About LogRoller

My application, LogRoller, is a GM-tool designed to streamline offline tabletop RPG gameplay. It can help replace the need for bulky books full of rollable tables, and bags full of exotic dice, if the GM opts for a device (e.g., laptop) instead. Here's an overview of its features and capabilities:

Core Features

1. Command-Based Interface:
   • Interact with the app using slash commands (e.g., /roll, /table, /music).
   • Commands are processed in a simple chat-style interface.
2. Dice Rolling:
   • Roll dice with full math support, including modifiers.
   • Supports standard dice (e.g., 2d20+5)
   • …and Fudge dice (4dF with results like [+], [-], [_]).
3. Table Rolling:
   • Dynamically load tables from the /table/ folder.
   • Handles basic table rolls (/table loot).
   • Supports nested tables (A Friend -> npc)
   • …and multi-roll entries (Three Rolls -> lcr-die -> lcr-die -> lcr-die).
   • Use of InnerHTML allows html font styles/colors, and image embedding.
4. Music Embedding:
   • Play music directly in the interface with /music.
   • Dynamically fetch .mp3 files from the /music/ folder and embed audio players in the chat.
5. Text File Reading:
   • Read entire text files with /read.
   • Dynamically fetch .txt files from the /read/ folder to display as formatted text in the chat.
6. Passage of Time:
   • Manage different modes of play (e.g., /turn combat, /turn travel).
   • Automatically outputs the duration of a turn based on the mode:
     • Combat: 6 seconds.
     • Social: 1 minute.
     • Exploration: 10 minutes.
     • Travel: 1 hour.
     • ShortRest: 1 hour.
     • LongRest: 8 hours.
     • NextDay: Indicate the break from night to day.
7. Command Dropdown:
   • A dropdown above the input box allows you to quickly choose commands and dynamically updates as new tables, music files, and readable text files are added.
8. Notes:
   • Add custom notes to the log with /note.
9. Help and Documentation:
   • Use /help to see a list of commands and their descriptions.

Dynamic and Configurable Elements

1. Dynamically Populated Commands:
   • Automatically fetches available tables, music, and readable files on page load.
   • Updates the dropdown menu in real-time to include all available options.
2. Nested and Multi-Roll Table Support:
   • Handles deeply nested table references (e.g., A -> B -> C -> D).
   • Resolves multiple rolls in a single entry (e.g., Three Rolls -> lcr-die -> lcr-die -> lcr-die).
