    Someone made the perfect D&D companion with a Raspberry Pi
    No more hunting for lost dice under tables.

    Key Takeaways

        * Love the feel of rolling dice, but hate losing them? Check out
    Mr. Dice - a Raspberry Pi creation for all your dice-rolling needs.
        * Mr. Dice handles multiple dice types, adds up results, and maintains manual interaction for a fun experience.
        * Abe's Projects made Mr. Dice, which might spark interest in creating your own digital dice roller at home.

    How do you like your dice? While some adore the tactile feel and sound
    of rolling physical dice, others prefer to have a computer calculate
    just how much damage their 9d6 spell did. And while there are plenty of
    apps out there that can handle it, why not go for something that will
    really get the party talking? Someone created their own dice-rolling
    device using a Raspberry Pi called "Mr. Dice", and it's a seriously cool-looking way to perform your dexterity saving throws.

    Mr. Dice, the amazing dice-rolling Raspberry Pi project

    I have Dicenomicon on my phone which does the whole 3d dice rolling.
    It's pretty old, and probably obsolete. In fact I haven't even tried it
    in a long time, I'll see if it still works. Wow. So obsolete it
    doesn't even show up on my phone or the App store anymore. Or maybe
    that's from when I had an android and it's not on iPhone?

    That was about 5 years ago at least.

    Well there's something called Mighty Dice on my iPhone, looks like it
    does the same. It doesn't seem to let me roll 100 d6's at the same time though. Sad.

    I'm disappointed it's not a cube with a display on each face and an accelerometer to measure how you throw it...

    I guess one could build one with not that many problems.


    I haven't done that much hardware stuff.
