Boat Racing Game Challenge #2 By Chris Brown Under the direction of Professor Susan Rodger Duke University, January 2013 Based off of the Boat Racing Game by Jenna Hayes

Boat Race In this challenge, you must drive the boat to travel through 10 arches in a race course in order to win the game. The faster your time, the better you will do! To make things more difficult, the arches are placed in a random position each time you run this game, so no two courses will be alike. We want you to add to this game, so that in the end you will know the average distance between arches.

Challenge For this version of the boat race world challenge, you will need to complete the “average” function to calculate the average distance that the boat travels to go through each hoop in the game, and then modify the “win” method to display the average speed to the user once they have completed the game. The program is already set up to collect the distances between each arch, you will use those to calculate the total distance between each of the arches that you must pass through.

Average Distance We want to calculate the average distance between pairs of arches. The code provides a list of this information called distances for you to use to calculate the final average. distance Start Finish

world.average You are given a list of the distances between pairs of arches and you will need to calculate the average distance between two arches (meters/arch) it took the boat to finish the game. Hint: There are 10 total arches in the game and the boat starts a short distance before the first arch.

world.win Now, modify this method so that the text that once displayed the timer displays the average distance the boat travelled between arches. Once again, feel free to explore Alice and add other aspects to the winning screen of the game. For example, have a fish come up out of the water to congratulate you on your victory!
