Source code for Clocks and Dice, an assistant (dice roller, chat, and clock tracker) for Evil Hat Productions' Blades in the Dark.
This repository and the Clocks and Dice website have no ownership or affiliation with Evil Hat Productions and Blades in the Dark.
This is built with re-frame and Google's Firebase. Details on the re-frame template and this project.
Clocks and Dice is a personal project that is built upon other's work
Clock images were built using AshtonHand Clocks Note that
this github repo does not include these clock images. You will have to download them from itch.io
and add them to the resources/public/images/ directory for the Clocks and Dice site to render properly.
Skyjedi's SWRPG dice roller, which my regular roleplaying group has used for almost a year during covid, was a direct inspiration for this app. My main motivation was that wanting a shared virtual dice roller like this one but for Blades in the Dark.
This work and the Clocks and Dice site are a pet project started because I wanted to learn how to build sites with Firebase, re-Frame and Clojurescript. There are lots of resources for these technologies online but the one that was most helpful was Henry Widd's blog post Wrapper-free Firebase with Clojurescript's Re-Frame and source code.
Henry's code best matched my own style of coding (simple, clear calls to libraries). After reading his blog post and playing with his example code, I formed a clear idea of how to build Clocks and Dice. The initial firebase binding code was taken directly from him.
