Dicey Wave Bot

As any good geek would, when faced with something cool and new that also has a published API, I thought I’d see if I can write a quick dirty Google Wave Bot.

The purpose of this bot is to automate dice rolls for role playing games. It supports the typical 4d6+1 format, where 4 is the number of dice to roll, 6 is the number of sides each die has and 1 is the modifier to add to the total. It also supports multiple rolls, so you might do: 3d3+1 – 2d2, and it would return the individual rolls and the total of the 2 rolls.

You include it into your own wave by inviting diceywavebot@appspot.com

If you get some good use out of this bot, I’d love to hear about it. Also, let me know if you run into any bugs or have suggestions on making the bot better.

Oddly enough I had the same idea. My implementation can be invited as area42dice@appspot.com

Dicey is not working for any of us currently. We’ve been using it in our waves for quite some time. Can you check on the status?

Thanks

I just updated it to use the Wave API v2. It should be back up and running now.

Thanks! That fixed it!
