		  * This is how we generate a random number.
			* Math.random() will, at runtime, give you a random real number between 0 and 1
			* (remember, there's a lot of those :) )
			* Math.floor will take whatever is in the parentheses attached to it, and remove everything fractional.
			* So Math.floor(3.1417) turns into 3
			* So, what we have here:
			* Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1.
			* starting at the center (Math.random() * 6), generates a random number, and multiplies it by six, giving
			* us some sort of real number between 0 and 6.
			* When we do Math.floor() to that, we get a WHOLE number that's 0-5 (we didn't round up, we just cut off 
			* the fraction).
			* So we add one to that, and we get a random integer, 1-6 as our final result.
