Craps Write a Python program called q2py that plays the dice

Craps. Write a Python program (called q2.py) that plays the dice game Craps. The player begins by throwing two standard dice. If the sum of the dice is 7 or 11, the player wins. If the sum is 2, 3 or 12, the player loses. Otherwise, the sum becomes the player\'s point. The player continues to roll until either the point comes up again, in which case the player wins, or the player throws 7, in which case they lose. Consider writing the Craps program without showing a visual representation of the two dice. Show the two random dice values as integers first. Once your program is working, go back and add the code for converting the dice values into a visual representation. Finally, when writing the code for representing the dice visually, you might think about taking advantage of common drawing components among the dice. If you can find commonality among how the dice are drawn on the screen, you can reduce the amount of code written to solve the problem. Also, if you use lists in this program to visually represent your dice, you will need to convert the list into a string using the join operator. See the code below. # A program that converts a list to a string. In order for this # to work, each element in the list, must be a string. a_list = [\'$\', \'8884\', \'yes\'] # Joins list1 elements without a separator. a_list_string1 = \'\'.join(a_list) # Joins list elements wth XYZ as a separator. a_list_string2 = \'XYZ\'.join (a_list) print(a_list) print(a_list_string1) print(a_list_string2) After the title of the game is displayed (line 1), the player presses the key to roll the two dice (line 3). Then, the visual representation for the dice roll of 5 and 2 is displayed on the screen (lines 4-8). Since a 7 was rolled on the first try, the player wins (lines 9-10). Craps: A Popular Dice Game Press to roll the dice. You rolled a 7 on your first roll. You win! After the title of the game is displayed (line 1), the player presses the key to roll the two dice (line 3). Then, the visual representation for the dice roll of 2 and 1 is displayed on the screen (lines 4-8). Since a 3 was rolled on the first try, the player loses (lines 9-10). Craps: A Popular Dice Game Press to roll the dice. You rolled a 3 on your first roll. You lose !
