Shut the box

For those who may not know, this is a "simulator" for the game shut the box in order to try to find the best strategy not to lose the game.

The variant I'm used to play however, forces you to sum your dices dots, and to select one or two values that also adds up to the previous sum.

This is different from what wikipedia says where you can sum or subtract the dots, and then choose whatever available digits that adds up to your previous calculus.

Purpose

There are actually two purposes for this little program.

First is to really take over my opponents in this game constantly !

The second, and the principle one, is to begin writing rust on a small project which took me an afternoon. I may have to add unit tests, maybe, if I take time at some point !!!
