;Task: Create a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_and_Ladders Snakes and Ladders] game where the computer plays against a human player.
This game is also known as '''Chutes and Ladders'''.
For a board example you can use this image here: [http://paulo-jorente.de/text/snakes_ledders.jpg snakes & ledders].
The way you'll represent the board and the players' tokens is totally up to you: graphics or ASCII graphics or even just text.
Happy coding.

'''Solution'''
As discussed in other implementations, this game is purely determined by chance and no user input is actually required.
The following game starts with players' counters off the board, an exact roll is not required to win and no additional dice roll results from throwing a six.

This includes an option for the player to automatically roll again when a six is rolled which I believe is a common variation:
// version 1.2.0 import java.util.Random val rand = Random() val snl = mapOf( 4 to 14, 9 to 31, 17 to 7, 20 to 38, 28 to 84, 40 to 59, 51 to 67, 54 to 34, 62 to 19, 63 to 81, 64 to 60, 71 to 91, 87 to 24, 93 to 73, 95 to 75, 99 to 78 ) val sixThrowsAgain = true fun turn(player: Int, square: Int): Int { var square2 = square while (true) { val roll = 1 + rand.nextInt(6) print("Player $player, on square $square2, rolls a $roll") if (square2 + roll > 100) { println(" but cannot move.") } else { square2 += roll println(" and moves to square $square2.") if (square2 == 100) return 100 val next = snl.getOrDefault(square2, square2) if (square2 < next) { println("Yay! Landed on a ladder. Climb up to $next.") if (next == 100) return 100 square2 = next } else if (square2 > next) { println("Oops! Landed on a snake. Slither down to $next.") square2 = next } } if (roll < 6 || !sixThrowsAgain) return square2 println("Rolled a 6 so roll again.") } } fun main(args: Array<String>) { // three players starting on square one val players = intArrayOf(1, 1, 1) while (true) { for ((i, s) in players.withIndex()) { val ns = turn(i + 1, s) if (ns == 100) { println("Player ${i+1} wins!") return } players[i] = ns println() } } }

{{works with|Rakudo|2017.01}} Snakes and ladders is entirely chance based, so human interaction is not really required. This version allows up to one human player against any number of computer players and asks for input... but doesn't really ''need'' or even ''use'' it. I didn't bother to implement a graphical interface.
