Python Dice Game

Objective: To create a production system to play a dice game

Task: To write a Python module to make decisions in playing the dice game

Game rule

• In every game, the player has 5 dice.
• The player is allowed 5 rerolls.
• For each reroll, the player can decide which dice to be kept and choose any number of dice to reroll.
• The game ends after 5 rerolls or when the player decides not to reroll.
• After the game ends, points are calculated based on the output combination of the dice.
• Every player will play 5 games.

Points

Code

class Player :
def __init__ ( self , . . . ) :
. . .
def play ( self , dice_face , available_rerolls ):
. . .
return [ . . . ] #indices of dice to be rerolled

class Player :

create a class with the name Player

def play ( self , dice_face , available_rerolls ):

1. create a method called play for the class
2. inputs:

• dice_face - an array of the current dice faces
• available_rerolls - number of rerolls available in the current game

return [ . . . ] #indices of dice to be rerolled

1. return a list from the function play
2. the list contains the indices of dice (in dice_face) to be rerolled
3. an empty list implies the player would like to stop rerolling for the current game

Example

1. At the beginning of a game, the dice will be rolled. For example, the result of the initial roll is 6,6,5,3,1

dice_face = [6,6,5,3,1]
available_rerolls = 5

2. If the player decides to keep the two sixes, i.e. the dice with index 0 and 1, the return value of the play function is [2,3,4] as the dice with index 2, 3, and 4 are to be rerolled.
