How to write program that find winner who choose the smallest number. UNIX process?
In the game of “Unique”, multiple players privately choose an integer. They then reveal
their choice. The winner is the player who chose the smallest unique number. The
game is considered a draw if no unique integer was chosen.
You would write a program that simulate such a game according to the followings
1. The parent process fork player (child) processes (up to maximum of 10
players). It then waits for each of the child processes to return an integer.
2. The players (child processes) will randomly pick an integer between 1 to 5, and
return the choices to the parent.
3. Parent process determines the winner based on the choice returned by the
players (child processes). Parent process then print out the winner’s PID and
inform all child processes to terminate, before it terminates. If it is a draw, parent
process shall inform all the child processes (players) to choose another integer.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as required until a winner can be
determined.
Example of output:
Code:
$ ./game 5
Game starts with 5 players
Player 3312 choose 4
Player 3314 choose 3
Player 3313 choose 2
Player 3315 choose 1
Player 3316 choose 5
Player 3315 win!

Hey. This is pretty easy stuff but I'm learning the basics of Unix at the moment so keep that in mind. I have to:
1) Write a C-shell script to monitor user activity on the server for 13 minutes.
2) Then print the smallest and largest number of users during these 13 minutes.
I have this:

between - a game about consciousness and isolation
SYNOPSIS
between
DESCRIPTION
Between is a video game written by Jason Rohrer about consciousness and isolation.
Between is a multiplayer-only art game. As a result, some people like it, many people do not get it and some people hate it. Search the
internet for the author's name and the game title to find some discussion about the game before dismissing it. Some sample discussions and
reactions are listed below.
You can play Between with a friend or stranger over the Internet. Both players will see a field, sky, clouds, a square structure and a
shimmering tower. The interface reveals the initial controls (reference below). The players place red-green-blue blocks on the field and
pile them upwards. Placing blocks over the shimmering tower causes pleasant tones while the colours match. Soon enough the players will not
be able to match any more blocks with the complex patterns and colour variety in the tower. To the left is a bed indicating sleep. To the
right is a bright room indicating wakefulness. Cycling through the dream and wakefulness states gives players three different realities in
which to build the shimmering tower. Eventually in the state between dream and reality, mysterious interactions between the two players
block placements and reality cycling patterns will result in blocks with new colours and patterns appearing on the field. These new blocks
can then be used to match more and more of the shimmering tower over time...
The most interesting part about this game is the emotions it evokes within the player of the game. The ultra-low-res pixel art helps here,
by not being too distracting and by leaving plenty room for viewer interpretation.
USAGE
Between has no command-line options.
The left and right arrow keys move left and right.
The spacebar is used to place or grab blocks.
The b/n keys are used to change the colour of the placed blocks.
The s/w keys are used to sleep/wake the player.
The Esc key is used to quit the game.
The game resolution and use of fullscreen or a window can be set by editing the files in /etc/between.
