How exactly do you use this thing?

@Imperious:

How exactly do you use this thing?

It is groovy. If you have a small battle and are a competent typist you can type the code :mice xdy: and a random number will be generated. Howevre you must use dice instead of mice. x is the number of dice you want to roll and y is the number of sides on the dice or the range for which you need a random number.

Dice Rolling 1 6-sided dice:
5

Dice Rolling 1 12-sided dice:
10

Dice Rolling 1 100-sided dice:
3

or
Attacking INF (3) need 1s
Dice Rolling 3 6-sided dice:
1, 6, 2

Attacking ART (1) and matched INF (1)
Dice Rolling 2 6-sided dice:
5, 4

Defending INF (2)
Dice Rolling 2 6-sided dice:
3, 5

Or
1 INF, 2 TANKS and 1 RTL in BOTB
Dice Rolling 8 12-sided dice:
3, 10, 9, 6, 2, 10, 5, 3

Switch was trying to do some geeky D&D stuff and give a bonus to the random result.

LOL, yep it was indeed my AD&D game heritage that went into thsoe dice attempts.

But alas, AD&D appears to be passe, so it did not work

But I was able to work out the pairings for the Tournament anyway :-D

I’ve been using this and actually liking it more than frood.net in some ways - the results are there and saved in the forum immediately, and you don’t have to have as many windows/tabs etc. Also, even pretty complicated battles can be done fairly easily, ex:

(reliving my most glorious recent combat, killed 73 IPCs and lost 35 IPCs:)

Karelia: 14 Inf 4 Art 3 Arm defending v. 5 Inf 14 Arm 6 Ftr 1 Bom

Dice:
Attacking (in sequence: 5 @ 1, 20 @ 3, 1 @4)
Dice Rolling 26 6-sided dice:
2, 1, 1, 5, 6, 2, 1, 3, 6, 6, 3, 3, 6, 4, 1, 1, 3, 2, 3, 6, 1, 3, 3, 5, 3, 2
Defending (18 @ 2, 3 @3(
Dice Rolling 21 6-sided dice:
2, 1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 6, 4, 2, 5, 6, 2, 2, 5, 2, 5, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2

The problem there is to distinguish what units are what… thus the multiple entries for various units.

frood

That’s solved by declaring eg “5@1, 20@3, 1@4”, so you know that the first 5 have to be 1’s to hit, the rest all have to be 3 or lower except the very last one which could be a 4.

It would be nice if this gadget could be simplified, so that eg. you only had to type :5d6: to roll 5 dice

Also, it’s nice because you can’t cheat it, because the forum doesn’t let you post actual html code, eg:

Dice Rolling 8 12-sided dice:
3, 10, 9, 6, 2, 10, 5, 3

Also prevent any attempts to “cheat” because if you attempt to edit a post with dice, it returns to HTML coding.

I’ve updated the dice command to be a little more friendly …

For instance previously you could only roll one set at a time
dice 26d6

Now you can break it up into groups
dice 5d6 20d6 1d6

Dice:
Attacking (in sequence: 5 @ 1, 20 @ 3, 1 @4)
dice 5d6 20d6 1d6
Dice Rolling 5d6 20d6 1d6:
(2, 2, 4, 6, 6) (1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6) (5)

Defending (18 @ 2, 3 @3)
dice 18d6 3d6
Dice Rolling 18d6 3d6:
(1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5) (3, 4, 6)

The results are grouped as specified and sorted lowest to highest.
