Hi! Thank you for this awesome module!

Unfortunately, I'm unable to run expressions that count successes, as I get a Malformed dice string: Unprocessed token error.

Here's what I'm trying to run (third example in the README.md):

print(dice_syntax.roll("4d6s>5", rng))

and here's the console output:

{ "result": 0, "rolls": [{ "error": true, "msg": ["Malformed dice string: Unprocessed tokens"], "dice": [], "drop": [], "result": 0 }], "error": true, "msg": ["Malformed dice string: Unprocessed tokens"] }

Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Thank you for your help!

• consider proper parsing of inter-dice maths so that arbitrary operations can be performed implemented in 2.1 expression branch
• godot4 port of 2.1

A bit weird because a number after d,k already indicates the number of dice to drop, but can imagine dropping specific results being possibly useful

I currently make my changes on godot 3. Then use meld to compare the latest godot 3 version to the previous godot 4 one to selectively make the relevant changes

Is it possible to account for possibilities in the dice syntax ? Like I want to have a one percent chance to roll 4d6 instead of 4d3, "4d3|1%4d6"

built in godot functions like randi, randi_range can be technically used within the dice syntax. However dice_syntax functions dice_probs, parsed_dice_probs, expected_value and standard_deviation calculate probabilities by getting results for every possible dice without taking any non-dice randomness into account. If built in godot functions are used to introduce additional randomness dice_syntax probability calculations will be wrong
