Create a program using integers and shapes

-----------------------------------

create a program that will simulate the roll of a dice so that when it is run it will show a square with little circles in it that represent the side of the dice that is rolled.  i.e. If a 3 is rolled there will be a square on the screen with 3 circles in it.  Don't worry about getting the circles in the exact location as a real die.  Even if you just put the circles in a straight line in the square would be good enough for now.

you should take a look at Catalyst's 3D engine. I belive he posted some of his source code - take a look at that.

Try something like this

-----------------------------------

Just create an if statement that takes the value of the roll and draws 1,2,3...so on circles.

example roll
var roll : int := Rand.Int (1,6)
roll = 3
if roll=3 then
draw the following
_______
| O O O |
|           | 
|______|
if roll = 5 then
draw the following
_______
| O O O |
| O O    | 
|______|

simple if statements would be the easiest but they may take up quite
a few lines of code if you choose to draw circle by circle. You should learn
 for loops


The box is suspose to be a die :P
