Dice roller : Roll a dice of choice, picking from a list of six, ten, twelve, or twenty sided dice, or creating your own, and rolling a custom number of times at the press of a button
Although entertainment is pretty much in the hands of computers nowadays, it doesn’t really mean you can’t have fun without playing video games. Chances are you need a dice, though, and if you don’t have one, you can at least rely on specialized applications like Dice roller to roll one of various types of dice.
Multiple types of predefined dice
Before you can take the application for a spin, you need to be sure that your computer is fitted with Java Runtime Environment. On the bright side of things, this means that you can use the program on computers which aren’t necessarily equipped with Windows operating systems. No setup is required, so you can carry Dice roller on a thumb drive.The visual design is pretty simple to prevent you from running into any issues. There are multiple types of predefined dice, each with its own field for the number of times to roll. Results are displayed at the press of a button, and you get to see the entire history of operations, which comes in handy for preventing any disputes based on game changes or steps.
The results sheet can’t be saved
You get to roll a six, ten, twelve, or twenty sided dice. Hitting the roll button doesn’t have an effect until you fill in the number of rolls. Be careful not to write down a high value, because you risk having only the first few shown.Last but not least, the application lets you define your own dice, and this is an incredibly simple process. All you need to do is write down the number of sides, as well as the number of rolls. Sadly, the results sheet can’t be saved to file, or copied to clipboard in case you want to save the whole operation history.
To end with
Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Dice roller is a handy program to have around if you’re ever in the situation not to find your actual pair of dice.
