Purpose

This is a bonus exercise for especially curious and active students :).

Instructions

If you are done and have some time left, use the time creatively! For example:

• Display a real dice instead of a number.
• Allow the user to throw multiple dice at once (Yes both "die" and "dice" are legit singular forms of the word). Several ways to do it. One of them: if you send an HTTP POST (instead of a GET) and specify n=X (where X is the number of dice you want to get, in the range 1..10) to the same API url, you will get a JSON array back with X dice values, instead of a single value.
• Explore other options for sending HTTP requests. Did you use fetch with promises? Try fetch with await. Or try XmlHttpRequest.
