_{Project 1 — Step 14 of 16}

⭐ Step 14 — Get input

➡️ Ask the player how many sides they want on the dice.

We use input() to ask the player a question. Whatever they type goes into a box.

✏️ What to type

At the top of the roll_dice() function (before the roll = randint(...) line), add two lines:

    max = input('How many sides on your dice?:')
    print(f'That is a D {max}')

Keep them pushed in by 4 spaces so they stay inside the function.

# imports
from datetime import datetime
from random import randint

# variables
world = '🌍🌎🌏'
python = 'Python 🐍'
fire = '🔥'

# Function definitions
def roll_dice():
    roll = randint(1, 6)
    print(f'You rolled a {roll} {fire * roll}')

# Put code to run under here
print(f'Hello {world}')
print(f'Welcome to {python}')
print(f'{python} is good at maths!')
print(f'{111111111 * 111111111}')
print(f'The date and time is {datetime.now()}')
roll_dice()

Tap ▶ Run. The program will pause and ask:

How many sides on your dice?:

Type a number like 20 and press Enter. You should see:

That is a D 20
You rolled a 4 🔥🔥🔥🔥

(For now the roll is still 1–6. Next step we’ll fix that.)

Next → Step 15
