More Dice Support about random-number-generator HOT 4 CLOSED

I don't see anything actionable here; please refine it into a concrete use case if you want the issue to be potentially worked on.

from random-number-generator.

@Gear61 concrete use case: Board games, especially Dungeons and Dragons
And the optimized play of board games requires #48

from random-number-generator.

@DonaldTsang By concrete use case, I need a formal definition of input -> output and the UI/UX surrounding it as I unfortunately don't play D&D and I don't have time to convert a relatively rough definition to a fully working new feature. Feel free to submit a PR.

from random-number-generator.

@Gear61 here are some of the basic features:

• arbitrary dice side counts (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d100 being standard)
• Rolling multiple dice at one
• Being able to drop/keep the biggest or smallest numbers
• Being able to reroll certain numbered results
• Exploding/Compounding/Penetrating Dice
• Special Dice (e.g. fudge)
• Averages and Medians
  Other features can be derived from these elements (excluding math operators)
