JavaScript

Math.ceil

Instead of using Math.floor( Math.random() * 6 ) + 1;

wouldn't Math.ceil( Math.random() * 6 ); produce the same thing?

The Math.floor() function returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number. MDN

The Math.ceil() function always rounds a number up to the next largest integer. MDN

So in my opinion the answer is yes, as long as you remove "+1" from your JS

Math.ceil( Math.random() * 6 );
