Dicer
=====
A dice roller expression evaluator written in Elixir!
Installation
============
Pre-requisites
--------------
* Erlang 17 or greater
* Elixir 1.0.1
* git (to clone the repository)
Creating a command line binary
------------------------------
`mix escript.build`
From here, execute rolls like this:
`$ dicer "1+2+3"`
Running in interactive shell
----------------------------
`iex -S mix`
From here, execute rolls like this:
`iex(1)> Dicer.roll "1+2+3"`
Details
=======
Dicer is an elixir application that lets you evaluate dice rolls with simple arithmetic operators. the operators supported are `+, -, /, *`, grouping via parentheses, and designating dice via `<quantity>d<sides>` format (Ex. 20d8 or D100).
Why?
====
Because it was a fun, somewhat non-trivial way to work in Elixir.

Thanks to [Lukasz Wrobel](http://lukaszwrobel.pl/) for his [short series on parsing](http://lukaszwrobel.pl/blog/math-parser-part-1-introduction). Part 3 was my template for my code, even if it took me way too long to translate the loops into recursive function calls!
