Pictures of d6 -done!

BiggusGeekus

That's Latin for "cool"
I'm currently in the middle of job hunting. As I am a Java programmer I have many leads, but I'm constantly given asisgnments. My current assignment is to come up with a random number generator. This is pretty easy stuff, but the idea is not to test my skills, but my style. The end product will be much larger than it needs to be and have an insane level of documentation.

One of the things I want to do is have the generator roll d6s and show a little picture of the rolled die. It is surprisingly hard to find pictures of a single d6 on the web. For example, I found pictures of a half-naked woman before I found a picture of a solitary d6 with a number 4. I'm sure further talk about the half-naked woman would only bore you, so I'll continue.

Request
Images of a single d6 with all numbers clearly displayed

or

Zany, wacky, but tasteful images of numbers from 1 to 6


If worst comes to worst, I'll just whip out a digital camera and take pictures myself, but I'd rather see if anyone else has something similar already done.

Edit: finished! see further down in the thread for the code

Do you mean 6 still images with all the individual faces or a moving video?

I could try the still ones if you like, but I might forget/get round to it.
 

Stills.

I've looked on Google images already. The pickings are surprisingly slim.

I'll probably end up doing it myself tonight. No huge deal.
 




My friend had a neat die roller program on a Monopoly game he made. He just photoshopped up some white squares with black dots in it. You can even "round" the edges. Nothing special about them.

It looked really good. It acually "rolled" by showing random "sides" quickly then slowing down until stopping.
 

Bad pictures of several different d6s, and a lot of them are embedded in other images, but...

By what method are you actually going to generate a random number?

And what market are you looking in? I seem to recall my recruiting firm looking for Java folks. They are based in Charlotte. But they place people in Richmond, and Raleigh as well. If you're interested. The cost of living is much less than in D.C., which IIRC, is where you live currrently.

Hey, I live in Charlotte.
