-
- 1. Introduction
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- DiceRoll generates random numbers. It works in a similar way to dice,
- a die has a certain number of sides and you throw it a certain numer of
- times. With DiceRoll you can specify the maximum number (die size) and the
- amount of numbers to generate (number of throws).
-
- The uses of DiceRoll range from generation of lottery numbers (for UK
- National Lottery use MacCash) to "Wargames".
-
-
- 2. Usage
- ~~~~~~~~
-
- From the Shell you type:
-
- dr [die size] [number of throws]
-
- So if you wanted to roll a 10 sided die 5 times you would type:
-
- dr 10 5
-
- If you omit the size parameters then it is assumed you want one throw of a
- six sided die.
