[Crypt]

a simple dice roller i've quickly made for Pocket PC

cryptmaster.free.fr/TnT/Tunnel.exe

1. press numbered buttons =>this sets MR and caculate number of dices and adds.

2. Then press Roll => this gives the result without add / result with add and number of 6's.


you will need .NET Compact Framework 2.0 to use it.

it works under Windows Mobile 5.

i don't know if it works under older WM versions.

Nice work crypt. This is pretty cool. I like seeing the spite damage. No known viruses is alway a plus. Here's a few a suggestions:

MR can get up to 9,999,999,999,999,999,999 but then the app generates an error for those foolish enough to ask for more. Plus it won't Roll with such a big number. A simple input mask would be good to stop the error. Don't know anyone demented enough to go up against such an MR... heheheh. ;D As GM, it'd be kinder just to kill the entire party.

Give the app a good name. Form1 is kind of dull. My suggestion would be Monster Masher.

And when I try entering a number without using your buttons... I can, but the app does not recognize the number and refuses to Roll.

Finally, it would also be great to have a cool icon for the app.

All in all, here's an exhault! Keep sharing.

I've fixed it, you can download it again.

- Monster Masher

- Maximum MR is now 9999.

- Because two MR 20 creatures are not the same as one MR 40 creature (2x(3D+10) vs 5D+20 ) now you can also directly change the number of dices and adds.

- Roll also works with direct modification of MR.


thanks for your feedback

i think i will add a tab with another panel for multi monsters.
This way it would be possible to display MRs of around 6 monsters, roll for their group attack, take their wounds into account (with a checkbox to choose T&T 5 or T&T 7 ways of recalculating their Dice+Adds values)


PS: for information the current version uses a 320X240 resolution or better.

Much better. I can type in numbers or use the key pad. I like the idea of modifying the dice and adds. In the past, I've given monster folk weapons to augment their dice rolls. My MR 40 Ogre with a heavy mace can now easily roll 10d+22.

Your additional suggested changes could be interesting. I've never really played monsters that distinctly. Normally two MR 20 are just one MR 40 monster for my games. I know, two MR 20's might just roll 6d +20. I am comfortable ditching a die and saying they roll only 5d+20. They are Monster Rated anyhow and probably don't work well together not like complex attribute characters.
