/catan-dice-logger

Primary LanguageJava

Here's a super quick & dirty I rattled-off between turns playing Catan. After playing a fair bit, we've grown a bit untrusting of our dice, so we're now logging. This is practically pseudo-code, though, it works enough.

I'd like to burn this little thing down and expand to something much bigger/nicer.

Use

This isn't really meant for general consumption, but use would be:
  1. Manually type each dice roll sum (an integer) in to a text file. One line per roll.
  2. Invoke via 
    cat [mydicefile.txt] | ./run.sh
