_toothpicks = total_toothpicks - 4 + pass_toothpick_to_computer;
console.log(
"Computer takes" + Number(4 - pass_toothpick_to_computer) + "toothpicks"
);
console.log("total number of toothpicks=", total_toothpicks);
} else if (total_toothpicks >= 2 && total_toothpicks <= 4) {
switch (total_toothpicks) {
case 2:
total_toothpicks -= 1;
console.log("Computer takes 1 toothpicks");
console.log("total number of toothpicks=", total_toothpicks);
break;
case 3:
total_toothpicks -= 2;
console.log("Computer takes 2 toothpicks");
console.log("total number of toothpicks=", total_toothpicks);
break;
case 4:
total_toothpicks -= 3;
console.log("Computer takes 3 toothpicks");
console.log("total number of toothpicks=", total_toothpicks);
break;
default:
break;
}
if (total_toothpicks === 0) {
total_toothpicks -= 1;
console.log("Computer loses the game");
}
}
currentPlayer = "human";
}
}
while (total_toothpicks > 0) {
playGame(currentPlayer);
}
