A nice way to make a program which will roll the dice for us and give as a value between 1 and 6 is to use Lambda Functions. We'll need some help from random module.

Code:

>>> from random import randint

>>> dice = lambda :randint(1,6)

>>> dice()

5

>>> dice()

2

Heh I love Python's libraries.

or if you want to roll two dice and return a tuple

from random import randint as roll;

dicepair = lambda : (roll(1,6), roll(1,6));
print(dicepair());

I was planning to write code for 5 dices, for the game Yahtzee.
I don't know the difference but in my country this game is called Yamb.

In this game there are certain rules, which I don't want to explain now.
When player rolls the dices, he has 2 more attempts to roll, and he pick which dices he wants to roll again and which ones he wants to leave the way they are.

When inspiration comes to me I'll post the code here.

Output should be like this:

Code:

1st throw:

d1=1

d2=1

d3=6

d4=4

d5=2

Input the number of dice you want to roll again (input 'r' to roll): 3

Input the number of dice you want to roll again (input 'r' to roll): 4

Input the number of dice you want to roll again (input 'r' to roll): 5

Input the number of dice you want to roll again (input 'r' to roll): r

2nd throw:

d1=1

d2=1

d3=6 #changed

d4=6 #changed

d5=6 #changed

Input the number of dice you want to roll again (input 'r' to roll): ...

3rd throw:

...

Again? (y/n): ...

Or maybe a better way:

Code:

1st throw:

d1=1

d2=1

d3=6 

d4=4

d5=2

Input the numbers of dices you want to roll again (split by space): 3 4 5

2nd throw:

d1=1

d2=1

d3=6 #changed

d4=6 #changed

d5=6 #changed

Input the numbers of dices you want to roll again (split by space): 1 2

3rd throw:

d1=4 #changed

d2=4 #changed

d3=6 

d4=6 

d5=6 

Again? (y/n): ...

Where 'y' should throw them all again and 'n' should terminate the program.
