mmo-roll

An extremely basic CLI utility that emulates the built-in roll functionality in MMOs like World of Warcraft. Though those games often use /roll, this uses roll or \roll to avoid your command being mistaken for trying to access a file.

Installation

You must already have node and npm installed in order to use this. After that, it's as easy as...

npm install -g mmo-roll

The -g flag is important. This ensures it is saved as a global npm library and not to your local directory.

Usage

The most basic usage rolls a virtual d100, giving a value from one to a hundred, inclusive. The player with the highest score would then recieve the loot that is up for grabs.

roll
You rolled 86 (1-100)

If you provide a number after the command, that will be used as the maximum value of the roll, with 1 still being the minimum value.

roll 42
You rolled 37 (1-42)

Finally, providing two numbers separated by a hyphen or comma specifies a range with an arbitrary minimum as well.

roll 7-13
You rolled (7-13)
