After coding a slot machine, my next C++ assignment was creating a 501 darts Simulator. This task sounded really fun. In this project I started using object orientated programming, one of C++'s main features. There are two programmed opponents, John and Sid, who play 501 darts against each other to get 0 first.

• The dart throw success rate/percentage of accuracy for each player is set.
• The user can also choose how many matches to play.
• A mini game is played first, to decide who starts first in the main 501 darts.
• After the main 501 darts simulation is over, results are displayed to the user. This shows how many sets each player won, and statistics from the game.

Below is a video demonstration of my 501 darts, showing gameplay options being set and the results.

One improvement I wish I had made for this project is to have created a GUI with SFML. It would have made my program a lot better and received a higher mark. Nonetheless, I'm still proud of this 501 darts simulator and how I approached solving the task. I enjoyed learning about classes and how a program could be more efficient with OOP. Back then, it made me think how my past slot machine program could have been improved if classes were used.
