Dice
Original author: Daniel Freidus
Description:
Dice is not a game. It is a dice simulator. It ask's how many times you want to roll two dices, counts how much they are together, saves result on array and prints out results at the end of program.
Easy way to simulate 1 to 1000000 rounds of two dice's.
This follows original source pretty much. Line numbers are removed with few useless variables that are replaced with direct functions.
Also added an % meter for huge number of rounds to simulate.
