Question

Write a function that will take in a number (from 1-6) through the parameter, and will display the appropriate ASCII depiction of a dice face with pips. Then create a program that generates a random number 1-6 and calls your Function to display the random dice face.

The ASCII dice should look like one of the following examples: I* 11* *1

Using python 3.6 to solve this problem.

Answer 1

import random 
def printDice(n):
    print('+-----+')

    # second row
    if n == 1:
        print('|' + ' '*5 +'|')
    elif n == 2 or n == 3:
        print('|*' + ' '*4 +'|')
    else:
        print('|*' + ' '*3 +'*|')

    # third row
    if n == 1 or n == 3 or n == 5:
        print('|' + ' '*2 + '*' + ' '*2 +'|')
    elif n == 2 or n == 4:
        print('|' + ' '*5 +'|')
    else:
        print('|*' + ' '*3 +'*|')

    # fourth row
    if n == 1:
        print('|' + ' '*5 +'|')
    elif n == 2 or n == 3:
        print('|' + ' '*4 +'*|')
    else:
        print('|*' + ' '*3 +'*|')

    print('+-----+\n\n')

for _ in range(10):
    printDice(random.randint(1, 6))
