Got an assignment today that's due monday, just finished it and thought id post it =)
Since the code might be hard to read on the boards, I also posted it in the codebin HERE
Code: Select all

throws: how many throws each player gets.
pleader: stands for "points leader" and is set to the leading players dice sum.
sum: is the sum of the dices after every players turn.
player: is the current players name.
nleader: stands for "name leader" and is the name of the leading player
