Dice Game
Here are the rules to a dice game:
- The game consists of several "rounds."
- In each round, the computer plays first by throwing two six-sided dice and adding the spots.
- The player must now try to beat that sum.
- The player may choose to throw two six-sided dice or one 11-sided die (with sides numbered 2-12).
- If the player's throw beats the computer, then the player wins the round. Otherwise the computer wins the round.
- The game continues until either the player or the computer has won ten rounds.
Here are the first four rounds of a game:
The Computer tosses: 10 Toss 1 eleven-sided die, or 2 six-sided dice (enter 1 or 2)? 1 You throw 1 die and get: 7 You loose the round! Score: computer 1, you 0 The Computer tosses: 4 Toss 1 eleven-sided die, or 2 six-sided dice (enter 1 or 2)? 2 You throw 2 dice and get: 9 You win the round! Score: computer 1, you 1 The Computer tosses: 10 Toss 1 eleven-sided die, or 2 six-sided dice (enter 1 or 2)? 1 You throw 1 die and get: 3 You loose the round! Score: computer 2, you 1 The Computer tosses: 5 Toss 1 eleven-sided die, or 2 six-sided dice (enter 1 or 2)? 2 You throw 2 dice and get: 5 You loose the round! Score: computer 3, you 1
Eleven-sided dice are hard to find in the real world. If you wanted to play this game with physical dice, use a twelve-sided or sixteen-sided die (which do exist, ask any Dungeon Master) and discard rolls other than 2 through 12.
