      public Dice(String id)
      Instantiates this dice with the given ID.

  • Method Details

    • getID

      public String getID()
      Gets the ID of this dice type.
      Returns:
      The ID of this dice type.

    • hasDiceType

      public boolean hasDiceType()
      Gets whether this dice has an associated dice type. Custom dice may not have an associated dice type.
      Returns:
      Whether this dice has an associated dice type.

    • getDiceType

      public DiceType getDiceType()
      Gets the type of this dice.
      Returns:
      The type of this dice.

    • getName

      public String getName()
      Gets the name of this dice.
      Returns:
      The name of this dice.

    • hasState

      public boolean hasState()
      Returns whether this dice holds any state that affects its dice rolls. If this is overridden, then copyFrom(Dice) should also be overriden.
      Returns:
      Whether this dice holds any state that affects its dice rolls.

    • copyFrom

      public void copyFrom(Dice other)
      Copies the state of other into this dice. If the dice does not have state, this is a no-op. The state copied does _not_ include the seeding of the random number generator. If this is overriden, then hasState() should also be overriden.
      Parameters:
      other - The dice to copy the state from.

    • getMaxRollValue

      public abstract int getMaxRollValue()
      Gets the maximum value that could be rolled by this dice.
      Returns:
      The maximum value that this dice could possibly roll.

    • getRollProbabilities

      public abstract float[] getRollProbabilities()
      Gets the probability of rolling each value of the dice, where the index into the returned array represents the value of the roll.
      Returns:
      The probability of rolling each value of the dice.

    • rollValue

      public abstract int rollValue()
      Generates a random roll using this dice, and returns just the value. If this dice has state, this should call recordRoll(int).
      Returns:
      A random roll of this dice, and returns just the value.

    • recordRoll

      public void recordRoll(int value)
      Updates the state of this dice after having rolled value.
      Parameters:
      value - The value that was rolled using this dice.

    • generateRoll

      public abstract Roll generateRoll(int value)
      Generates a roll with value value using this dice. This does not update the state of the dice.
      Parameters:
      value - The value of the dice to be rolled.
      Returns:
      A roll with value value of this dice.

    • roll

      public Roll roll()
      Generates a random roll using this dice.
      Returns:
      A random roll of this dice.

    • roll

      public Roll roll(int value)
      Generates a roll with value value using this dice.
      Parameters:
      value - The value of the dice to be rolled.
      Returns:
      A roll with value value of this dice.
