Star Wars RPG Dice

What is it?

The Star Wars RPG Dice app is an RPG dice-roller for Star Wars tabletop games, such as Edge of the Empire, which this app was made for specifically. The app is for Android devices only.

Tech Stack

App is built in Kotlin via Android Studio and utilises the inbuilt constraint layout system for the UI. Not a bit of React Native in sight, how wonderful!

Features

The app allows the player to select which die they want to roll from the main page:

main screen

Then, if the game only includes one type of that die, it will roll it immediately. If it is a die that comes in multiple forms (as most do in the game), the app will instead prompt the user for the number of those particular dice they wish to roll:

number prompt

Finally, the app will perform the necessary number of rolls and show the results:

roll result

Presto!

Installing

While the project can be loaded into Android Studio and the debug version installed that way, the production version APK file is also included in the release directory. The latest release can be located on the Git 'Release' tab, where the APK file is included on its own, for ease.

Note, though the APK file is digitally signed, you will need to allow app installations from unknown locations on your device. Any average user of Android is likely familiar with that at this point; the setting for which can usually be found under the 'Security' section of your device.
