We'll reuse the same approach taken in the Arduino section for representing the dice roll using patterns of NeoPixels.
Storing the Face Patterns
Here's a simple approach for storing the patterns of the NeoPixels for the dice rolls. We can use a dictionary, which is a storage class in CircuitPython that can store any amount of values which are accessed by using their associated keys. These are called key-value pairs, and a dictionary can hold any number of them. We will use the dice roll number as our key and then a tuple of NeoPixels values associated with the number to represent the dice face patterns.
Like this:
dice_pixels = {
1 : (2,),
2 : (4, 9),
3 : (0, 4, 7),
4 : (1, 3, 6, 8),
5 : (0, 2, 4, 5, 9),
6 : (0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9)
}
You'll see this get used later in the final code.
