suggestion Dice/RNG

[Rob4ix]

In short: maybe have some sort of embed or function or tool that allows to choose a random number/text. Maybe it could work in a way that you put in a function and when you post, it auto-corrects to one of the random results. No need to make a sum function or something like that, it can be just a simple RNG, but its important that irs random, can choose from X to Y and shows same results to everyone.

I would honestly love to! Unfortunately we've had issues with this:

Roll the Dice!:
Never worked as intended, the RNG system was utterly broken. Let me explain.

I did these tests using the same conditions for each. Ten tests of 1,000,000 (one million) rolls of a D20 dice over five days for a ten million rolls total. I was expecting an average of 10.5; I know I wasn’t going to get exactly 10.5 but I knew it had to be as close to 10.5 as possible. Both tests were done on the exact same computer, under a Linux Operating System.

• The EcchiDreams version rolled an average of 7.8999148 which is a massive deviation of -2.6000852 from the expected average of 10.50. It also took a very long while to simulate these rolls on an Intel Core i7 8700K processor. 
• The other project that I’m working on which rolled an average of 10.4999328 which is -0.0000672 deviation from the expected average of 10.50, under the exact same conditions. It took next to no time to simulate these rolls on an Intel Core i7 8700K Processor. 

So use that then, job done! Right?! 

Well, no. Our server is not set up to run C#. EcchiDreams uses PHP the other project will be in C#. I’ve shelved it for EcchiDreams and I will be implementing it on the other project that I am working on; that I will talk about at the end of this newsletter (See EcchiDreams in the Future).

Unfortunately the other project we're working on has hit blunded through several legal problems all at once and is temporarily on hold. 

I am currently working on a major upgrade for EcchiDreams right now; but I can safely say it won't include a dice roller, sadly.

Hm, and i suppose using some external resource for rolling would be problematic... I know you probably checked that but maybe you have done some kind of error when setting up tests?

Also i found you can put in links to specifc rolls from rolz.com, but it requires setting up a room... What if make it embedded or combined with ecchi dreams otherwise?

Hey  i think i might have found some solutions.

I don't see why I can't try some experiments again. I have the old data, and I have the same computer that generated the initial data. 

I'll look into it, but no promises. What I can promise is when I get around to it, I will add my findings here.

And if that works then we can be expecting dice feature?

As stated somewhat previously. I am highly reluctant to make any promises. But it is something I'd like to see as well.
