Last night I received my invite to participate in the AppInventor BETA from Google, so naturally it’s all I have been doing all day today.
Initially, I went through their tutorials creating apps like from one that allows you to tap on an image cats face to make it meow, to one that let’s you draw as you tap and drag your finger on a canvas. But with those out of the way, I was ready to dive in and see what it would take to make what most RPG players think of first when they think of apps… dice rollers.
The AppInventor is very powerful, and it didn’t take long to see just how much was possible with it (“anything” according to Google). So, I decided I would make a dice roller myself, aptly named “Weem’s Dice Roller”. I am still working on it, but I figured I take a break and share the fun, and an image. It is a very simple dice roller, but hey, I’m just getting started!
Oh, one more thing! I did mention making a dice roller for Dresden Files – that is still a plan and something I really want to do, but I thought I would start with something I was more familiar with 😉
Avengers would like 2 d20 slots. But other than that fringe nitpick, it looks pretty neat.
Yea, there’s a lot of features these could use – but it’s my first so it gets to be simple, hehe. No one will get to use this one I’m sure 😉
Android needs more RPG apps for sure. Try to make sure it works on larger res too, for future roofing. I Will be ordering an android tablet soon. Maybe even this week coming… cheap ipad knock off zenithink zt180
