Introduction

This is a one player game in which one player is the batter and the computer is the pitcher. The batter gets three strikes to hit the ball and gets three outs. If the batter hits the ball and it doesn't leave the park, it is considered an out. When the batter gets 3 outs the game is over. This game will keep score of how many homeruns are hit.

Problem Description

Our homerun derby allows one player to bat while the computer randomly selects a pitch at two different speeds and nine different locations. While the human player bats he/she must press a number on the number pad corresponding to the computer's pitch location and at the correct time (while the ball is over the plate). The distance of the hit ball is determined by the location of the human player's swing location and timing.
