- Welcome to HolyRoller!
-
- This is a simple little program, for gamers mostly, that provides
- a working random number generator based on the standard gaming
- dice. To operate, you may select the total number of results by
- clicking one of the radio boxes labled x1 through x10. Hit return
- or click the roll button to generate that many results.
- For special dice rolls, use the text entry boxes next to the icons.
- The icons represent, in order: 4sided, 6sided, 8sided, 10sided,
- 12sided and 20sided dice. Entering a 1 in the text field generates
- a random number from 1 to the number of sides. Entering any other
- number in these fields causes the Roller to generate an approprate
- random number that many times and add the results. For example,
- if you click the d6 icon and enter 3, it will generate a ramdom
- number between one and six, do it again, and a third time, then
- add all three results together and display that result. If you
- clicked a different radio box than x1, it will repeat the process
- that many times.
- The bottom two boxes allow users to create custom die rolls
- not found in standard dice. Say you want to generate a random
- number from 1 to 17. Enter a 1 in the left box and a 17 in the box
- under the icons. If you want a curved number from 2 to 98, divide
- 98 by 2 = 49; enter 2 in the left box and 49 in the right one.

- Tech notes:
- This version may have hidden bugs in it, so let me know if you find
- any event that is a lttle unusual. It's had some testing on my
- Classic, but I know how to work the darn thing.
