Rolling dice

[Skippers]

I would like to create a dice (preferably 3d) that can be rolled and a random number from 1 to 6 will appear. This result will also produce a random line of text from a list.

Will be able to add more dice which would mean a greater number of random numbers and text opportunities.

If anyone has any tips or ideas to get me started that would be fantastic!

Many thanks

I would build a single dice class using papervision then create a full animaiton of the dice rolling and comming to rest

You could then randomly change the locations of the numbers / orientaion of the dice

Good luck and let me know how you get on

I hadn't heard of papervision before and I can't even find an official site for it. Is it plug in for flash or a separate software etc?

So are you talking about doing a bit of coding within this papervision and then tweening a flash animation?

Thanks for this info

this is a papervision of a cube=

basially you make 6 flat sides and make some fancy code to place those sides in a 3d way

what are the two dots in your little diagram?

by fancy code you still mean AS3?

Here's 2 examples using Away3D for rendering and jiglib for physics:
