Programming Challenge - Dice Game.

[Chad]

Let's have a programming challenge just for fun.

Objective
Create a game in any language that will do the following.

• Play a game of dice against someone else. (ex: Player 1 vs Player 2)
• Must play a minimum of 2 games.
• Calculate the ratio of the game (Win / Lose / Draw) again Player vs Player
• Display the ratio in a pie chart.

You can add any feature you want. Unlimited players and unlimited games are perfect example. Remember it's just for fun. Just to test your skills and see if you can do it.
