Craps Test Python
(admittedly my test is running on python 2.2.2, but as this isn't a python core related change i doubt that matters). After others have tested this on other platforms with success I believe we can close this bug. This patch would probably be good for python 2.3.2. Msg17212 - Author: Anthony Baxter (anthonybaxter) Date: 2003-09-28 05:11. This is a command line entry point. It means that if you execute the script alone by running python test.py at the command line, it will call unittest.main. This executes the test runner by discovering all classes in this file that inherit from unittest.TestCase. This is one of many ways to execute the unittest test runner. Answer to (Random, 15 pts Craps is a dice—based game played in many casinos. The game starts with the player throwing a pair of standard, six—sided dice. Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
Planning Strategies¶
After each round, the program should ask the user if he/she wants to continue playing. The game continues until the player runs out of money, or the player chooses to exit.
- The majority of your program should be functions. Break the game down into simple steps or instructions - each of those will have its own function.
- Each function should have a single purpose. If you find that you have written a function that is doing multiple things, it means you should break it down further into more functions. It’s okay to refactor code mid-development!
- The one exception to the above should be your main game function, which will contain the game loop, as well as any persistent variables. Try to keep this one as small as possible, utilizing functions as much as you can.
- Take advantage of
return
statements. Your code should not have any global variables. Data should be passed to functions through arguments, and from functions through thereturn
statement. - Which variables will you have to keep track of during all the rounds, and after all the rounds are completed? Make a note of which ones should be initialized outside of your loop.
- Be sure to provide the player with the appropriate prompts, letting them know their options and limitations for input.
- Consider what control structures are necessary for the program.
- Consider the order of occurrences - what should the program do first?
However, unlike Rock Paper Scissors, in this lab you will be required to validate user’s inputs. This means that:
- Players should not be able to enter a negative number as a bet
- Players should not be able to bet more money than they have in their bank
- Players should not be able to bet decimal amounts of money - only whole numbers. (recall: A boolean to check if
x
is an integer or not would be:xint(x)
. This will returnTrue
isx
is an integer andFalse
otherwise. It works because of math.) - When prompted with the choice of ending the game or continuing, the question should repeat until the user has entered one choice or the other.

This also means that your labs will have quite a few while
loops. Keep that in mind!
- function name: roll2dice
- arguments: none
- purpose: generates a random dice roll for two dice and prints out that the two rolls are
- returns: the sum of the dice roll
- function name: get_bet
- arguments: bank amount
- purpose: to get the amount to be bet from the user. Bet must be a positive integer and no more than they have in their bank. Should repeatedly ask the user to make a bet until they enter a valid one
- returns: the chosen valid bet amount
And so on. The above are examples, and do not have to be followed. There are many ways these games can be organized. However, notice that the names of my functions are verbs - just remember that functions should do things, and therefore have names that reflect what they do.

You should name your file FILN_craps.py
, where FILN is your first initial and last name, no space.
