Negative Space: Programming for Gamers
- Are my dice random?
- My d20 appears to have been rolling a lot of ones, a disaster if I were playing D&D but a boon for Gods & Monsters. Is my die really random, or is it skewed towards a particular result? Use the ‘R’ open source statistics tool to find out.
- Programming for Gamers: Choosing a random item
- If you can understand a roleplaying game’s rules, you can understand programming. Programming is a lot easier.
- Easier random tables
- Rather than having to type --table and --count, why not just type the table name and an optional count number?
- Programming a Roman thumb
- Before we move on to more complex stuff with the “random” script, how about something even simpler? Choose or die, Bezonian!
- Multiple tables on the same command
- The way the “random” script currently stands, it does one table at a time. Often, however, you have more than one table you know you’re going to need. Why not use one command to rule them all?
- How random is Python’s random?
- Can you trust a script’s random number generator to actually be random?
- Freeform Villains & Vigilantes calculator
- This MathPad-like command-line filter can be used to create free-form character calculations in Villains & Vigilantes.
