So I just got a Pebble last week and found out that you can write stuff for it, so I wrote a Shadowrun dice roller for it.  Would folks want me to try and figure out how to get it out to the store for all to use?  It's pretty basic, you say how many dice you want (starts at 12, but you can go up or down), if you are edging, hit go, it tells you your number of hits, number of ones, and alerts for glitches/crit glitches.

I can put it up there too, but if I put on pebble store anyone can get it.

I'm not too familiar with Pebble...there appears to be both Android and iOS versions...would your dice roller be available on both platforms?

AJ. The pebble is a watch that can connect to your phone. Folks can write apps, watch faces, and companion apps (these are apps on the phone that could be OS specific). Mine is just a watch app so the phone shouldn't matter.

Ahhh...ok, thanks.

So I'm going to try and get this out to the pebble store and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for improvements before I do.  Currently I have:

Displayed:
If pre edging or not
Number of dice
Hits
Ones
Total rolls since start (to make sure I hit the button)
If you glitched or critically glitched

Functionality sides rolling:
Increase or decrease dice by one
Increase or decrease dice by five
Switch if pre edging or not

Any other ideas?  The only thing I could think of was post edging, but not sure best way to implement.

Have an option for "rolling initiative".
Let the person pre-enter their Character's initiative for real world, cold sim and hot sim.
Then let them hit a button to "roll initiative".

Similar to the above you could have a few options for people to pre-enter their character's most important pools and then hit a button to roll them (dodge, main weapon etc).

The problem I run into is that there's limited things I can do (3 buttons and 2 modes each, currently each do things).  I could make the select cycle, but to do settings via the phone app I'd have to host my own webpage somewhere, which I don't want to do.  I'll look into cycling, but prefilling (and letting them pick) will be hard.  I'm open for design ideas if you have em though.

swipe left to roll?
that would be fun.

swipe right to scroll back through your roll history?

double-tap to re-roll failures?

swipe up to set a new pool?

sounds like a fun project.

Well, pebble doesn't have a touch pad.  It's a eInk screen with 3 buttons (up, down, select).  Currently I have select just toggle edging or not, but I could set it up go through no edge, edge, init, etc.  I just wish I could have a settings page without having a stupid site hosted.

OK it's out on the store. Feel free to let me know what you think.  You can search shadowrun. The name is srroller.
