Library for analyzing dice roll expressions in TTRPGs

pips's Issues

Large number weirdness

Investigate the issue that show up with large numbers of possible outcomes, such as 12d8.

Generate graphs in browser

Generate graphs from the dice roll plots. Use D3?

add mean marker to the graph

It would be useful to know what the average outcome of a dice roll is.
Add a horizontal (dashed?) line to the chart for each formula to indicate this

Write a parser for dice expressions

It'll be really cool!

• Define the language and supported functions
• Implement the parser
• make sure it works
• ???
• profit

Create CLI wrapper?

Wrap the library in a CLI tool. Maybe something like this:

$ pips roll d20
14
$ pips plot d4
{ 1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1, 4: 1 }

WASM module?

Investigate how to expose the core library by targeting wasm. Can this be an NPM package?

Set up build pipelines

Set up CI/CD pipelines for

• pips cargo crate
• pips-wasm npm package
• pips-web web app

Should be a good opportunity to try out GitHub Actions.
