dart_dice_parser 1.3.0

A dart library for parsing dice notation (like "2d6+4", "3d6", or "3d10 + 2d6 - 5d4")

dart_dice_parser

A library for parsing dice notation

Supported syntax

Supported notation

• AdX -- roll A dice of X sides, total will be returned as value

• special dice variations:

  • AdF -- roll A fudge dice (sides: [-1, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1])

  • Ad% -- roll A percentile dice (equivalent to 1d100)

  • AD66 -- roll A D66, aka 1d6*10 + 1d6 (NOTE: this must use uppercase D, lowercase d will be interpreted as 66-sided die)

  • exploding dice

    • Ad!X -- roll A X-sided dice, explode if max is rolled (re-roll and include in results)
      • the dice roller won't explode dice more than 1000 times.
    • Ad!!X -- roll A X-sided dice, explode only once (limited explosion)

• modifying the roll results:

  • dropping dice:
    • AdX-HN -- roll A X-sided dice, drop N highest
    • AdX-LN -- roll A X-sided dice, drop N lowest
    • AdX->B -- roll A X-sided dice, drop any results less than B
    • AdX-<B -- roll A X-sided dice, drop any results greater than B
    • AdX-=B -- roll A X-sided dice, drop any results equal to B
    • NOTE: the drop operators have higher precedence than the arithmetic operators, so 4d10-L2+2 is equivalent to (4d10-L2)+2
  • cap/clamp:
    • AdXC<B -- roll A X-sided dice, change any value less than B to B
    • AdXC>B -- roll A X-sided dice, change any value greater than B to B

• operations on dice rolls:

  • counting:
    • AdX# -- how many are in the results? (useful for 20d10-<2->8# -- roll 20 d10, drop <2 and >8, how many are left?)
    • AdX#>B -- roll A X-sided dice, count any greater than B
    • AdX#<B -- roll A X-sided dice, count any less than B
    • AdX#=B -- roll A X-sided dice, count any equal to B

• addition/subtraction/multiplication and parenthesis are allowed

• numbers must be integers, and division is is not supported.

Examples

• 2d6 + 1 -- roll two six-sided dice, sum results and add one
• 2d(2*10) + 3d100 -- roll 2 twenty-sided dice, sum results, add that to sum of 3 100-sided die
• 1D66 -- roll a D66 -- aka two six-sided dice, multiply first by 10 and sum results
• 1d% -- roll one percentile dice
• 4dF -- roll four fudge dice
• 2d20-H -- roll 2d20, drop highest (disadvantage)
• 2d20-L -- roll 2d20, drop lowest (advantage)
• 10d10-L3 -- roll 10d10, drop 3 lowest results
• (2d10+3d20)-L3 -- roll 2d10 and 3d20, combine the two results lists and drop lowest 3 rolls
• 20d10-<3->8# -- roll 20 d10, drop any less than 3 or greater than 8 and count the result

Usage

A simple usage example:

    import 'package:dart_dice_parser/dart_dice_parser.dart';

    main() {
      var diceExpression = "2d6 + 1 + 3d10";

      print("$diceExpression : ${DiceParser().roll(diceExpression)}");
    }
