Roll the Dice! 🎲

Let's make the computer roll a dice for us! 🎲 Every roll is a surprise — just like a real game.

Meet random 🎰

Python has a helper called random for surprises. We bring it in with import.

import random
print('random is ready! 🎲')

A Random Number 🔢

random.randint(1, 6) picks a number from 1 to 6, just like a dice!

import random
print(random.randint(1, 6))

Run It Again 🔁

Run this a few times. You'll get a different number each time. That's the magic! ✨

import random
print(random.randint(1, 6))

Save the Roll 📦

Store your roll in a variable so you can use it.

import random
roll = random.randint(1, 6)
print('You rolled', roll)

A Dice Emoji 🎲

Make it fun by showing a dice emoji with the number!

import random
roll = random.randint(1, 6)
print('🎲 You got', roll)

Did You Roll a 6? 🍀

Use if to check for a lucky six!

import random
roll = random.randint(1, 6)
if roll == 6:
    print('Lucky six! 🍀')
else:
    print('You rolled', roll)

High or Low? ⬆️⬇️

Is your roll big or small? Let's check!

import random
roll = random.randint(1, 6)
if roll >= 4:
    print(roll, '- a high roll! ⬆️')
else:
    print(roll, '- a low roll ⬇️')

Roll Many Times 🔂

Use a loop to roll the dice 5 times in a row!

import random
for i in range(5):
    print('🎲', random.randint(1, 6))

A Coin Flip Too 🪙

random can also flip a coin — pick from a list!

import random
coin = random.choice(['Heads', 'Tails'])
print('🪙', coin)

Roll and Cheer 🥳

Put it together for a fun single roll!

import random
roll = random.randint(1, 6)
print('Rolling... 🎲')
print('You got a', roll, '!')
