Rock'n'Roll - RPG Dice Roller

Hey everybody,

Thought I’d post my RPG Dice roller application here as well. Some of you may remember me looking for a programmer to help me with this little application and I am happy that I found “Ricardo” which is also known as “Arges” on this forum. Here is a video of our current version called “Rock’n’Roll”. Have a look here:

Thanks for watching!

Great! I really like it, it would be very useful to have something like this in my game.
The dices look cool

How do you know which number has come out from a dice roll?

Well that’s a question for Ric :wink: He is the math genius and programmer. I am only responsible for the looks (modeling, texturing, lighting, GUI elements) of this application. I am sure he will give you some feedback on how the dice calculation was done later.

Hi Simone,

Glad you like it. I find out the current number by calculating the closest face to the die’s final rotation from the initial die position.

Best,

Ricardo

smells an iPhone port!

It looks really nice.

The sound sounds very artificial though. I would suggest to let the volume of the sounds be dependent on the velocity and rotational velocity of the dices, so the harder they impact, the louder the noise is. In my experience this alone increases the realism of the sound a lot.

I can smell one as well but for that to happen I would need a new mac first (still running on PPC here). But yeah, we build this application with “iphone/ipod” in mind so it’s very likely to happen sometime.

As for the sound. You got a point there. I will have to ask Ric about that and see what he can do.

Nice job ric, I love this dice-rolling system

I would love to see a full game master system for ipod touch/iphone. The ability to roll the dice all at once, drag and throw the dice, and perhaps shake it to roll. The ability to store things like character sheets would be great as well. Looking good so far tho. I do agree that the dice sounds are a bit off.

Excellent suggestion Rune, thanks, we’re already playing with the parameters.

Best,

Ric

Hey there folks,

Just thought I’d show another shot of Rock’n’Roll as “Dashboard Widget”. Pretty nifty we think :slight_smile:

This simply rocks! Nice work Thomas!
