I like the game!!!
! Wow that's a classic! You might be able to make a version of I like the game!!!
when we are done!

Running a Python file

Let's look at our Python file. Inside we see a function main that will contain all of your commands as you create the dice roller:

def main():
    #print('You rolled a die')

Below that, you'll see an if statement calling that function:

if __name__== "__main__":
    main()

By doing this, the function main will run whenever you run the Python script. As you develop the dice roller, be sure to only manipulate the code within the main function; nothing else will need to be changed.

Right now the only line in our main function is a print() function:#print('You rolled a die'). This will print whatever is inside the parenthesis. There's a # in front of it right now, which means it's a comment. Uncomment it by removing the # to let Python read it, and save the file.

You can run the Python script by typing python dice_roller.py in a terminal, provided you're in the correct directory. If not, run the script by typing python /path/to/directory/dice_roller.py, where /path/to/directory is replaced with the path to the file on your own system.

You'll see the following nifty, albeit not very useful line printed out in your terminal: "You've rolled a die". We'll make it more informative in a bit, but first, let's push those changes to GitHub.

Pushing your changes

Whenever you change files in your repository, you'll want to add and commit the file, which allows you to add a message detailing what you changed. Then you can push the updated version, along with your comments, to GitHub.

Let's do those three steps:

1. Git Add: git add dice_roller.py
2. Git Commit: git commit -m "I uncommented line 2"
3. Git Push: git push

Great!

You will be pushing code to your own repository several times as a reference.
