Examples

# Basics:
dice()
table(dice(10^4))

# 5-sided dice:
dice(events = 1:5)
table(dice(100, events = 5))

# Strange dice:
dice(5, events = 8:9)
table(dice(100, LETTERS[1:3]))

# Note:
dice(10, 1)
table(dice(100, 2))

# Note an oddity:
dice(10, events = 8:9)  # works as expected, but 
dice(10, events = 9:9)  # odd: see sample() for an explanation.

# Limits:
dice(NA)
dice(0)
dice(1/2)
dice(2:3)
dice(5, events = NA)
dice(5, events = 1/2)
dice(NULL, NULL)
