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.
