After having seen Celtic-games' Dice gen (http://www.newgrounds.co m/portal/view/427499), I decided to make my own random generator, but with more versatility.
You may choose how many dice are (virtually) thrown, how many faces they have and you can even add a bonus! Note that the number of dice thrown is not only the result of one dice multiplyed, it really is an addition of many dice rolls.
In addition to this, there are two imaged 6-face die, each having different caracteristics, a choice between a psychedelic background or a regular white background and a random letter generator.

I'm waiting for your reviews to which I usually response.

"Well"

Nice :)
Though I don't see the utility of giving one big number instead of each dice's number.
Example: I need 2d6, so I can do 1d12 too.

March 2, 2008

Author's Response:

Nah. 2d6 doesn't equal 1d12. The minimum of 2d6 is two, the minimum of 1d12 is one. I prefer giving one big number because it spares the calculations from the viewer, and many little results would take more room.

"Aha!"

date: March 2, 2008

Its every true gamers dream, a die with no possible risk of it being modified to a certain persons use. Due to the fact that i haven't seen one on newgrounds, you gets a ten!(Mistake intentional)Really, i don't know how to truely improve it, it works.

March 2, 2008

Author's Response:

I don't understand the intentional mistake joke. I got a lot of helpful reviews telling me how to improve it, and also I thought about adding "saves". It would be buttons with included settings set by the user. Example: Playing a D&D game, with 4 players each having different weapons: every button would be a player's weapon, so the DM would only have to press one button to obtain the player's weapon damage.

"A useful piece of kit."

date: March 1, 2008

I don't D&D anymore, but I would have found this very useful whilst DMing. The 'bonus' addition is extremely useful and would take a lot of hassle out of rolling large numbers of identical dice (suddenly, hordes of enemies become manageable)- and clicking rather than rolling would significantly speed things up.

However, the background would become extremely uncomfortable after a while- I suggest that a slightly more gentle colour scheme could be implemented for anyone that might need to stare at it for a while (e.g. dark backround, light text).

Also, whilst I think this has been commented upon- the lack of a critical modifer actually makes this submission useless for a large number of D20 system rolls- if possible the 'result' section needs to show the whole sum on demand (e.g. D6+1 =4+1 =5).

Good effort, this is useful tool that could be honed into something indispensable. Keep it up.

March 1, 2008

Author's Response:

The whole sum on demand could be easily made. For the background thing, did you try toggling it off? Because there is a button to make the psychedelic background disappear and show a white BG instead. Maybe you find the orange on white display hard for the eyes.
