Object diagrams represent a particular point in time. As we have it currently, the dice are
unrolled and all pieces are in their start locations. So let's say we roll the dice once for Player1 and
get a 5 and a 3. One of their pieces can move from start and then move 3 spaces.
A. Change the value of Die1 to 5 and the value of Die2 to 3. B. Change the value of PieceNumber 1's Location from 0 to 7 (The space they move out to is
space 4 plus the 3 from the other die).
The object diagram below represents the state of the application after 1 roll.

C. Let's have Player2 roll. They get a 3 for Die1 and a 2 for Die2 meaning they can move a piece
from their start space. D. Change the value of Die1 to 3 and the value of Die2 to 2. E. Change the value of the Location field on PieceNumber 5 to 22 (that is the space on the
board outside of the Blue start).
The object diagram below represents the state of the application after 2 rolls.
