Nerun Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) I have coded a small program in Python to roll dice in a terminal: download script in GitHub Gist UPDATED to version 1.6: added drop lowest dice and gaussian distribution for a drop lowest roll! Need help? Type help! Let's roll some dice for a character? You can calculate gaussian distribution even for the weirdest dice rolls! Usage Download PythonDiceRoller.py to your PC. And, if you have Python 3.9+ installed you can execute it with double-click i think. In Windows there should be an IDLE (Integrated Development and Learning Environment). Press F5 to run it. If not, use command prompt: python PythonDiceRoller.py. In Linux (my case), Python come by default in many distros. Double click open it in IDLE, run with F5, or execute in terminal: python PythonDiceRoller.py. Write "quit", "q", "exit", "e", or CTRL+D or CTRL+C to exit.

SDLeary Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Ahhh, nice! Brings back fond memories of some of the RQ utilities on the old Soda archives! macOS has a BSD userland. Think there could be any issues installed there? SDLeary Edited April 16, 2022 by SDLeary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertp Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 That's cool! I've been building a dice roller plus some d100 style character and NPC creation utilities for the homebrew system I've been working on. Right now it's a bit tailored to my game, but it is parameterized (i.e., races/species, characteristics, etc.) with CSV or YAML files so that it's generic within some limits. It's not very user friendly at the moment It's in ruby - I'm going to make a gem with the generic stuff in it so that it'll work more like a utility, like you have. I have a lot of work to do on that though... here's an example of use.
