Submitted by razormist on Sunday, January 28, 2024 - 23:52.

In this tutorial, we will create a "How to Create a Dice Roller App in Terminal Console using Python". We will break down the basics of this program for creating a dice roller. Our goal is to understand the concept behind this program and learn the proper coding to develop it. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding of this tutorial.

This topic is simple and easy to understand; just follow the instructions I provide, and you can also do it yourself with ease. The program I will show is a simple that will make our dice roll a number. I will do my best to provide you with the easiest method of creating this program, called "Dice Roller". So, let's start with the coding.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console of Dice Roller. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.

import random
 
print("\n\n=========== Dice Roller App =========== \n")
x = 'y'
while x == 'y':
    n = random.randint(1, 6)
 
    if n == 1:
        print("-----------")
        print("|         |")
        print("|    O    |")
        print("|         |")
        print("-----------")
 
    elif n==2:
        print("-----------")
        print("|       O |")
        print("|         |")
        print("| O       |")
        print("-----------")
 
    elif n==3:
        print("-----------")
        print("|       O |")
        print("|    O    |")
        print("| O       |")
        print("-----------")
 
    elif n==4:
        print("-----------")
        print("| O     O |")
        print("|         |")
        print("| O     O |")
        print("-----------")
 
    elif n==5:
        print("-----------")
        print("| O     O |")
        print("|    O    |")
        print("| O     O |")
        print("-----------")
 
    elif n==6:
        print("-----------")
        print("| O     O |")
        print("| O     O |")
        print("| O     O |")
        print("-----------")
 
    x = input("Press 'y' to input Again: ")

In this code, we imported a module called "random"; this library is responsible for randomizing the entry index. Next, we enclosed the code with a while loop to keep the program running until it meets a certain condition. Lastly, we drew several objects that represent the dice numbers along with an if statement.
