Has anyone ever written an app that does polyhedral dice? Yes, I am indeed a gamer geek, I ever write them for a living. In any case, there's an fairly good Palm app, but having to run Garnet everytime I want to use it is a pain. A good program should do d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, and d100, as well as allowing you to roll multiple dice at once.

I also looked for a decent dice application, but so far none found...

i just use the real dice. lol

I don't know of one specifically for the n810, but there's a good way to fake it.

1. Go to http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm. This is a die roller written in JavaScript.
2. Save the page to your tablet. Be sure to save it as type "Complete web page". (Menu -> Web page -> Save as...)
3. Open that file you just saved. (Menu -> Web page -> Open file...)
4. Profit!!!

Since the roller is just JavaScript it executes entirely in the browser, no need to contact the server. Once you save it locally you can use it even when you're not connected to the net.

Naturally this same technique works for any other JavaScript die roller, or any other sort of simple JavaScript app for that matter.

I can develop such an app.
To be sure ....
d4 means 1 to 4, d6 1 to 6, ....
right?

i suspect one could maybe rip out the roller from here:

or use it as a example.

and yes, the number after d indicates the number of sides on the dice.

often one will see 2d6 or similar, meaning that one should roll 2 6-sided dice.

and if one see d6+20 thats a 6-sided die plus a flat 20.

Umm, this has already been asked... So please search..

If you want a REALLY simple solution, use Xterm and Python, look below.

If that does not work, then you have to install Canola or pyrdesktop first, or some sort of python app.

Mh, I'll make a simple pygtk gui. Please be patient until Saturday or Sunday

Please contact me by PM.

Here is a first prototype. Rename the file from Dice.txt to Dice.py and run with:

python Dice.py

Have fun and post your comments
