A six faced dice is used in various gambling games. The following Java program simulates the standard 6 face dice game. The program uses an infinite loop to roll dice until the user decides to exit the program. In addition to printing the face value, the following program can also draw the dice face using ascii characters.

How to Implement Dice Roller Game in Java

import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;

// dice roller java source code
// Also outputs the dice face as ASCII art
public class DiceRollerInJava {

    // This has printing information for all numbers
    // For each number,3x3 matrix represents the face
    int[][][] faceConfig = { { { 0, 0, 0 }, { 0, 1, 0 }, { 0, 0, 0 } }, 
                           { { 0, 0, 1 }, { 0, 0, 0 }, { 1, 0, 0 } },
                           { { 0, 0, 1 }, { 0, 1, 0 }, { 1, 0, 0 } }, 
                           { { 1, 0, 1 }, { 0, 0, 0 }, { 1, 0, 1 } },
                           { { 1, 0, 1 }, { 0, 1, 0 }, { 1, 0, 1 } }, 
                           { { 1, 0, 1 }, { 1, 0, 1 }, { 1, 0, 1 } } };

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        DiceRollerInJava dice = new DiceRollerInJava();
        while (true) {
            int result = dice.roll();
            System.out.println("dice face value:" + result);
            dice.draw(result);

            System.out.println("Roll again? (type no to quit):");
            String input = scanner.nextLine();
            if (input.equalsIgnoreCase("n") || 
                    input.equalsIgnoreCase("no")) {
                System.out.println("Bye!");
                scanner.close();
                return;
            }
        }
    }

    // Draw the dice face using ascii characters
    private void draw(int value) {
        int[][] displayVal = faceConfig[value - 1];
        System.out.println("-----");

        for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
            System.out.print("|");
            for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
                if (displayVal[i][j] == 1) {
                    System.out.print("o");
                } else {
                    System.out.print(" ");
                }
            }
            System.out.println("|");
        }
        System.out.println("-----");

    }

    // Roll the dice in Java
    private int roll() {
        Random r = new Random();
        return r.nextInt(6) + 1;
    }
}

Here is the Java dice rolling game in action,
