Knockout Dice Game Primer Tutorial
Further to the previous Dice Guessing Game Primer Tutorial, today, we have for you another Dice Game, this time …
- a dice game for 2 to 9 players … which you should establish, as necessary, straight up …
- then rename any player names you don’t want to be the default Player1 up to Player9 values, again, making use of the contenteditable=”true” global HTML attribute and the HTML div element’s onchange event to achieve this
- then in each round of competition the players choose a two dice roll value between 6 to 9 as the value they don’t want to see turn up, because if it does, they score nothing for that round of competition, else the players last not rejected when there is one or no players left, score a point in that round of competition … and …
- the web application randomly throws the dice the necessary number of times to find winner(s) once the “Roll the Dice for Each Player” button is pressed
We’d like to thank the very useful webpage for ideas for how (for the most part) this Knockout Dice Game design, execution and rules should go.
And again, we’d welcome your try out of this new Knockout Dice Guessing Game, and please feel free to tell us what you think. Its HTML and Javascript and CSS underpinning its functionality can be perused by downloading the knockout_dice_game.html link.

There are many HTML Entities based around punctuation that can add to the means by which you communicate ideas with your web applications.
In today’s new (up to two player) Dice Game, we use some of these to represent the numbers from 1 to 6 on the faces of the dice, similar to how you may have seen this happen with dice in various games you play, or hanging from your car’s front visor perhaps?
We’d welcome your try out of this Dice Guessing Game, and feel free to tell us what you think (or if its two of you “tell us what you think” … huh?!). Its HTML and Javascript and CSS underpinning its functionality can be perused by downloading the dice_game.html link. If you do, you’ll see the mildly interesting scoring system, that can be explained via the equation …
[CorrectAnswerScoreIncrement] = 7 - (NumberOfPossibilitiesInFull36PossibilitiesSet)
… allowing for the incorporation of this Javascript array initialization …
var probabilities=[0,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,2,1]; // score will be 7-guessValue
… that we were capable of working out ourselves but were reassured by the mathematics of this very useful link, thanks.
Another game thought unique to how we do things that has been introduced today, is that a user can change the default player names, those being Player1 and Player2 via an HTML div element utilizing the contenteditable=”true” global HTML attribute to make it look readable, but be also “quietly” editable.
