I wanted to make it a little more interesting by using ascii art
representations of the six die. When printing, however, they do so
vertically and not horizontally. Here's a snippet of the code:
die_1 = """
.-----.
| |
| o |
| |
`-----'"""
The triple quoted strings have newlines embedded in them.
print(die_1, die_2)
So, how would I get this to display horizontally?
Like so...
.-----. .-----.
| | |o |
| o | | |
| | | o|
`-----' `-----'
You can split the strings and print each pair side by side separated by
a gap. Sometjing like
die_1 = """
.-----.
| |
| o |
| |
`-----'""".split()
etc...
separator = " "
for index,line in enumerate(die1):
print (line + separator + die2[index])
Untested, but I hope you get the idea.
PS. Personally I'd keep the dies in a list(or dict)
so you can access die1 as dies[0] and die2 as dies[1]
The index/key is then easily determined from the
roll value.
