Craps Game, Beginner Coder :(

[thuren12]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Create a craps game

What is the problem you are having?
How do I continuously roll using a randint function to keep rolling DIFFERENT numbers?

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

var d1, d2 : int var point, sum : int randint (d1, 1, 6) randint (d2, 1, 6) point := d1 + d2 sum := d1 + d2 loop     delay (500)     put d1, ",", d2     exit when sum = 2 or sum = 3 or sum = 12 or sum = 7 or sum = 11 end loop if sum = 2 or sum = 3 or sum = 12 then     put "Sorry, you lost!" elsif sum = 7 or sum = 11 then     put "Grats, you won!" else     put d1, ",", d2 end if

edited it a little so you can understand what im trying to get at better.
Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1.1

Well for starters the randint would have to be in the loop, so it is constantly changing and not just staying the same value.

Oh awesome, thanks didn't think of that. Any way to shorten exit when or if statements? Like how mine is super long because of all the conditions?

ya put the rand int into the loop that should help and soon io will post the porogramm with the comments and you should try to do that it really helps

Shouldn't you let him figure it out on his own? Thats the only way he'll learn.

I learned myself that you have to redefine the number after it randomizes for another number...

Example would be a dice game!

Unless there is another quicker way which I don't know of...

I don't think I understand what you are saying.

Thank you for all the help guys. Appreciate it, I got my computer science class first period anyways so I'll ask my teacher more questions . It just drove me crazy last night.

OK LOOK WHEN YOU USE COMMENTS YOU ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND DONT PUT COMMENTS IF YOU DONT UDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!

[belarussian]

You dont necesarally need to put the rand int into the loop because it wont exit the first loop untill the sum thing is coorect so it will goback and do it again iuntil sum is equal

Are you referring to me?

Sry Tony, this is what i meant...

Turing:

var num := Rand.Int (1, 6) var c : string := "?" loop       put " You rolled a ", num, "!"       put " Would you like to roll again?"       get c       if c = "yes" then             num := Rand.Int (1, 6) %<------- Right here       elsif c = "no" then             quit       else             put "Invalid answer!"       end if end loop
