Dice roller and you

#1 Post by ToniXX »

Hello,
I'm looking to update the dice roller, making it more responsive for all different devices. Please let me know on what kind of device you usually use the roller. Desktop/laptop? iPad? Phone? What would you like to see changed in regards to design on the roller?
Thanks.

I very much like the current design.

I use a Desktop with Microsoft (Fire Fox) primarily but occasionally check from my IPhone on my dinner break, but rarely post that way. That has more to do with the size of the phone than the interface with the site, that is fine.

I pretty much do everything here on my Android phone. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that I would like to see changed.
Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Firefox on Linux, never use the roller on my phone. To be honest, I usually open a Mousepad text document, write my post, cut and paste the roll results into the doc, and then cut and paste the doc into the post.

For exploding dice, the easiest (assuming it's easy) thing would be to sort the base rolls. That would make it simple to find any dice that needed exploding, and then re-roll just that many.

I use the PC, IPad, and IPhone for posting and updating games.

Thanks for everything you do behind the scenes around here, Greg!

I primarily use a Mac Mini with the Safari browser, but will occasionally check new notifications from an iPhone 13 or iPad Pro (also Safari browser).

PC desktop - no changes needed.

Thanks for all the work behind the scenes.

PS If you do upgrade the roller please don't make it cleverer than a "really basic luddite" - posting this last for a friend... ;) :)
