Keep Score! 📊
A game is more fun when you keep points! 🏆 Let's add up your dice rolls into a score.
Start at Zero 0️⃣
Every score starts at 0. Make a points box.
points = 0
print('Score:', points)Add a Roll ➕
Roll a die and add it to your points!
import random
points = 0
roll = random.randint(1, 6)
points += roll
print('You rolled', roll, 'Score:', points)Add Another Roll 🎲
Keep adding rolls to grow your score.
import random
points = 0
points += random.randint(1, 6)
points += random.randint(1, 6)
print('Score after 2 rolls:', points)Loop to Add Rolls 🔂
Use a loop to roll and add points many times!
import random
points = 0
for i in range(3):
points += random.randint(1, 6)
print('Total score:', points)Show Each Step 👀
Print the score growing after each roll!
import random
points = 0
for i in range(3):
roll = random.randint(1, 6)
points += roll
print('Rolled', roll, '- score is now', points)Two Players 🧑🤝🧑
Give each player their own score box!
import random
alex = random.randint(1, 6)
sam = random.randint(1, 6)
print('Alex:', alex, 'Sam:', sam)Who's Winning? 🥇
Compare scores to see who is ahead!
alex = 8
sam = 5
if alex > sam:
print('Alex is winning! 🥇')
else:
print('Sam is winning! 🥇')It's a Tie! 🤝
What if scores are equal? Check for a tie!
alex = 7
sam = 7
if alex == sam:
print('It is a tie! 🤝')Bonus Points! ⭐
Roll a 6? Give bonus points!
import random
points = 0
roll = random.randint(1, 6)
points += roll
if roll == 6:
points += 5
print('Bonus! +5 ⭐')
print('Score:', points)Full Score Round 🎯
Roll 5 times and show your final score!
import random
points = 0
for i in range(5):
points += random.randint(1, 6)
print('Final score:', points, '🎯')Quick Check ✅
