Dice Rolling Simulator

Due 11/6 at 11:59

A common way to add excitement to games is to add randomness. For board games, this is usually in the form of dice; in this project, you will create a program that emulates rolling dice.

Your program must satisfy the following specifications:

• Allow user to select the number of faces of the die they will roll (D6, D12, or D20)
• In a loop, allow the user to do one of two things:
  • Roll the die (and print result)
  • Exit the loop
• Load the total number of rolls from a file
• Print the following information
  • Highest roll
  • Number of rolls (this session)
  • Number of rolls (for all time)
• Save the number of rolls (for all time) to a file

Reading a File

When trying to read a file that does not exists, you will get an error like this:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

One way to avoid this is by checking if the file exists by using a function in the os module:

import os
if os.path.exists("my_file.txt"):
  # TODO read the file
