Hello, welcome to the magical die editor!
This is where a graph will be drawn in wondrous ASCII.
Die Roll:
Dice calc lets you visualize the result of rolling a bunch of dice. It supports a simple language to describe the dice you roll, based upon the common 'd' notation.
Rather than bore you with BNF descriptions of the dice format, I shall instead just present examples.
| Command | Meaning |
| 1d4 | Roll a 4 sided die, numbered 1..4 |
| 1d4-3 | Roll a 4 sided die and subtract 3 |
| 3d20 | Roll three 20-sided dice and total them up |
| 1d6+1d3 | Add a 6-sided die roll to a 3-sided die roll |
| 1d20>5 | Take the maximum of 5 and a 20-sided die roll |
| 1d20<1d16-3 | Take the minimum of a 20-sided die roll and a (16-sided die roll minus 3) |
| 1d4-(1d2+1d3) | Subtract from a 1d4 roll the sum of a 1d2 and 1d3 roll. |
| 2X(1d6+3) | Roll a 1d6, add 3, and then multiply the result by 2. |
| 0.75X(1d6+3) | Roll a 1d6, add 3, and then multiply the result by 0.75. Round down. |
| 30%1d4 | 30% of the time return 1d4, otherwise 0 |
| (1d3)d(1d4) | Roll 1d3 to determine number of dice to roll. For each die, roll 1d4 to determine the sides on that die. |
In case you like BNF type stuff, here's the CFG
A -> S > A | S < A | S S -> T | S + T | S - T T -> N % M | M M -> N X D | D D -> N d N | N N -> # | ( A )Despite what this may suggest, the N for X prefices must be a simple float value. The N for % prefixes must also be a simple float.
