That's pretty cool, nice work. It would work well if you don't have enough dice to play the game or don't want to share your dice with anyone like I do :twisted: . I have 20 combat dice so everyone gets a set of four when they play.

How many combat dice will your app support and be able to roll at once? I only see four at the moment. I'm only asking because if your running the Barbarian, Dwarf, or Elf with the base of 2 defense dice, with the shield, helmet, and chain mail. That will give you five defense dice.

That is very good to know... I did it based on the basic dices included in the box. But basically I can add as much dices as required...

My idea for now is that a button rolls the number of dices mentionned on it...

Looks good so far - dice rollers are always nice...as long as they are absolutely randomized in their rolling. :)

Question - any chance you could do specialty dice? I could offer some suggestions for ideas, if you are
interested in that. You know, dice with two skulls on a side, or a die with five skulls and one side with
the two shields...stuff like that.

The German dice would be a good starting point then:

White = 3 Skulls, 2 White Shields, 1 Black Shield
Black = 4 Skulls, 1 White Shield, 1 Black Shield
Purple = 1 Double Skull, 2 Skulls, 1 Double White Shield, 1 White Shields, 1 Double Black Shield
Blue = 3 Skulls, 1 White Shield, 2 Black Shields
Green = 2 Skulls, 3 White Shields, 1 Black Shield
Yellow = 1 Double Skull, 1 Skull, 1 Double White Shield, 1 White Shield, 1 Double Black Shield, 1 Black Shield
Orange = 2 Double Skulls, 2 Double White Shields, 1 Double Black Shield, 1 Black Shield

Yup, it would be. I still need to get a set of them if they are still available. I remember there is a tread about them somewhere here.

Actually everything is possible. Yet in a first time i will achieve the basic dice rolling system then update it with more dices.
For now, i'm wondering how the UI should be like to be as easy as possible to understand for any user
