Dice Roller

[djensen]

Here’s another quick tip … if you’re posting dice, it can be really annoying that afterwards it goes back to the forum instead of the thread of messages. You can fix this 2 ways …

Manually, each time click “Additional Options->Return to this Topic”

Automatically, click “Profile->Look and Layout Preferences->Return to topics after posting by default” and Save

[djensen]

Yeah, sorry everybody about changing it like that. I put a message in the Website Discussion forum but next time I’ll put it in announcements. So always check for announcements first.

I hate those dug-in defenders  :roll:

How does this work?  This looks like a neat idea!

;dice 5d6 2d6;

Rolling 5d6 2d6:
(1, 1, 2, 6, 6)  (5, 6)

[Motdc]

With the groupings I think it would be great if you could specifiy text titles for the groups.

Something like this

;dice “Infantry” 5d6 “Fighters” 2d6;

And the the oputput would be something like this (on multiple lines)

Rolling 5d6 2d6:
Infantry 1, 1, 2, 6, 6
Fighters 5, 6

Hi Mot, welcome to Axis & Allies.org!

I am working on that. Incremental development. First get something out there that people can use, collect feedback, and improve. I’d like to get to the point where you can press a button and get a dialogue box that helps you fill out the numbers.

[djensen]

Mot, we’re having a discussion in the Software Development format about creating an open Axis & Allies XML specification. Would you like to join in on the conversation?

[Motdc]

That’s a good idea, considering everyone seems to use something different.  It would allow you to write converters and/or include that functionality into current and future map programs.

Where are you working on the project?

[djensen]

We’re working on it right here. Look at the Software Development forum.

The TripleA guys have a format as a possible starting point. Question about MapView, does it have a way to determine which units are in which territories? (Actually, can you answer that in the Software Dev forum?)

Thanks.
