Dice is a program that can "roll" any number of dice with any positive and non-zero number of sides.
At the moment, it only takes two arguments: number of dice and number of sides.
These can be specified using the -n and -s options.
$ dice -n 11 -s 5
5 5 4 1 5 3 4 4 2 2 1
There are a few features I am currently planning on adding in the near future and probably more after that. They are:
- Output rolls to a file
- Get statistical information about rolls, e.g. min, max, mean, sum, mode
- Read a file specifying rolls as input in the format: "2d6 1d20", for example.
