Lua porting notes

• I did not like the old Western movie language style in the game introduction and decided to tone it down, even if this deviates from the original BASIC version.

• The craps_game function contains the main game logic: it

  • prints the game credits and presents the intro question;
  • asks for the end result and computes the original numer;
  • calls explain_solution to print the various steps of the computation;
  • presents the outro question and prints a bolt if necessary.

• Added basic input validation to accept only valid integers for numeric input.

• Minor formatting edits (lowercase, punctuation).

• Any answer to a "yes or no" question is regarded as "yes" if the input line starts with 'y' or 'Y', else no.
