Curie Dice for Austin Maker Faire
A demo for the Intel Arduino 101 where curie boards housed in dice move cars along a game track when they are rolled.

Each CurieDice will detect its current roll and transmit that data to the server over BLE. The server processes this data and transmits that data to the game itself - a thick client written in Java.
Componentry
The dice component can be emulated through API into the node server. To simulate a roll of '6' from dice '1':
curl -u amf:amf -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"dice": 1, "value": 6}' http://<serverhost>:8080/roll
This can be done to test connectivity without having live BLE-connected dice.
To simulate sending a command '6' to dice '1':
curl -u amf:amf -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"dice": 1, "value": 6}' http://<serverhost>:8080/command
This can be done to test connectivity without having live BLE-connected dice.
