Hi,
To play some RPGs and Gamebooks on my computer I wanted a simple and fast dice roller program, so I programed one (called Instadice), and in the hope that it would be useful to somebody I am sharing it here.

Thanks.

That's not a valid link(now fixed), but it was easy enough to search sourceforge for instadice.

I would assume everyone here can roll their own dice.

Always nice to get more code Dox.

For dice rolling I usually use something like this:

GetNum = Millisecs() Mod 6 + 1

It's enough for my purposes.

GetNum = Millisecs() Mod 6 + 1

Strictly speaking, that could fail. Millisecs() might be negative. I would use Rand(1,6).

It's also not random if the program is running in a fairly repetitive cycle.
