Mice roll is simple tool to roll DnD-like dices in your terminal.

Vaguely inspired by https://github.com/Humblemonk/DiceMaiden, though it isn't meant to be compatible.

Usage example

Install

Main way of installing this tool:

• install rust and cargo using rustup
• run cargo install mice-roll

Nix/NixOS

If you have Nix with flakes enabled, you can also use nix run git+https://codeberg.org/jilinoleg/mice-roll/ -- 1d20 to run this app once

It's also possible to use nix profile with it or to add to your NixOS/Home Manager configuration for permanent install.

• Run as mice-roll 1d20 to test if it's working Optionally you can run cp -a mice-roll ~/.local/bin/ to add it into your PATH and allow running from any folder

How to use

Currently, this tool takes a single argument with dices and numbers separated by plus or minus sign.

mice-roll 1d20 # single 20-sided dice roll
mice-roll 2d20 # roll twice
mice-roll 1d20+1d6 # roll one d20 dice, and one d6 dice, and add results
mice-roll 1d20+1 # single d20, 1 is added to result
mice-roll 1d6-2 # single d6, 2 is substracted from result

We also have several optional arguments as command line flags.

mice-roll --help # prints help and quits
mice-roll 1d20 --quiet # silences output, only prints result
mice-roll 3d20 --accesible # provides more screen reader friendly output, replaces brackets with commas
