Pig the dice game

Pig the dice game is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

The game of Pig is a multiplayer game played with a single six-sided die. The object of the game is to reach 100 points or more. Play is taken in turns. On each person's turn that person has the option of either

1. Rolling the dice: where a roll of two to six is added to their score for that turn and the player's turn continues as the player is given the same choice again; or a roll of 1 loses the player's total points for that turn and their turn finishes with play passing to the next player.
2. Holding: The player's score for that round is added to their total and becomes safe from the effects of throwing a one. The player's turn finishes with play passing to the next player.

Task goal

The goal of this task is to create a program to score for and simulate dice throws for a two-person game.

This program scores and throws the dice for a two player game of Pig

from random import randint

while max(safescore) < maxscore:

   rolling = input("Player %i: (%i, %i) Rolling? (Y) "
                   % (player, safescore[player], score)).strip().lower() in {'yes', 'y', }
   if rolling:
       rolled = randint(1, 6)
       print('  Rolled %i' % rolled)
       if rolled == 1:
           print('  Bust! you lose %i but still keep your previous %i'
                 % (score, safescore[player]))
           score, player = 0, (player + 1) % playercount
       else:
           score += rolled

       safescore[player] += score
