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:

omega(6) Games Manual omega(6)NAME
omega - a hack-style game with quests.
SYNOPSIS
omega [save file]
DESCRIPTION
omega is a complex rogue-style game of dungeon exploration. Unlike other such games, there are a number of ways to "win", depending on
various actions taken during play. The ways you can get your name on the hiscore board include becoming the highest ranked head of a guild,
sect, college, etc., as well as gaining the most points figured from possessions and experience. The game (via the oracle) may impose some
structure on your exploration, but you need not follow all of the oracle's advice. There *is* a "total winner" status, by the way.
If the save file is not specified, omega gives the player the choice of generating a random character, or playing themselves, doing a short
quiz to determine an approximation of their abilities. If the save file is given, omega will restore that save file, and if successful,
the save file is deleted. Note that some installations of omega compress the save file, using either compress(1) or gzip(1) - if this is
the case, and you have a save file that is uncompressed (such files are generated by omega if it receives a signal during play, for exam-
ple), you can compress it (with compress(1) or gzip(1)) and remove the .Z or .gz extension. Alternatively, you may simply run with the
uncompressed save file - this will not affect the game in any way, but takes more disk space between games.
omega offers a richness of playing detail that goes beyond a simple game like rogue. However, the majority of gameplay is very similar to
rogue, hack, ultrarogue, larn, and other such games. The player is represented by the highlighted "@" symbol, objects and terrain features
are represented by non-alphabetic symbols, monsters are represented by the various upper and lower case letters, and other humans are rep-
resented by a non-highlighted "@".
omega currently consists of a countryside in which are sited a city, various villages, several dungeons, and some "special" sites, such as
the temples of the various priesthoods. The game starts in the city of Rampart, where all the guilds have headquarters. As a dungeon is
explored, all generated levels are saved in memory. However, only one dungeon is "remembered" at a time, so if you enter two dungeons, the
first will be forgotten (it will be regenerated should you wish to enter it again). However, if a dungeon is "completed", this fact will be
remembered, basically meaning that the unique monster at the bottom will not be regenerated if you've killed it already.
