Struct dicelib::dice::DiceRoll

pub struct DiceRoll {
    pub rolls: u32,
    pub sides: u32,
}

A dice roll expressed in RPG term e.g. 3d6 means "roll a 6-sided die 3 times".

Fields

rolls: u32

How many times the dice will be rolled.

sides: u32

The maximum number of sides the dice has. If it has 6 sides, the most it can roll for at any one time is 6.

Implementations

impl DiceRoll

pub const MINIMUM_ROLLS: u32

All dice must be rollable at least once.

pub const MINIMUM_SIDES: u32

All dice must have at least 2 sides.

pub fn new(rolls: u32, sides: u32) -> Result<Self>

Create a DiceRoll.

Errors

• rolls is less than 1
• sides is less than 2

pub fn from_string(string: &str) -> Result<Self>

Create a DiceRoll from a string.

use dicelib::dice::DiceRoll;
let dice = DiceRoll::from_string(&"3d6".to_string()).unwrap();

Errors

• See parse_rolls_and_sides()

pub fn parse_rolls_and_sides(string: &str) -> Result<(u32, u32)>

Utility function to parse the rolls and sides of a dice roll string into a pair of u32s. If you want a DiceRoll, use from_string() instead.

use dicelib::dice::DiceRoll;
let (rolls, sides) = DiceRoll::parse_rolls_and_sides(&"1d4".to_string()).unwrap();

Errors

• If rolls or sides cannot be matched (expression is malformed)
• If the matched rolls and sides are not parseable as u32

pub fn roll(&self, rng: &mut impl RngCore) -> Result<u32>

Performs the DiceRoll and returns the sum of all rolls.

Errors

• IntegerOverFlow if the rolls and sides are very, very big numbers.
