DiceRoller

This is a general dice roller, for use in a number of games.

The primary exposed method is DiceRoller.roll_dice, which takes in a string such as 3d6, rolls the appropriate dice, and returns the result.

Right now, there are a number of features common to specific games, but also some notable ways to improve the app.

Features

• Addition - Add multiple terms together with a +, e.g. 1d20 + 3

• Keep - Keep only a certain number of dice. Common in stat generation for d20 games. Sample Usage - 4d6k3

• Success Dice - Count the number of dice about a certain number. Common in World of Darkness games. Sample Usage - 8d10k7

• Fudge Dice - Instead of using a die with normal pips on the side, use Fudge / FATE dice, which feature a - symbol, nothing, or a + symbol. Summing the number of +'s and subtracting the number of -'s gives you the result. Sample Usage - "4f"

Planned Features

• Subtraction - Sometimes the last term is a subtraction due to a skill modifier, but we should really be able to handle general subtraction use cases. Sample Usage - 1d20 - 1

• Exploding Dice - Many systems have people reroll dice if they are high enough. In this case, we want to reroll dice if they are at least a certain number. Sample Usage - 4d6e6
