DiceGame

Author-Shanu Goyanka

A typescript command line tool for playing a cool multiplayer dice game. The "Game of Dice" is a multiplayer game where N players roll a 6 faced dice in a round-robin fashion. Each time a player rolls the dice their points increase by the number (1 to 6) achieved by the roll.

As soon as a player accumulates M points they complete the game and are assigned a rank. Remaining players continue to play the game till they accumulate at least M points. The game ends when all players have accumulated at least M points.

Getting started

This project is typescript cli using Node JS as framework. I had tried to maintain the code structure easy to understand & maintain. Project is open for suggestions & bugs can be reports as well.

Prerequisties

NodeJS

Build and Run

Features

• The order in which the users roll the dice is decided randomly at the start of the game.
• If a player rolls the value "6" then they immediately get another chance to roll again and move ahead in the game.
• If a player rolls the value "1" two consecutive times then they are forced to skip their next turn as a penalty.
• Light-weight & well documented project.
• Linting (100% covered) with [Prettier-vscode].
