Hi Jim,
I would like to work on your project for dice games. I am interested in the
algorithms for determining the various n of a kind and strait of n dice.
Computing the score etc. and other house keeping work is probably needed as
well.
Looking forward to your first post.

Hi,
I have decided to take this on as a personal project. I am going to do this on
my new website. I am getting the domain name shortly. I will post to the list
when I create a post on the site. My reason for doing this is to force myself
to learn Python, and I know enough about Python to be able to tell that doing
the game will introduce, or reintroduce myself to lots of basic Python
concepts.
I would ask a favor of the experienced Python people on the list. Would you
please correct my inexperienced mistakes by commenting on-list?
If someone would like to participate with me, I’m unsure how we would
coordinate, but I was thinking of the idea of putting the code on GitHub, so we
can also learn to use that very important tool together. I was thinking that
putting the code on GitHub as the game evolves in its various iterations would
be educational. I got this idea from seeing the code from a Flask book done
that way. It was very nice.
My goal is to put up one post a week. So I’m thinking that on Sundays you will
see a new post go up. I think I can work on the post during the week and have
Saturday to finish it off in time to publish it Sunday morning.
I will have some posts on related technologies if they go along with the
project. For instance, I may post about Hugo, which I am using to build the
site, or VS Code, which I am using to write the code and the site. But the goal
is to put out something from the project on Sundays.
Thanks for reading.
Jim
