END FUNCTIONIf you want to make this a library for your own usage, just strip it out at line 70 or so, and save it as whatever library name you want. "DiceRoller.BM" works for me, but make it whatever you'd like...
At that point, usage is rather simple:
'$INCLUDE:'whatever_you_named_your_library.BM" would go at the bottom of your code, and then you can simply use:
result$ = RollEm$(whatever_to_roll$)
This little library is able to do just about anything you'd need it to do, as far as dice rolling for RPGs go, as long as you follow the basic syntax and send it a proper string.
[b]First Concept of Library:[/b] Our "dice rolling formula" is broken down into segments seperated by a semicolon.
[b]Our 4 basic segments are:[/b]
Sets
Dice
Total mod
Brief output
[b]For Sets, the syntax is:[/b]
##S -- the number of sets, followed by S
[b]For Dice, the syntax is:[/b]
##D## -- the number of dice, followed by D, followed by the sides on the dice. NOTE: the first set of numbers are optional, so you could simply use D6 to roll a single six sided dice.
[b]For Total modifed, the syntax is:[/b]
T## -- T followed by the total to add or subtract to the total dice roll
[b]For Brief output, the syntax is:[/b]
##B -- the number to represent how little output we want, followed by B
0 = full output
1 = reduced output
2 = minimal output (basically only the final results)
[b]Second Concept of Library:[/b] Our segments can be further limited by optional parameters
[b]+## (or -##)[/b] -- add (or subtract) number to segment
[b]KH## [/b]-- Keep the Highest number of "segment"
[b]KL## [/b]-- Keep the Lowest number of "segment"
[b]DH## [/b]-- Discard the Highest number of "segment"
[b]DL## [/b]-- Discard the Lowest number of "segment"
[b]R + [i]stuff[/i][/b] -- Reroll according to [i]stuff[/i]
[b]O + [i]stuff[/i][/b]-- Openroll according [i]to stuff[/i]
[i]stuff[/i] -- A string composed of numbers, operators, and commas, to represent what to reroll or openroll. It sounds complex, but its not.
R1 -- Reroll all 1's
R=2,=3 -- Reroll all rolls that are equal to 2 and equal to 3
R<4 -- Reroll all rolls that are less than 4
O1<2>3 -- (a silly rule set, but hey, it's an example)... Openroll all 1's, all numbers less than two, and all numbers greater than 3
[b]Putting it all together:[/b]
In the end, what we end up with is formulas which look like the following:
3S;2D10 -- Roll 3 sets; of 2 10-sided dice.
6S;4D6KH3 -- Roll 6 sets; of 4 6-sided dice, keeping the 3 highest rolls
10SKH1KL1;2D10+2 -- Roll 10 sets of dice and only keep the highest set and the lowest set; of 2 10-sided dice, and add 2 to each dice.
Depending on what you want, you can generate some rather impressive formulas and take all the bite out of the dice rolling process completely for your games.
NOTE: Spaces are optional, so if they help you understand your "dice rolling formulas" better, feel free to use them:
4S; 3D10 KH2 O20 R2 ; T1; B2 -- Roll 4 sets of; 3 10-sided dice, keeping the 2 highest dice, and openrolling if the dice total to 20, and rerolling if the dice total to 2; then add 1 to the final total; and all we want to see are the final results...
