-  - Make a roll method that randomly changes the current side facing up.  It should return an int
+  - Make another Constructor that takes an ''int'' parameter and sets that to the number of sides.
-  - Override the default ''toString()'' method so it returns a string reporting the number facing up and how many sides it has

+  - Make a NumberCubeTester that create a 12 sides die and a 6 sided die, and the makes a loop:
