How to Use the Applet
Dice Placement
- Click and drag dice from rack to slot disks.
- Pink dice can only be placed on the red disk, blue dice can only be
placed on the blue disk and yellow dice can only be placed on the green
disk.
- Simultaneously place all the dice randomly on the disks (or randomly
rearrange the dice) by clicking on the "Randomize" button.
- Rearrange the dice by clicking and dragging.
- Dice "dropped" outside a valid position on one of the disks are
automatically placed into the rack.
- Double-clicking a die which is positioned on a disk returns that die to
the rack.
- Double-clicking on a die in the rack will place that die at the first
open slot in the appropriate disk, starting from the 12 o'clock position and
proceeding clockwise.
Playing the Game
- If all of the dice are positioned on the disks, you can play the game
(i.e. spin the disks) by clicking on the "Play" button.
Display Expected Value
- If all of the dice are positioned on the disks, you can display the
statistics for the current configuration by clicking on the "Display
Statistics" button.
