GNOLL

Build + Test Test: Perl Test: Go GitHub license GitHub last commit Donate

An easy to integrate dice notation library for C, C++, Go, Perl and Python. Use for instant support of common syntax and a library that can scale with your demands, rather than a sticky taped monstrousity of regular expressions and tears.

Here's an example of how you might use GNOLL:

   Grindon The Brave: I want to steal from the goblin sitting at the bar.
   Dungeon Master: Okay, give me a stealth check!
   Grindon The Brave: Okay, that's a <1d20+5>
   [GNOLL]: 21
   Dungeon Master: Hurrah! You successfully pickpocket the goblin! However, all he had in there were some crummy dice...

You can follow Grindon's Tale through the world of dice notation in our Documentation

Current Status

🧑‍💻 Language Support

We wrote GNOLL to be the definitive solution to dice notation. We've written all the code in C, but fear not! We will be adding more wrappers for you to access GNOLL's functionality through different languages in the near future.

  • C / C++
  • Python
  • Perl
  • Go

Tested on Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows (10, WSL).

🎲 Dice Notation

  • XdY notation
  • Arithmetic
  • Fate Dice
  • Miscellaneous Symbolic Dice
  • Macros
  • Explosions
  • Drop/Keep

For the specific details of supported notation, check out the docs. And feel free to ask for anything we're missing!

Getting Started

🛠️ Prerequisites

sudo apt-get install bison flex make python3-pip -y
make all

To verify your setup, try our tests:

   make test

Or, just try some commands yourself!

$ ./dice 1d20
20

(Note that not all commands may not be able to be used this way as some symbols are reserved for use by different terminal interfaces (e.g. bash uses ! and #))

Sample Python Call:

from gnoll.parser import roll
roll("1d20")
>> 7
