Building a Dice Game

This tutorial is intentionally lightweight for now. The important current runtime fact is that Xian's random module is deterministic, not secret.

When a Dice Game Makes Sense

Use a simple dice game when:

• you want a teaching example for state + events + payouts
• you accept deterministic pseudo-randomness seeded from block context

Do not use it as if it were cryptographically unpredictable randomness.

Core Pattern

1. store balances or escrow state in Hash / Variable
2. call random.seed() before using random.randint(...)
3. emit an event describing the roll and payout
4. keep the payout logic simple and auditable

For the exact random caveats, see the standard-library documentation under contracting.stdlib.bridge.random.
