Polyhedral Dice for Pocket PC 2002

Welcome to the home page for Polyhedral Dice for Pocket PC 2002 (Polyhedral Dice 2002) This program will simulate a standard set of polyhedral dice, which are commonly used in pen & paper role-playing games.

The program is very simple to use, but like most random-number generators the results can seem quite unrealistic.  To combat this, I have included Enhancements to the roles: 

• You can specify an average role, where the program will generate each number 3 times, and report the average
• Automatically re-roll any result of 1.
• Simulate a "loaded" die.  This option will artificially limit the lowest (and highest) result possible based on the number of sides on the die.  The program automatically will determine the appropriate die weight, but the amount is user configurable.  If you specify a die weight that is higher than the number of sides, the program will change it to the maximum number of sides without any prompting, so no "super" cheating allowed!

Pocket PC Requirements:

• Pocket PC 2002 Device (Pocket PC 2000 with a Strong ARM processor might work, but I haven't tested it)
• 750K of available storage space.  (This program should work without error running from a storage card, as it makes no registry entries outside of the installer program)
• eMbedded Visual Basic runtime libraries (These come pre-installed on most Compaq iPAQ devices, but are included in the installer.  You need these for any eMbedded Visual Basic application)

Desktop Requirements :

• ActiveSync Version 3.5 or higher.  You can get the latest version from Microsoft here.
• Approx 1 MB of HDD space (for installation, only 750K once installed)
