This is what I have to do
Create a dice application. The player begins with a score of 1000. After entering the number of points to risk, the player clicks "Roll Dice". The points on each die is displayed. If the total is even, the player loses the points at risk. If the total is odd, The player receives double the points at risk. The program code should include a RollDice method that generates one random, each time it is called, in a range from 1 to 6
I do not mean to push a whole application on you guys but I do not even know where to get started. Any help on how to get started would be helpful
I thought I could use this as a start:
/*
* SlotMachine3View.java
* Jason Carrier 2008/11/3
* generates 3 random numbers between 1-3 a the the press of a button
* then calculates your tokens remaining
