Title: Map creator for dungeons and dragons
Post by: Withane on July 24, 2021, 09:40:58 PM
Hey everyone, I have no idea how to program, but I have a few ideas I would like to explore for dungeons and dragons but have no clue where to begin.

I would love to have a dice roller program, a basic character sheet program, and a basic map maker (kind of like the program shmeppy if you have seen it).

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Withane,

If you're looking to create these applications on the Tiny Arcade or Pocket Arcade, we do have a (quite long) tutorial about developing a game for these platforms that may help you get started with these ideas: https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Help/Developing-a-Game-For-Tiny-Arcade_Tutorial/

There are also other programs for different games available on the forum, like the game Color Monsters that works similar to Pokémon - http://forum.tinycircuits.com/index.php?topic=1919.msg3770#msg3770

A dice roller program would be a great place to start. You would need to use a random component and a display visual component for this. So using the Arduino Random library would help: https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/random-numbers/random/ and it may help to look at other dice roller Arduino projects and programs to get comfortable with the programming style: https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/projects/tags/dice

I hope that helps. Let me know if you need help along the way or have any questions!

Best,
Réna

Hi Withane! If you're still looking for it, I made a dice roller:
