I was playing around with the code on the video. When I replace roll: function ()... with roll: () =>... I get NaN as a result on when clicking the button on the page, but still get a number when I run dice.roll() in the console. Is there a reason for this?
FWIW I'm using Firefox 58.0.2 on Linux Mint 18.3.
