Visually appealing dice roller?

I'm sure you've all seen Mach Dice by now. In case you haven't...

Mach Dice: Roll for iPhone initiative - Boing Boing Gadgets

Does anybody know of a similar program for pda or tablet pc? You'd think somebody would've thought to make a decent looking dice roller before now, eh?

I write ViewingDale dice app which is very similar for the PC. It might work on a tablet PC but the program uses hardware graphics card acceleration to do it. You can switch that off if it whinges about that tho. Its a completely free app so try it here:-

It also allows networking so you can remotely shake dice and you see other members dice rolls. And yeah it does d7 and d2 and expression parser up to 1000 dice, you have dice colors and types too like metal or plastic red, blue or all colors.

The next time I get an accelerometer for my big desktop box ill hook it into that so when I shake it about it rolls the dice... ok maybe not !

enjoy !

There are dice rollers out there, but lots of them need you to type numbers in boxes. This is OK for computers with keyboards, but tapping is much more user friendly when using a stylus. So, I made this little HTML Javascript number. I actually started with the dice roller on the wizards site (cos I know nothing about javascript), but it is practically all re-written except for the random number function (don't sue me, WotC!!)

It is visually unappealling as it stands but replace my terrible gifs with the dice
gifs from the wizards' dice roller it looks quite nice. It can only roll standard dice, but the only input is by tapping. You roll single die or any combination and get a total.
