# This class models a combination of GamesDice::Bunch objects plus a fixed offset. # # An object of this class is a dice "recipe" that specifies the numbers and types of # dice that can be rolled to generate an integer value. # # @example '3d6+6' hitpoints, whatever that means in the game you are playing # d = GamesDice::Dice.new( [{:ndice => 3, :sides => 6}], 6, 'Hit points' ) # d.roll # => 20 # d.result # => 20 # d.explain_result # => "3d6: 3 + 5 + 6 = 14. 14 + 6 = 20" # d.probabilities.expected # => 16.5 # # @example Roll d20 twice, take best result, and add 5. # d = GamesDice::Dice.new( [{:ndice => 2, :sides => 20 , :keep_mode => :keep_best, :keep_number => 1}], 5 ) # d.roll # => 21 # d.result # => 21 # d.explain_result # => "2d20: 4, 16.
