# alea-iacta-est
Alea Iacta Est is a Discord bot designed to help running RPG sessions over the network.

The bot supports system specific rolls and also has an expression solver to work on more generic rolls.
## Expression Engine
The expression engine is built to be used as a simple dice roller and can be invoked using the `!alea expr <expression>` command.
It can solve compounded expression in algebrical sum form, and can interpret - beside simple integer constants - the following notations:

- **Simple Dice notation** *NdX*, for example 2d8 - which means roll two dice each with eight faces.
- **Roll'n'Keep (upper) notation** *NdXkY*, for example 10d6k5 - which means roll ten dice each with six faces, then sum together the 5 highest values
- **Roll'n'Keep (lower) notation** *NdXlY*, for example 10d6l5 - which means roll ten dice each with six faces, then sum together the 5 lowest values
- **Roll Above notation** *NdX/Y*, for example 5d10/7 - which means roll five dice each with ten faces, then count those with a value higher than, or equal to seven
- **Roll Below notation** *NdX\Y*, for example 3d20\13 - which means roll three dice each with twenty faces, then count those with a value lesser than, or equal to thirteen

For example, a perfecly valid expression could be: `4d4/3  + 10d6k5 - 1d8 - 1d12\5 +7` which could solve to anything between 3 and 40.

## Supported systems
The system-specific code is isolated in several plugins, as such the best way to know which systems the instance can support is using the `!alea system` command, which reports a list of systems and the relative commands (generally two, a 3 character shortcut and a long command).

At the moment of writing the systems supported are the following:

| System  | Text Shortcut  | Slash Command  |
| :------------ | :------------ | :------------ |
| 2d20 System  | `!alea 2d20`  | `/2d20-system`  |

## Run-It-Yourself
Aside from the official instance, you can run yourself an instance of the bot, simply by building the code and run it with the command line argument `--discordToken <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>`.
You can also exclude systems that you're not interested into, simply by removing the appropriate jar from classpath before running it.
