craps_simulation, an Octave code which simulates the gambling game of craps, in which a player rolls two dice. On the first roll, the player wins immediately if a 7 or 11 is rolled, and loses immediately if a 2, 3 or 12 is rolled. Otherwise, the sum of the dice on this first roll is called the point. The player now continues to roll the dice, winning if the point is rolled again, and losing if a 7 is rolled.
