Creating a simple Craps game in Java

[mer000]

Can you guys help me out? I'm trying to create a very simple game of craps but having some trouble. Below are the rules and requirements. Much appreciated!


Given the following rules for the game of Craps, simulate the play of a game, using the console to output the results of each roll and a WIN/LOSE message. Example output for a couple of runs is shown.

The player rolls two 6-sided dice (hint: use 1 + (int)(Math.random() * 6) ) to generate a random number between 1 and 6
A roll of 7 or 11 on the first try is a WIN
A roll of 2, 3 or 12 on the first try is a LOSE
Any other roll on the first try becomes the player's POINT
If a player rolled POINT, the player continues to roll until one of two things happens:
If a player in POINT rolls the POINT again, it is a WIN
If a player in POINT rolls 7, it is a LOSE
Example runs:
You rolled 7.
You win!

You rolled 12.
You lose!

You rolled 4. POINT is 4.
You rolled 3. POINT is 4.
You rolled 11. POINT is 4.
You rolled 4.
You win!

well, what have you done so far? from what i can tell its going to be a while or do-while loop with some if statements inside.

please in the code above,
how do you maintain a record of the games won or lost,and display the number of wins or losses,and the individual game results on completion. that is store the results in an array,in order to display the summary after the last game has completed.
for example Summary of games completed
number of wins:5
number of losses:6
game 1: won
game 2:lost.
