# Shell Game
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
**Tier:** 3-Advanced
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
A Shell game is a classic gambling game that dates back to ancient Greece.
|
||
|
|
Playing it requires three shells, a pea, hand dexterity by the operator, and
|
||
|
|
keen observation skills on the part of the player. It's also a classic con
|
||
|
|
game since its easy for the operator to swindle the player. Thank goodness
|
||
|
|
the latter isn't our intent with this app.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This Shell game is intended to provide a graphical interface to the classical
|
||
|
|
shell game and to provide the player with an honest game to play. Our game
|
||
|
|
draws three shells on the canvas along with the pea, moves the pea under one,
|
||
|
|
of the shells, and shuffles the shells for a specific interval of time. The
|
||
|
|
user must then click on the shell she thinks the pea is hidden under. The user
|
||
|
|
is allowed to continue guessing until the pea is located.
