My dice throwing program in BASIC on my MSDOS 8086 computer was nice and simple, using the random number generator.

Rolling Dice in Linux with Bash:

#!/usr/bin/bash
DIE1=$(( ( RANDOM % 6 )  + 1 ))
DIE2=$(( ( RANDOM % 6 )  + 1 ))
echo -n "Your roll is ${DIE1} and ${DIE2} "
echo -n "and your total is "
echo ${DIE1}+${DIE2} | bc

$ rolldice
Your roll is 2 and 4 and your total is 6
$ rolldice
Your roll is 6 and 4 and your total is 10
$ rolldice
Your roll is 1 and 2 and your total is 3

Nice!

I don't think I have Linux though.
