### Lua porting notes
|
|
|
|
- The `craps_main` function contains the main game loop, which iteratively
|
|
plays craps rounds by calling `play_round` and tracks winnings and losings.
|
|
- Replaced the original routine that tries to scramble the random number
|
|
generator with a proper seed initializer in Lua: `math.randomseed(os.time())`
|
|
(as advised in the general porting notes).
|
|
- Added basic input validation to accept only positive integers for the
|
|
wager and the answer to the "If you want to play again print 5" question.
|
|
- "If you want to play again print 5 if not print 2" reads a bit odd but
|
|
we decided to leave it as is and stay true to the BASIC original version. |
