Frood AACalc Dicey / Sim / Odds Calculator: Updates and Opinions

[Perry]

What’s with Frood’s site… It seems to be down?

As for Bidding: the only other place or tool I know for bidding is DAAK. Do you guys know any other site for bidding?

Any chance you’ll be adding NAs and AARe support to your calc?  I know that’s probably a lot of work, but I was wondering.

From what I can see, my site is running just fine.

There won’t be any new features though. I don’t have time. Plus, when people hated my new input form (which I thought was pretty ingenious) it sort of killed the joy of further development.

I’ve actually provided the code to djensen for possible incorporation on this site, but I don’t know if he’s making any progress on that.

Heya frood,

First, thank you very much for the effort on your calculator. In addition on the board game, I play TripleA a lot and your calculator beats everything else available. :)

Regarding the new input form (I presume you’re talking about version 2.0), a little feedback on that: when it got out I tried it and it is not that it isn’t easy to use but while playing online sometimes I need to make a lot of calculations in seconds and it is faster to already have the boxes for the units. Plus in those calcs you need to run a lot of variations with the number of units present and it is easier to edit each separate box than to change the line on version 2.0 (you need to hit the right space and delete the value, if you don’t you delete something, i think you get the idea…)

In any case, good there :)

Wow Frood, we are getting a new edition of A&A out soon. How are we supposed to be able to play it, without a new version of your dicey  :-)

[frood]

I’m willing to provide the source code to anyone who wants to take over…

hi there, it seems like frood is down. is there a way to still reach the calc?

[DarthMaximus]

I noticed that too.  Use this link:
