The Ultimate Dice Roller! Should be transportable to most systems that
can run 'C' and have the standard library.
This dice roller is random, even if the random number generator isn't very
random.
Usage: (options included in braces):
roll {numrep@}{{bestroll,}numroll x}{{bestdice,}numdice d}{sides}
numrep [1] = number of times to repeat the rolling sequence.
bestroll [numroll] = print the best "bestroll" rolls.
numroll [1] = number of rolls to do.
bestdice [numdice] = use the "bestdice" highest rolling dice.
numdice [1] = number of dice to use per roll.
sides [100] = number of sides on the dice.
Examples:
roll
d100 = 65
roll 6
d6 = 3
roll 4d10
4d10 = 11
roll 5,10d8
5,10d8 = 28
roll 6x3d6
6x3d6 = 17 12 11 11 10 6
roll 6x3,4d6
6x3,4d6 = 18 15 10 10 7 6
roll 5,10x4d4
5,10x4d4 = 14 13 12 12 10
roll 3@6,10x3,4d6
6,10x3,4d6 = 17 17 15 15 14 14
6,10x3,4d6 = 18 15 15 15 14 14
6,10x3,4d6 = 16 14 13 13 11 11
