Well i have a new project for class i have to take the dice stuff i worked on for the last project and create a game that uses dice. the more complex the project the more chance for bonus points :) but it can be a really simple game as well but i figure i mite as well come up with something in the middle so i can get some bonus and still not get to far over my head but throw out all kinds of ideas. small projects, medium projects, and larger ones :) thanks

What about a craps game?

or a cgi-script (useing c++) to run a on-line craps table?

How about Yahtzee? Simple, but it's damn fun. Especially if you make it multiplayer over the net.

Yatzy! (spelling?)

nah i think the first one is right,

Here are a few ideas:

Existing simple games with standard 6 sided dice - yatzee, craps, that sort of thing

Existing complex games with standard 6 sided dice - there are dice games that play like poker, hearts or cribbage that require score sheets (and/or a game board) and require a little more strategy.

Made up games/toys - bizarre sayings and stories "mad libs" generated by die rolls, dice races with continuing rolls and setback rolls, a chutes and ladders type game, a die roller for a pen and paper rpg, a screen saver that endlessly displays die rolls, you know - crazy stuff :)

The difficulty would be increased on any of these by programming a computer player, a mediated game of craps between two human players might be more interesting but having a computer player (that can play competitively) against a human would be more difficult to program. This would probably require you to have taken a class that covers expert systems and AI.

For a seriously ambitious project you could build a dice game framework - describe games to be played with a config file and then play them. This would basically require you to write a mini-interpreted language, so it is probably not a good till you have taken a class that class that covers compiler/interpreter design.

Most of these ideas are probably going to take longer that you have, but I hope some of the ideas are interesting at least.

Put me down for the craps table... want to bet big $ pm the field. :)

I would agree Craps would be the most fun, and the easiest one to configure.

And the one most likly to let you make money later if you ever wanted ;-)

well can someone give me a website about craps as i dont know how to play it :)
