Games::Dice simulates die rolls. It uses a function-oriented (not
|
||
|
|
object-oriented) interface. No functions are exported by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The number and type of dice to roll is given in a style which should be
|
||
|
|
familiar to players of popular role-playing games: adb[+-*/b]c. a is optional
|
||
|
|
and defaults to 1; it gives the number of dice to roll. b indicates the number
|
||
|
|
of sides to each die. % can be used instead of 100 for b; hence, rolling 2d%
|
||
|
|
and 2d100 is equivalent. roll simulates a rolls of b-sided dice and adds
|
||
|
|
together the results. The optional end, consisting of one of +-*/b and a
|
||
|
|
number c, can modify the sum of the individual dice. +-*/ are similar in that
|
||
|
|
they take the sum of the rolls and add or subtract c, or multiply or divide
|
||
|
|
the sum by c. (x can also be used instead of *.) Using b in this slot is a
|
||
|
|
little different: it's short for "best" and indicates "roll a number of dice,
|
||
|
|
but add together only the best few". For example, 5d6b3 rolls five six- sided
|
||
|
|
dice and adds together the three best rolls.
