Simulating dice game Crabs

Gman · March 2016

Hi everybody

I've been trying to simulate the dice game Crabs also called Seven Eleven. For those of you who don't know how the game works: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craps

This is what I have so far:

(set:$diceroll1 to (random: 1,6))
(set:$diceroll2 to (random: 1,6))
(set:$diceroll1 + $diceroll2 to $result1)
(if: $result1 = 7,11)[Natural!]
(if: $result1 = 2,3,12)[Fail!]
(if: $result1 = 4,5,6,8,9,10)[Point!]

Just shows me a whole lot of errors though. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Twine 2 and Harlow.

Thanks for the help

First. Craps =/= Crabs.

Second. Everything after your first two macro invocations is incorrect. Try something like the following:

{
(set: $diceroll1 to (random: 1,6))
(set: $diceroll2 to (random: 1,6))
(set: $result1 to $diceroll1 + $diceroll2)
(if: $result1 is 7 or it is 11)[Natural!]
(else-if: $result1 is 2 or it is 3 or it is 12)[Fail!]
(else-if: ($result1 >= 4 and it <= 6) or (it >= 8 and it <= 10))[Point!]
}

That worked. Thanks.

I created nine re-roll passages just to be safe. After 4 re-rolls you usually get a win or fail. I used this code:

{
(set: $diceroll1 to (random: 1,6))
(set: $diceroll2 to (random: 1,6))
(set: $result2 to $diceroll1 + $diceroll2)
(if: $result2 is $result1)[(print: $result2) - [[On point!]]]
(else-if: $result2 is 7)[(print: $result2) - [[Crap!]]]
(else-if: ($result2 is not $result1) and (it is 2 or it is 3 or it is 4 or it is 5 or it is 6 or it is 8 or it is 9 or it is 10 or it is 11 or it is 12))[(print: $result2) - [[Point!]]]
}

Time to do some gambling ;D

Howdy, Stranger!
