Introducción Programación 2

Summary

The instructor introduces a logic game played with numbered tarot cards from 1 to 23. The illustrations do not matter; only the numbers do. Players compete against Death by choosing cards and trying to win prizes.

Game Rules

• Players choose cards one at a time. Each chosen card belongs to the players.
• After each choice, Death takes any still-available factors of the chosen number. A factor is a whole number that divides another number evenly.
  • For example, the factors of 20 include 1, 2, 4, 5, and 10.
  • A factor that has already been taken cannot be taken again.
• If none of a chosen number’s factors remain available, Death takes that number.
• Play continues through the numbered cards. At the end, the players’ numbers are added and compared with Death’s total. The players must have a strictly greater total to win; a tie or lower total means Death wins.
• The instructor also mentions prizes associated with 2 (immortality), 6 (true love), and 10 (wealth).

Demonstration and Lesson

The instructor demonstrates the game with sample choices, including 2, 6, 20, 23, 14, 22, 17, 16, and 18. The choices show how taking a number can make its factors unavailable—or leave factors for Death to claim. The demonstration ends in a loss, illustrating how choosing numbers without a strategy can make victory seem impossible.

The instructor’s main point is that the game requires logic, not just arithmetic. The strategy is connected to operator precedence: understanding the priority of operators will help students reason about how numbers are arranged and evaluated in a program. The instructor says a 15-minute example will be uploaded to the class’s Classroom.
