Windows Mobile 2003 for 
Pocket PC (Pocket PC 2003)

**Optionally this program will run on Pocket PC
2002 devices if you have the .NET Compact
Framework installed.  See the ReadMe1st file for
more details.

The .NET Compact Framework is required and
is pre-installed on Windows Mobile 2003 devices.
If you are running Pocket PC 2002, you should
download and install Polyhedral Dice for Pocket
PC 2002 instead.

~100K Storage Space (The default instalation 
path is under your Program Files folder.)  This 
program should run without issue installed 
to a storage card, but I have not tested it this 
way.

Current Build Changes (26 Sep 2003)

First build with the .net compact framework
Support for rolling up to 512 dice


Configuration Menu Options:

Allow Modifiers:
Bonus  -> Specify a number to add to each roll 
               (max 999)
Penalty ->Specify a number to subtract from
                 each roll (max 999)


Allow Enhancements:
Re-roll 1       -> Automatically will re-roll a 1
Average Rolls   -> Makes each roll 3 times and 
                   reports the average
Use Loaded Dice ->Simulates using a loaded die.

NOTE:  You can change the default weight of the load.
If you specify a load higher than the number of  sides 
of the selected die, it will be reset to the  maximum 
number of sides.

You can use 1 of each type of enhancement at the same 
time.  IE, you can add a bonus to the rolls, while 
still using a loaded die...



Boring Stuff:

Thank you for downloading and trying my Pocket PC application.  
This is a very simple little program that simulates a virtual 
set of polyhedral dice.  You can distribute this application 
as long as you include this file with it.

How to Use:

IMPORTANT, Please remove any previous version prior to 
installing this one.

First install the program.  
The default installation path is:

 \Program Files\Polyhedral Dice 2003

I have not tested this program on any other paths, but I do 
think it would work.

Launch the program from your Programs Menu on your Start Menu.

From here you can select the type and number of dice to roll 
(max 512).  Once you have made your selections click the roll 
button.

That's it!  Pretty simple huh?

The Configure menu allows you to set the new options, see the 
credits and also has an explicit exit function.

Enjoy!
