Dice on an ESP32-C3

// Electronic dice: press the button, watch it tumble, read the number.
//
//   segments a b c d e f g  ->  GPIO 2 3 4 5 6 7 10
//   the common cathode      ->  220 ohm to GND
//   GPIO 18                 ->  the roll button, to GND, internal pull-up
//
// The same game as the Uno's `dice` example on the other board, and the only
// thing that changes is the pin numbers, which is the point of wiring a
// display to plain GPIOs rather than to a peripheral.
//
// The display is common cathode, so a segment lights when its pin goes HIGH
// and all of the return current leaves through the one resistor on the common
// pin. That is the cheap way to wire one: the more segments are lit the less
// current each gets, so an 8 is dimmer than a 1. Seven resistors, one per
// segment, is the right way and costs six more parts.
//
// DIGITS[] is the usual seven-segment font, one bit per segment, bit 0 = a.
// The tumble is the roll repeated with a delay that grows each step, which
// reads as a die slowing down and settling.
