Code Club followup

So at yesterdays code club we were looking at the new python lessons. So having ago at the roll a dice activity and being asked how to allow a user to choose which dice to throw.

So using stack overflow I seemed to have figured this out, even though I don't fully understand the code.

I have used this stack overflow page to help me.

So far this is more of a copy and paste, with a few edits to get the code working and the menu shorter as there are only 2 options in the menu other than exit.

This may not be all that useful, I will try and break down the code below.

from noemoji import * 
from datetime import *
from random import randint

imports the various modules needed

class switch(object):
    value = None
    def __new__(class_, value):
        class_.value = value
        return True

Allows user to choose options from a menu, by creating an object switch as part of a class

def case(*args):
    return any((arg == switch.value for arg in args))

Something to do with user imput and passing this back to the switch class

def roll_dice():
  print(python, 'can make a dice', dice)
  roll = randint(1, 6) #Generate a random number between 1 and 6
  print('You rolled a', roll) #Print the value of the roll variable
  #print(fire * roll) #Repeat the fire emoji to match the dice roll
  
def roll_dice2():
  print(python, 'can make randome numbers ', dice)
  roll = randint(1, 12) #Generate a random number between 1 and 12
  print('You rolled a', roll) #Print the value of the roll variable
  #print(fire * roll) #emoji to match the dice roll

Functions to roll the dice, so create a random number between two values depending on the size of dice required.

def show_menu():

    while True:
        print ("What do you want to do?")
        print ("1. Six sided dice")
        print ("2. Twelve sided dice")
        print ("3. Exit the program\n")            
        ask_for_input = input('Enter Option\n')
        ask_for_input = int(ask_for_input)
        
        while switch(ask_for_input):
            if case(1):
                roll_dice()
                break
            if case(2):
                roll_dice2()
                break
            if case(3):
              break
            break

Create a menu system, which uses the case and switch functions we created earlier

def main():
    show_menu()

Function to call the menu

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Calls the above function to call the menu function

If this is wrong, then remember I am NOT a coding expert. I am just trying by best and struggling.
