Gemstone D20 is a very simple app that rolls dice for tabletop RPG's, like Dungeons and Dragons.
Using Gemstone D20 is very easy, you run the program, and are greeted with an interface not unlike a bash terminal. You can browse history with the up/down arrow keys, and edit text normally with backspace and usual keys.
To roll dice, you just have to learn an easy syntax, as follows:
[# of dice]"d"[Type of dice](+-)[Modifier]
Now, number of dice, and modifier are optional, here are some examples:
2d20 will roll 2 20 sided dice, add up the total, and print the output.
3d6+4 will roll 3 6 sided dice, add up the total, add 4 to the total, then print.
d4 will roll a 4 sided die.
and so on.
I'm very new to tabletop RPG's, so I'm not exactly sure what to put next specifically, but a short list is as follows:
- A timer with titles
- A counter for HP, MP, whatever
- A universal slot counter
