This is a release of a small Desk Accessory
that I have written to aid me with role-playing.
It is basicly a random-number generator, with
an interface for using it to roll dice of the
standard and non-standard dice. It has buttons
for rolling dice with the following sides:
4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, 30, 50, 100
each generating a random number in the range
1-n. (ie.. a 1d100 rolls 1 100-sided die, for a
value of 1 to 100). Also, it has a way of
rolling a quantity of dice of a quantity of sides.
(to roll 3 34-sided dice, fill in the top field with
a 3, and the bottom one with a 34, and click the 'd'
button).
The DA also keeps a running total for you. To clear
the total, click the mouse on the number or name
(da tests for vertical location of mouse). This is
useful to test the distribution and randomness of
the engine, as well as a handy way to keep track
of a large number of rolls.
I have tried to make the engine quick, and the interface
lean and functional, as I use this myself... Please
notify me of any bugs, comments, complaints. I am open
to ideas.
This is released as happy-ware, meaning I want you
to tell me if you like it. You don't have to pay for it,
and you may not charge (in any way) for it or its
distribution. Don't change it, and include this file
with it, but give it to anybody you want.
