What is d7 Demo?

Game Science makes physical die(7)s but we can do it with a lot less overhead.

How the Template Works

The code for this demo creates an object showcasing a feature of the RollPlayer.js library and returns it to the template as demo.rollable. Both when the page loads and when the button above is pressed the template code calls demo.rollable.roll() and the returned result is displayed above. This process is identicle for all the demos allowing the explanations below to focus on only the object being demoed.

Every result is also logged to the console if you want to see a history after a bunch of button clicks.

Explanations

We're creating a wrapper object called demo so that the template code can access the inner workings of this particular example.

  1. 1: var demo = function() {

It is just as simple to create a virtual die with any number of sides as it is the trandtional polyhedral stuff. Here's how you create a seven sided die.

  1. 2: var d7 = RollPlayer.die(7);

Return an object so that our template code can access the star of this example as demo.rollable

  1. 3: return { rollable : d7 };
  2. 4: }();
