Dice Guessing Game Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

There are many HTML Entities based around punctuation<\/a> that can add to the means by which you communicate ideas with your web applications.<\/p>\n

In today’s new (up to two player) Dice Game, we use some of these to represent the numbers from 1 to 6 on the faces of the dice, similar to how you may have seen this happen with dice in various games you play, or hanging from your car’s front visor perhaps?<\/p>\n

We’d welcome your try out<\/a> of this Dice Guessing Game, and feel free to tell us what you think (or if its two of you “tell us what you think” … huh?!). Its HTML and Javascript and CSS underpinning its functionality can be perused by downloading the dice_game.html<\/a> link. If you do, you’ll see the mildly interesting scoring system, that can be explained via the equation …<\/p>\n


\n[CorrectAnswerScoreIncrement] = (7 - [NumberOfPossibilitiesInFull36PossibilitiesSet])
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

… allowing for the incorporation of this Javascript array initialization …<\/p>\n


\nvar probabilities=[0,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,2,1]; \/\/ score will be 7-guessValue
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

… that we were capable of working out ourselves but were reassured by the mathematics of this very useful link<\/a>, thanks.<\/p>\n

Another game thought unique to how we do things that has been introduced today, is that a user can change the default player names, those being Player1<\/i> and Player2<\/i> via an HTML div element utilizing the contenteditable<\/a>=”true” global HTML attribute to make it look readable, but be also “quietly” editable.<\/p>\n

If this was interesting you may be interested in this<\/a> too.<\/p>\n
