XDice

xdice is a lightweight python library for managing dice, scores, and dice-notation patterns.

It allows to easily interpret literal expressions as rolls of dice ('1d6', '3d4+3', '12d6+1d4'...etc.), then manipulate the results.

Python Versions

DiceRollParser has been tested with python 3.3+

Examples

import dice

## Roll simple dices with **rolldice()**

score = rolldice(6, amount=2)

# manipulates score as an integer

print( score, score * 2, score == 11 )
>> 11       22      True


# Iterates over the results

for result in score:
    print(result)
>> 5
>> 6

# Parse patterns with **roll()**

ps = roll("2d6+18")

print( ps, ps.format() )
>> 28       '[5,6]+18'
