This challenge involves designing and implementing a simple interactive prototype that emulates the roll of a 20-sided dice, displaying a random number between 1 and 20 each time it is rolled.
Detailed Instructions
- Choose Your Tool:
- Select the tool you will use to implement the dice roll. Options might include Figma (with interactive components), Adobe XD (with prototyping features), HTML/CSS/JavaScript, or any other tool you are comfortable with.
- Research Random Number Generation:
- If you are using a prototyping tool, review how to create random interactions or use plugins that support randomness.
- If you are coding, review how to generate random numbers within your chosen programming language.
- Design the Dice Interface:
- Create a simple UI design for the dice roll, including:
- A button to initiate the roll
- A display area to show the result of the dice roll
- Keep the design clean and focused on functionality.
- Implement the Dice Roll Functionality:
- Set up your workspace in the chosen tool.
- Implement the random number generation:
- Prototyping Tools: Use interactive components or plugins to simulate randomness.
- Development Tools: Write code to generate a random number between 1 and 20.
- Connect the roll button to the random number generator and display the result.
- Test the Implementation:
- Test the dice roll multiple times to ensure it produces random numbers between 1 and 20.
- Check for any bugs or issues in the interaction or code.
- Refine and Enhance:
- Make any necessary adjustments to the design or functionality based on testing.
- Consider adding enhancements such as animation effects for the dice roll or additional UI elements for improved user experience.

Resources Needed
- Your chosen design or development tool
- Reference materials or tutorials for random number generation in your chosen tool
Expected Outcomes
- A functional prototype that accurately simulates the roll of a 20-sided dice.
- A simple, user-friendly interface for initiating and displaying the dice roll.
- An understanding of how to implement randomness in interactive prototypes or code.
Tips:
- Keep the design minimal to focus on functionality.
- Ensure the random number generator covers the full range from 1 to 20.
