About

JDice rolls dice. A simple yet rich language allows to express several kinds of roll schemes, including any dice type, rerolling, selecting highest/lowest, counting, etc.

JDice is intended for:

game designers who need help to put up balanced systems
dice servers developpers who want something beyond d20+2 and 2d6
powergamers who thrive to opimize their characters/army
gamers fed up with rolling dice (whatever it takes to make a world)

Documentation

The only documentation available yet is the JDice language reference manual in PDF format. Hopefully in the future, we will provide a tutorial and a JDice shell user guide. Keep tuned...

Download

JDice is written in Java and requires a Java 6 Virtual Machine. You can get one from Sun or GNU.

The last version of JDice is 0.1.

JDice is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3

Binary distribution

A standalone binary JAR file is available at sourceforge, all external libraries are embedded so it requires nothing else than the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This will work on any platform supported by the JVM; for instance the Sun JVM is available on Windows and Linux.
