### 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.
