Subject: Beginner's tutorial and poor attempt at classes

Hi all

I just started with Ruby (yesterday actually). Have been reading the  
amazing Poignant Guide, and also a couple of other very basic  
tutorials. From one of these I wrote an example class, now my  
knowledge of Ruby has expanded a little I tried to rewrite the class  
to be even better.  I thought that the method "setme" would allow the  
@numberShowing to be changed to any number between 1 and 6... but  
obviously not...?


#/usr/bin/env ruby

class Die
   def initialize
     roll
   end

   def roll
     @numberShowing = 1 + rand(6)
   end
    def showing
     @numberShowing
   end

   def setme value
        if value === 1..6
       @numberShowing = value
     else
       puts "A dice has only six sides!"
     end
   end

end



Best regards
