Abstract

Dice Rolling Simulator is a simple Python program that rolls a dice and gives you a random number between 1 and 6. You can use this to play board games or just for fun. This is a command line program. It helps you to learn about random module in Python. In this article, we will learn how to create a dice rolling simulator using Python. It uses Random module to generate random numbers. Also, we will learn how to create a function in Python.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or above
• A code editor or IDE

Getting Started

Create a Project

1. Create a folder named dice-rolling-simulatordice-rolling-simulator.
2. Open the folder in your code editor or IDE.
3. Create a file named dicerolling.pydicerolling.py.
4. Copy the code given and paste it in the dicerolling.pydicerolling.py file.

Write the Code

1. Copy and paste the following code in the dicerolling.pydicerolling.py file.

# Dice Rolling Simulator
 
# Import random module
import random
 
# Creating a function to roll the dice
def roll():
    return random.randint(1, 6)
 
# Rolling the dice
while True:
    print(f"You rolled {roll()}")
    play_again = input("Do you want to roll again? (y/n): ")
    if play_again.lower() != "y":
        break
    
print("Thanks for playing!") 

# Dice Rolling Simulator
 
# Import random module
import random
 
# Creating a function to roll the dice
def roll():
    return random.randint(1, 6)
 
# Rolling the dice
while True:
    print(f"You rolled {roll()}")
    play_again = input("Do you want to roll again? (y/n): ")
    if play_again.lower() != "y":
        break
    
print("Thanks for playing!") 

2. Save the file.
3. Open the terminal and navigate to the project folder dice-rolling-simulatordice-rolling-simulator.

C:\Users\username\PythonCentralHub\projects\beginners\dice-rolling-simulator> python dicerolling.py
You rolled 4
Do you want to roll again? (y/n): y
You rolled 5
Do you want to roll again? (y/n): y
You rolled 5
Do you want to roll again? (y/n): n
Thanks for playing!

C:\Users\username\PythonCentralHub\projects\beginners\dice-rolling-simulator> python dicerolling.py
You rolled 4
Do you want to roll again? (y/n): y
You rolled 5
Do you want to roll again? (y/n): y
You rolled 5
Do you want to roll again? (y/n): n
Thanks for playing!

4. You can see the output in the terminal.

Explanation

1. First, we need to import the randomrandom module. We will use this module to generate random numbers.

import random

import random

2. Next, we need to create a function to roll the dice. We will use the randint()randint() function from the randomrandom module to generate a random number between 1 and 6.

def roll():
    return random.randint(1, 6)

def roll():
    return random.randint(1, 6)

3. Now, we need to call the roll()roll() function to roll the dice. We will use a whilewhile loop to roll the dice until the user wants to stop.

while True:
    print(f"You rolled {roll()}")
    play_again = input("Do you want to roll again? (y/n): ")
    if play_again.lower() != "y":
        break

while True:
    print(f"You rolled {roll()}")
    play_again = input("Do you want to roll again? (y/n): ")
    if play_again.lower() != "y":
        break

4. Finally, we need to print a message to the user.

print("Thanks for playing!")

print("Thanks for playing!")

Next Steps

Congratulations! You have successfully created a dice rolling simulator using Python.

There are many ways to improve this program. Here are some ideas:

• Add a feature to roll multiple dice at once.
• Add a feature to roll a dice with more than 6 sides.
• Add a feature to roll a dice with different colors.
• Add a feature to roll a dice with different shapes.
• Create a GUI version of this program.
• Create a web version of this program.
