For two blocks require three terminals with modems, 24 bundled cable, a pair of non-ferrous wire and 14 redstone lamps.
How to separate the wires can be seen in the picture.
Two terminals that are on the dice are the receivers, and a third transmitter signal from the player.

CodeSpoiler
Transmitter:
while true do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
term.write("Press Enter to roll the dice")
local Event, d = os.pullEvent("key")
if Event == "key" and d == 28 then
rednet.open("top")
rednet.send(1, "start") --ID of the first computer and command.
sleep(0,7)
rednet.send(2, "start") --ID of the second computer and command.
end
end
Receiver:
while true do
rednet.open("top")
i, s = rednet.receive()
if s == "start" and i == 3 then --Your command and the ID of the transmitter.
local n = math.random(6)
term.write(n)
cell = {}
cell[1] = colors.combine(colors.yellow)
cell[2] = colors.combine(colors.orange, colors.white)
cell[3] = colors.combine(colors.gray, colors.yellow, colors.pink)
cell[4] = colors.combine(colors.gray, colors.magenta, colors.lime, colors.pink)
cell[5] = colors.combine(colors.gray, colors.magenta, colors.lime, colors.pink, colors.yellow)
cell[6] = colors.combine(colors.gray, colors.magenta, colors.white, colors.orange, colors.lime, colors.pink)
numb = cell[n]
rs.setBundledOutput("back", 0)
sleep(1)
rs.setBundledOutput("back", numb)
end
end

I like this! Would you be able to convert this to display on a screen? That would be neat to do! *IDEA*

Impressive, a much simpler Dice Program than a textual one

I find the text based ones just more difficult to line up the characters…

Working on a fix for that. My gui api is currently in production. As soon as I sort out the attempt to index error I will let you have a go with it.
I've already sorted text alignment and I've got plans for other stuff, it's just that one bug getting in my way and it doesn't make sense.

quick update to this script as redpower is no longer a thing and redstone wires from project red arent working with CC yet. basically, i routed the math to output an analog redstone signal dependant on the roll which i feed into wireless redstone transmitters(though i reckon you could just go straight to the colored cable) and then from the reciever to the colored wire. i use the wireless redstone simply because i had to mount my dice displays in awkward places so… meh. first script (the Transmitter) stays the same, the changes are made exclusively in the reciever script as follows below.
instead of using:
cell[1] = colors.combine(colors.yellow)
to denote the number rolled, i used:
cell[1] = 2
then:
numb = cell[n]
redstone.setAnalogOutput("back", 0)
sleep(1)
redstone.setAnalogOutput("back", numb)
hope this helps anyone who needs the help and stumbles upon this thread

You can use MFR's rednet cables as direct replacements for RedPower bundled cables, no need to change the program.
