Task 1 Add Task 1 Simulating a dice – As heading 1 Add the task as ‘normal’ A game uses dice with 4, 6 and 12 sides to determine various outcomes. Design, code and test a program that will simulate throwing dice with these numbers of sides. The user should be able to input which dice is being thrown, eg 4, 6 or 12. The program should output the dice chosen and the score, for example ‘6 sided dice thrown, score 4’ The user should be able to repeat this process as many times as required.

Adding in your sub-headings For each task you need to plan, develop, test and evaluate. Let’s add these headings in for task 1. Task 1 Planning Task 1 Development Task 1 Testing Task 1 Evaluation Change them to heading 2 and then press enter after each one Update the contents table

Planning We need some more sub headings – Heading 3 Analysis Flowchart Pseudocode Success criteria Variables, Structures and Validation This is a table that has 3 columns and multiple rows Now we need a drawing canvas for the Flowchart section – This needs to be normal

Development We need some more sub headings – Heading 3 Development and Systematic Testing Final program

Testing 2 sub headings – Heading 3 Test Plan Testing evidence Now we need to add a table for the test plan (2x8) Test Expected Outcome

Evaluation 3 sub headings – Heading 3 Evaluation against success criteria What went well How I could improve further
