Known History

• v0.6.0b

  Success dice (S6 and S10) have been added.

• v0.5.8b

  Increased accuracy to 500,000 iterations. Reports the mean average of rolls if applicable.

• v0.5.7b

  Increased accuracy to 100,000 iterations.

• v0.5.6b

  Updated for Windows 11. Will still run on Windows 10.

• v0.5.5b

  Fixed crash caused when the amount of high or low number of dice to keep was missing.

• v0.5.4b

  FATE dice were using the wrong random() for some reason. Fixed.

• v0.5.3b

  Will now use the Microsoft Desktop SAPI voices you have installed. Not just Zira and David.

• v0.5.2b

  Fixed str being added to int errors when rolling dice at CMD prompt.

• v0.5.1b

  Added Sicherman dice rolls. Better logging for dice starting with a 0 instead of a 1.

• v0.5.0b

  Updated for Python 3.11. Runs much faster.

• v0.4.6b

  Error-trapping for invalid dice modifiers now. The new D1 roll generates values 0 - 1. The D2 roll now generates values 1 - 2.

• v0.4.5b

  Roll accuracy for result chart is adjustable. pydice module updated.

• v0.4.4b

  Fixed infinite loop. (Haven't seen one of those in decades.)

• v0.4.3b

  Uses updated pydice module.

• v0.4.2b

  Removed roll samples when manual rolls were invalid.

• v0.4.1b

  Increased error-trapping of any out-of-bound rolls during brute force percentage calculations. Roll results from manual inputs are now voiced as well. Number of dice and dice modifier ranges have been increased.

• v0.4.0b

  Now uses pydice 3.8 for its die rolling. Added error-trapping when performing MINMAXAVG rolls at the CMD prompt. Displays a sample of ten random rolls.

• v0.3.2b

  Fixed die roll range when adding a -DM to a roll.

• v0.3.1b

  Added secret rolls types based on the 4dF roll.

• v0.3.0b

  Added Advantage and Disadvantage roll types.

  

• v0.2.0b

  It talks now.

• v0.1.0b

  Initial release. Graphing works with manual rolls also.
