My Fork

[Craig-Macomber]

I have made a lot of changes on my fork of Caith.

I was having a hard time understanding how the history was handled and wanted to have nicer formatted output for my roller.

I refactored it to have separate parse and evaluation steps, and for the evaluation to not mutate anything and instead additively construct a history which can be nicely formatted.

I redesigned how dice are handled, implementing a DiceKind abstraction which is implemented both for normal dice and fudge dice allowing options to work on both with a single implementation.

Now even silly expressions like: 6d6 e5 K3 r2 d2 e6 + 5df k4 e( ) work:

Doing this however involved rewriting most of the code, and I didn't try and keep the API compatible and dropped support for the optional features like ova, cde and cards. Adding a DiceKind for card decks shouldn't be hard.

I have some further changes planned as well, like support for variables. At this point I think it makes sense for me to rename my implementation to be its own thing separate from caith (Crediting caith as appropriate). I haven't done this yet, but I likely will soon.

I just wanted to post here, to thank you for your work on caith, and let you know that my modifications exist in-case you are interested in them. If you want, you could integrate my changes back into caith as a version 5.0.0, and maybe even re-implement the features I removed. If you do that, I may re-base my fork on it so any future changes I make would be easier to integrate if desired.

I have done the rename, as well as moved the source. My fork now lives in https://github.com/Craig-Macomber/game-tools/tree/main/dicey and I have archived the old repo.
