Python Logical Puzzles, Games, and Algorithms: Game of Craps

Python Homework Solution

Here's a Python program for the game of Craps:
import random

def roll_dice():
    """Roll two dice and return their face values as a tuple."""
    die1 = random.randint(1, 6)
    die2 = random.randint(1, 6)
    return (die1, die2)

def play_game():
    """Play one round of the game of craps and return the result."""
    roll = roll_dice()
    total = sum(roll)
    print("You rolled", roll, "for a total of", total)
    if total in (7, 11):
        print("You win!")
        return True
    elif total in (2, 3, 12):
        print("You lose!")
        return False
    else:
        print("The game continues...")
        point = total
        while True:
            roll = roll_dice()
            total = sum(roll)
            print("You rolled", roll, "for a total of", total)
            if total == point:
                print("You rolled your point! You win!")
                return True
            elif total == 7:
                print("You rolled a 7! You lose!")
                return False

def main():
    """Play multiple rounds of the game of craps until the user quits."""
    while True:
        play_game()
        response = input("Do you want to play again? (y/n) ")
        if response.lower() != "y":
            break

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
This program first defines a roll_dice function that returns the face values of two dice rolled together. It then defines a play_game function that plays one round of the game of Craps. If the first roll of the dice results in a 7 or 11, the player wins. If it results in a 2, 3, or 12 (known as "craps"), the player loses. Otherwise, the game continues, and the player tries to roll the same total again before rolling a 7.
Finally, the main function repeatedly calls play_game until the user chooses to quit.
