Doing this project 1 step @ a time but the multiple files are starting to get confusing. Lemme start by telling you all what I need to do, then show you what I've done, and then maybe you can tell me if I'm on track with this or if I need to scrap it and start over. I don't necessarily want you to give me any code - I can do my own homework, but a point in the right direction.
Simulate Dice Rolling Game
1. Two classes used (Die, DiceRoll)
Note: Die is an abstraction of a single physical entity
DiceRoll is an abstraction of three dice rolled together
DiceRoll contains no constructor member function
class Die and class DieRoll must be in separate files
2. Three global functions required
void GatherStats(int RollsArray[], int RollsArraySize, int ResultsArray[]); // prototype
3. Loop for the size of the RollsArray include switch
Note: case clause increment ResultsArray cell, count all possible dice rolls
Frequency of each total is recorded in ResultsArray
4. Main driver global function declare two arrays and call the gloval functions
Note: Min size of 200
5. Pass RollsArray to GatherStats function and call DisplayResults
6. Display a horizontal histogram of asterisk characters.
7. Display a vertical histogram of asterisk characters.
Code(This is broken up into multiple files cuz it's easier to work on and compile.)
