I made Dice Game one night basically because I was bored.  Also, I saw this game and wanted it on my calculator.  Also, I wanted to make a dice routine for later programs.
 
Here's how to play:

Every number from 1 to 12 is shown on the top of the screen. The dice are rolled, and whatever the number on the dice add up to, you must eliminate from the list of numbers. You can eliminate 1 number or 2 or more numbers that add up to your roll. The object of the game is to eliminate all the pieces or to get the lowest score possible. The score is based on the pieces left and your dice roll. To eliminate a piece, use the left and right arrow keys to move the little pointer underneath the piece you want to eliminate and press [2nd]. You lose when there is no number on the board less than or equal to your dice roll (that is when you can't move).

That's about it.  Have fun!

Oh yeah, press exit to exit the game early.

I am releasing the code so you can give me help and suggestions, but please don't release it in modified form.  Send all updates (or suggestions) to me, and I will make them. This is, after all, a learning experience for me, and what good would it be if you didn't give me suggestions?  Thank you very much.
