Any chance of getting a copy as CC Attribution (IE, allow commercial)? I’ve got an App-ified version of The Horror Game coming up, and throwing a quick Javascript dice-roller in there would be handy 🙂 (Yeah, I could sit down and write my own, but I’m being lazy and handing credit to someone in the app doesn’t hurt my feelings any 🙂
I’d be happy to do that, Davis. I’ll shoot for this weekend. I’ve been meaning to get the documentation posted too, so I’ll plan to do that as well this weekend.
Groovy – want me to link to here for the credit, or do you have somewhere else you’d like to see linked?
Davis, I went you one better, and released the dice code and images to the public domain via the CC0 dedication. Now the dice code will work for any purpose you desire. I really don’t mind releasing it this way; I’m happy if people use it.
Oh, awesome – thanks 🙂 I’ve already partially replaced the images, and tweaked a little code on it to fit what I’m up to. If you’re an Android or iOS user, I’ll have to send ya’ a freebie copy of what I was working on so ya’ can see what it ended up in 🙂
Hey, Davis. I have an Android emulator on my PC, so I could have a look at what you’ve done that way. It would be neat to see it.
Hi, thanks for this dice roller, I used it to teach myself some java script.
I have made a version that rolls HeroQuest dice
I am happy to share my HeqoQuest version if anyone wants it
Hey, Rob, thanks for the feedback. It’s cool that you taught yourself JavaScript with my dice roller code as motivation. Even cooler that you adapted the code to roll HeroQuest dice. If you have a link to a site where the HeroQuest dice roller is available or some other contact info for any interested parties, feel free to post it here.
Thanks,
The HeroQuest version of the dice roller can be downloaded from here:

I also modified it to use a java script version of the MersenneTwister random number generator that I found.
Rob, wow, I just took a look at your HQ dice roller. Very cool. Excellent use of the dice roller code!
hi there, the dice roller links are broken 🙂
Hi, flashy, and thanks for letting me know about the broken link. I’ve made a change, and it should work now. Cheers!
