Struct rouler::Roller

source · [−]
pub struct Roller<'a> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

The Roller is the core struct of the library. The basic principle is to provide a reusable container that provides a specific kind of die roll, so that it can be quickly and easily repeated whenever called for. Each container contains the syntax of the roll type it represents, and the value of the last roll it made. Containers are thus self-mutating, but self-contained.

The main benefit is thus in code organization, as one can store different types of rolls for easy use later.

Implementations

Creates a new Roller with the given die roll syntax, and populates the stored total with a first roll of the indicated dice. Because subsequent rerolls mutate the object in order to store the most recent roll, it should be declared with let mut if you intend to reroll it.

Panics

As a Roller rolls itself on creation, it thus triggers the parser, and incorrect syntax will cause a panic.

Examples
use rouler::Roller;

let mut laser_damage = Roller::new("1d4*10");

println!("Damage, rnd 1: {}", laser_damage.total());
println!("Damage, rnd 2: {}", laser_damage.reroll());

Rollers implement Eq and Ord, based on their current totals, so die results can be compared directly without having to first call the total method:

let att = Roller::new("1d20 + 5");
let def = Roller::new("1d20 + 2");

if att > def {
    println!("You struck the monster!");
} else {
    println!("You missed!");
}

For convenience’s sake, Rollers also implement Display, so they are printable:

println!("{}", Roller::new("4d8 + 5"));
// => [4d8 + 5: 24]

Rolls the Roller’s die roll, stores the value in total, and then returns it. In this way, you can use Roller::reroll() in place as a value, rather than needing to call the method seperately.

Examples
use rouler::Roller;

let mut stat = Roller::new("3d6");

println!("STR (3d6): {}", stat.total());        // => STR (3d6): 14
println!("DEX (3d6+1): {}", stat.reroll() + 1); // => DEX (3d6+1): 13

println!("{}", stat);                           // prints [3d6: 12]

Returns the result of the last roll made by the Roller.

Returns a reference to self for use as an Iterator. This allows for iterating infinitely and lazily over successive rolls of the dice. By borrowing as mutable, the state of the internal total is preserved, so that calls to total() will remain consistent.

Examples
// Collect multiple results to a vector:
let stats = Roller::new("3d6").iter().take(6).collect::<Vec<i64>>();

Remember! Rollers are infinite iterators: always use take() to avoid infinite loops! This is safe:

// Keep rolling until a result greater than a threshold:
assert!(Roller::new("4d6").iter().skip_while(|&x| x < 13).take(1).last().unwrap() >= 13);

But this will not terminate:

ⓘ
assert!(Roller::new("4d6").iter().skip_while(|&x| x < 13).last().unwrap() >= 13);
