Dice Bag

Placehlder. First WatchKit app that actually does anything -- die roller for tabletop games and such.

It starts up set to "1d4". You can pick a different die type with either the "picker" or the crown.

Push the "Roll" button and it adds the results to a growing scrollable list below the line. Push the "Clear" button and it empties out that list.

The next step is to support changing the number of dice, so you can for example roll "3d6".

The step after that is to add "best of" support, so you can roll "the best 3 out of 4d6". (That's already in the "engine", I just have to make a UI for it.)

Oh, and I really should add a UI to the iOS app.

Possible future feature: a tvOS app that talks to it via GameKit "GKMatchmaker" thing (or maybe some other P2P protocol?), displaying the results labeled by GameCenter user (or something?), so you can "roll in front of" a group of people.

dice-bag's Issues

The iOS app should probably do something.

The same basic UI should work okay on a standard iOS device. No real reason for it to be completely useless for people without a phone.

I need to think over whether the "roll history" should be independent or should sync between them.

Damned thing doesn't work.

I've messed up handling some required state transition. The app works fine on the first run, but when it reloads after not running for a while, it clearly becomes internally inconsistent. I think I have to totally revamp how one selects what dice to roll.
