Dice Roller

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.

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?

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?

Mot

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.

Rolling 6d6 3d6:
(1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 6)  (4, 4, 6)

Testing

Rolling 2 3 4:
(2, 4)  (2, 4, 6)  (2, 3, 4, 5)

Test:
Attacker:

3 inf
Rolling 3d6:
(1, 3, 5)

2 arm

1 ftr
Rolling 1d6:

:dice 3

Try again

dice 5 2 1

One more time

Rolling 5 2 1:
(2, 2, 2, 3, 6)  (1, 4)  (4)

Works SWEET!!! :-D

New features!!!  Testing……

Rolls: 4@2 3@3 2@4 1@4; Total Hits: 84@2: (2, 3, 3, 2)3@3: (2, 3, 1)2@4: (4, 4)1@4: (1)

WOO HOO!!  :-D

I should’ve saved that roll for the game! :evil:

Hmmm.

Testing this out.

For example, this will roll 10 6-sided dice… (replace “bice” with “dice”)
Rolling 9d6:
(1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 6)

I can use that roll!!!

:-o

if that was aa, it would be horrendous.

I’ll take a roll like that for any attack.  Four "1"s in 9 d 6?  Yeah baby!!!

Of course, for the real thing you know I will have to get the rest of the “average” dice.  Probably when I’m doing some high risk gamble that puts my game on the line.
