Generic RPG Stat and Dice Roller for OS X

Build

Dicer uses MacGap to package the application. Make is eschewed for a simpler build.sh script. The resulting application is in ./app.

Use

Eventually there will be help in the application. For now, Characters have stats and rolls associated with them. Rolls use the following grammer:

dice [operation dice ] ... [operaton dice]
	  dice := integer | [num_rolls][rollmode][minmax]
			rollmode := d | w
		  minmax := integer | integer..integer

Some examples:

1d6 := roll 1 six sided die.
	1d6 + 2 := roll 1 six sided die, then add 2.
	2d8 + d6 := roll 2 eight sided die, then add the roll of a 1 sided die.
	1w6 := roll 1 six sided die. On a six, add the result and reroll.

Anywhere an integer can go, a stat box from the character can go. For example, the character "ThunderPants" has a state call "Pure Awesome" with a value of 27. He can add this value whenever he rolls a 6 sided die. His roll would look like:

1d6 + [Pure Awesome]

This can also be used for weapon damage in dnd 4th edition:

1d[W] + [Strength Mod] + [Weapon Enhancement] + [Weapon Proficiency]

Or for a wild die system, like Star Wars d6:

[Force Use]d6 + 1w6
