CALCULATOR DICE-ROLLING PROGRAM

      This program works on Sharp EL-9200, 9200C, 9300 and 9300C in theory, although I have only tested it on my EL-9200C. Computer (calculator?) freaks out there might be able (in fact it shouldn't be hard) to convert this to other type of calculators.

      The dice rolling program asks you for the number of dice, then for the difficulty and gives you the number of successes. It doesn't takes note of the rule of 1, because it almost never happens with a decent dice pool and because I was too lasy and my calculator didn't have much memory to program it. The initiative program asks for the number of dice and the reaction and gives the resulting initiative. It doesn't consider the use of the "adrenaline surge" (or any other edge or flaw for that matter) edge.
       

      Dice Rolling Program

      input dice
      input difficulty
      success=0
      label first
      r=0
      dice=dice-1
      label second
      r=int(random*6)+1+r
      if (r/6)=int(r/6)goto second
      if r>=difficulty goto sub
      label third
      if dice>0 goto first
      print success
      end
      label sub
      success=success+1
      goto third

      Since the EL-9300 has more memory you might want to add a little more text to make the program more enjoyable, the same goes to the initiative program.

      Initiative Program

      input dice
      input reaction
      c=0
      label first
      reaction=reaction+int(reaction*6)+1
      c=c+1
      if c(doesn't equal)dice goto first
      initiative=reaction
      print initiative

      I've found those two programs to be quite useful in games, when you don't want throw a bucket of dice, or you don't want the player to notice your throwing dice (like with the danger sense physad power), or you don't want them to know how many dice your throwing (if you throw only one dice, they'll notice...). They have the advantage of being able of making screen-free games, where our not indered by the gm screen (which I don't like, especially if there are chips on the table ;-). Anyway, if you don't have a portable computer but have a scientific calculator, they're worth giving a try.

      I've made a dice rolling program for white wolf games, ask me in an e-mail if you want it.
