DICE ROLLER program in Python ⚂

#python #tutorial #course

Here are the Unicode characters I use for drawing the dice.
Youtube has strange spacing, so the ASCII art looks warped in the description.
It should still work if you copy and paste it into PyCharm.

● ┌ ─ ┐ │ └ ┘

import random

dice_art = {
1: ("┌─────────┐",
"│ │",
"│ ● │",
"│ │",
"└─────────┘"),
2: ("┌─────────┐",
"│ ● │",
"│ │",
"│ ● │",
"└─────────┘"),
3: ("┌─────────┐",
"│ ● │",
"│ ● │",
"│ ● │",
"└─────────┘"),
4: ("┌─────────┐",
"│ ● ● │",
"│ │",
"│ ● ● │",
"└─────────┘"),
5: ("┌─────────┐",
"│ ● ● │",
"│ ● │",
"│ ● ● │",
"└─────────┘"),
6: ("┌─────────┐",
"│ ● ● │",
"│ ● ● │",
"│ ● ● │",
"└─────────┘")
}

dice = []
total = 0
num_of_dice = int(input("How many dice?: "))

for die in range(num_of_dice):
dice.append(random.randint(1, 6))

PRINT VERTICALLY
for die in range(num_of_dice):
for line in dice_art.get(dice[die]):
print(line)

PRINT HORIZONTALLY
for line in range(5):
for die in dice:
print(dice_art.get(die)[line], end="")
print()

for die in dice:
total += die
print(f"total: {total}")
