Description

In this project, you will create a simple program to roll some dice and calculate damage in the style of Dungeons and Dragons, a popular roleplaying game.


What you need to know

One of the main components of the game is the dice roll. This allows for randomization and adds variations to the game. Die sides are denoted by d3, d6, d20, etc., with the number referring to the number of sides that the die has. Since we are using a computer, we can have a die like d1000 (meaning a 1000-sided die) which would not be possible in real life. We can also roll multiple dice. 


For example, 1d6 means a six-sided die that can output anything from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. 2d6 means two six-sided dice that can output the sum of two dice throws (e.g., 2 through 12). If the first roll is 3 and the second roll is 2, the sum is 5
