Hello everyone! This is the first time I have really tried to program, so I'd like to apologize in advance if the code I'm about to present is god-awful. Here's the basic idea, A certain # of 10 sided dice (w/ values 1-10) will be rolled, if the resulting number on any die is above a certain threshold it will be recorded and if it above another threshold then it will be recorded, and "rolled" again.

For example If I instructed it to roll 5 dice with a threshold of 8 and a repeat of 10 and the results were: 1,3,7,10,8
the program would tally the 2 successes and "roll" the ten again resulting in a 9,
there would then be 3 successes and the program would end and output the tally to a text area.

So far I have an almost functional program, the current issue is that it will only allow the generation of one # at a time. If more then one "roll" is requested, or it hits the again threshold when rolling 1 die it will run forever.

Just so you know I'm implementing it into a GUI, but for simplicity's sake I'll leave that code out. And if it matters I'm working in the Net Beans IDE.

 java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class D10sim extends javax.swing.JFrame {
 
 
 private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
    int gen, tally, num1;
    double dice = Double.parseDouble(jTextField1.getText());
    double thresh = Double.parseDouble(jTextField2.getText());
    double again = Double.parseDouble(jTextField3.getText());
    gen = 0;
    tally = 0;
    {num1 = (int) ((Math.random() * 10) + 1);
     while (gen<dice)
    {if (num1>=again)
     {dice ++;
      tally ++;
        gen ++;}
     else
         if (num1>=thresh)
         {tally ++;
          gen ++;}
         else
             if (num1<thresh)
             {gen ++;}
        jTextArea1.setText(String.valueOf(tally));
    }
    }
 
}
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class D10sim extends javax.swing.JFrame {


 private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
    int gen, tally, num1;
    double dice = Double.parseDouble(jTextField1.getText());
    double thresh = Double.parseDouble(jTextField2.getText());
    double again = Double.parseDouble(jTextField3.getText());
    gen = 0;
    tally = 0;
    {num1 = (int) ((Math.random() * 10) + 1);
     while (gen<dice)
    {if (num1>=again)
     {dice ++;
      tally ++;
        gen ++;}
     else
         if (num1>=thresh)
         {tally ++;
          gen ++;}
         else
             if (num1<thresh)
             {gen ++;}
        jTextArea1.setText(String.valueOf(tally));
    }
    }
    
}

Thank you in advance you your help, any advice is much appreciated.
