A multiplayer dice rolling web/app so that I can roll some Platonic solids/polyhedron dice with my D&D friends at any time. Like during lunch.
I'm sure such a thing already exists but I'm having a go at it anyways. I have an app I use today (that I didn't create) to roll dice but it's just computing an RNG value and displaying that number in text and doesn't support multiple players. I want my creation to be flashier and physics based.
Skills I'm flexing
- technical artist skills with modeling, texturing, and VFX from writing shaders and crafting particles
- UX design from the interfaces and considering types of audio to delight the player
- gameplay programming from defining the simple loose "dice room" sandbox
- multiplayer programming obviously from having everyone connected to a room
- AWS solutions architecting from arranging my cloud resources, driven by terraform
- Linux system administration from providing a service on the internet in a secure way
So it's one of those small things that has enough going on with it for me to chew on for a few weeks to possibly even a few months if I want to support player customization topics. You know, custom dice, custom VFX, and maybe even being able to customize where the numbers actually are on your D*.
Fun stuff.
