Dice Utilities

These require the installation of Java 1.6u12 for the best experience. Clicking on the links will launch the program and store a copy locally. Neither program requires local acces to the hard disk.

Unlike the "Good Ol' Days", Java 1.6 only needs to download the bare minimum needed to run the program.

Die Roller

This program is a simple dice roller. Click on the type of die along the bottom, and then click roll. It counts both how many dice are rolled, and their total. Clicking on the same die value, or a different die value resets both counters.

RPN Dice calculator

This program is a RPN style calculator with support for rolling dice. RPN stands for Reverse Polish Notation, or postfix notation.

One thing unique about postfix is there is no need for parenthesis.

So a equation like ( 3 + 4 ) * 10 can be expressed as 3 4 + 10 *, basically you write it like how you'd actually solve the problem.

The calculator supports d ( dice operator ), +, - , * and /.

The dice operator  is used to calculate the result of rolling dice. So inputing 3 6 d calculates the roll of 3d6, and 2 4 d 2 + calculates 2d4 + 2.
