Most of the dice_ examples do not work

[finchco]

It looks like they were written before? without? the rest of the structure of rotLove. Need to refactor them into a working state.

True. This is the working dice example:

rotLove/examples/dice.lua

Lines 1 to 39 in 9b89af6

	ROT=require 'src.rot'
	local f, d_with_rng, rng
	function love.load()
	f=ROT.Display:new(80,24)
	rng=ROT.RNG:new()
	d_with_rng=ROT.Dice:new('3d6', 1):setRNG(rng)
	d_without_rng=ROT.Dice:new('3d6', 1)
	end
	function love.draw() f:draw() end
	local t=1.00000001
	function love.update(dt)
	if t>1 then
	f:clear()
	f:writeCenter("ROLL instance with rng: "..d_with_rng:roll(), 1)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL instance with rng: "..d_with_rng:roll(), 2)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL instance with rng: "..d_with_rng:roll(), 3)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL instance with rng: "..d_with_rng:roll(), 4)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL instance without rng: "..d_without_rng:roll(), 6)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL instance without rng: "..d_without_rng:roll(), 7)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL instance without rng: "..d_without_rng:roll(), 8)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL instance without rng: "..d_without_rng:roll(), 9)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL ROT.Dice with rng: "..ROT.Dice.roll('3d6', 1, lcg), 11)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL ROT.Dice with rng: "..ROT.Dice.roll('3d6', 1, lcg), 12)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL ROT.Dice with rng: "..ROT.Dice.roll('3d6', 1, lcg), 13)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL ROT.Dice with rng: "..ROT.Dice.roll('3d6', 1, lcg), 14)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL ROT.Dice without rng: "..ROT.Dice.roll('3d6', 1), 16)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL ROT.Dice without rng: "..ROT.Dice.roll('3d6', 1), 17)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL ROT.Dice without rng: "..ROT.Dice.roll('3d6', 1), 18)
	f:writeCenter("ROLL ROT.Dice without rng: "..ROT.Dice.roll('3d6', 1), 19)
	f:writeCenter("Rolling 3d6's", 23)
	t=0
	end
	t=t+dt
	end

and this is one of the more advanced examples where I didn't properly convert everything to using rot

rotLove/examples/dice_basic.lua

Lines 1 to 44 in 9b89af6

	dice = require('dice')
	math.randomseed(os.time())
	-- some basic dice you see in boardgames
	single_die = dice:new(6) -- is the same as dice:new('1d6')
	die_result = single_die:roll()
	monopoly_dice = dice:new('2d6')
	monopoly_turn = monopoly_dice:roll()
	D&D_dice = dice:new('1d20') -- we could also use dice:new(20)
	roll_to_hit = D&D_dice:roll()
	risk_attackers_dice = dice:new('(1d6)x3')
	risk_defenders_dice = dice:new('(1d6)x2')
	attack_1, attack_2, attack_3 = risk_attackers_dice:roll()
	defend_1, defend_2 = risk_defenders_dice:roll()
	--alternatively we could just put the risk roll results in a table
	attackers_result = { risk_attackers_dice:roll() }
	defenders_result = { risk_defenders_dice:roll() }
	-- Another method to roll dice is instead of using the roguelike dice notation, we can just feed the roll function a direct number
	die_result = dice.roll(6)
	monopoly_turn = dice.roll(6) + dice.roll(6)
	roll_to_hit = dice.roll(20)
	attack_1, attack_2, attack_3 = dice.roll(6), dice.roll(6), dice.roll(6)
	defend_1, defend_2 = dice.roll(6), dice.roll(6)
	-- Or we can roll the dice just using the notation alone without having to use dice:new()
	die_result = dice.roll('1d6')
	monopoly_turn = dice.roll('2d6')
	roll_to_hit = dice.roll('1d20')
	attack_1, attack_2, attack_3 = dice.roll('(1d6)x3')
	defend_1, defend_2 = dice.roll('(1d6)x2')
	-- notice we omitted the colon from the dice roll function because a dice instance is not neccessary although
	-- every roll will initialize the dice table, return the result, and then discard the dice table
	-- which means if you will be using dice continously it will be more efficent to use dice:new()

Ok cool. I can take point on converting / fixing these.
