Place for questions and studies
It’s good that you came to the Stack Exchange, even if you are an beginner.
It will help you learn more about Python, and any other programming languages you want.
It can be difficult at first, but keep looking for more information and you will get better over time.
Look also at Stack Overflow, which is for codes with errors.
Another version of the code with explanations.
This is a version of your program with explanations about functions and details that are basic and you can learn, so read it slow, don't rush.
program_run = True
#Dont put 1-letter or 1-word names on variables,
#it will be harder to remenber what
# it does on the code.
#and use "_" between words,

#You use this function when knows this part
# can raise an Exception, so you can try fix.
#if you use an "try:", you need to use an "except:".

#There are many python defalt Exceptions, like:
# ImportError, ValueError, OverflowError, and many others.

# but doesn't have the nescessary modules,

def dice_game_code(Dice_faces: int) -> int:
#When creating an function, it's good you make like this:
# 1. Name your function with an good explainer name.
# 2. When putting an Parameter (Like the Dice_faces),
# its good to write the Type that this parameter
# needs to be. In this example, Dice_faces
# needs to be an integer.
# 3. After the end of the () add an "-> 'return type'",
# telling the type of information this function returns.
# if it returns nothing:
# put "None"
# 4. Right under, but into, the function, add an Docstring:
# This is an comment text explaining the Parameters, what returns,
# and what this function do.
# You can make this using """..."""

You can copy and paste this code to see it working.
here is the code with no comments, so its better to read the actual code:
