Re: "Farkle"

In: u/gritty

@gritty I noticed you made some interface improvements a few days ago. Nice! 👍

I have a question: how is your random numbers being generated? Some typical PRNG or do you have a higher-quality source for randomness? Not sure how much difference it makes in the end. Something to look into one day, perhaps.

@skyjake thanks!

for the numbers, IIRC it's something fairly basic in Python. I noticed the dice don't seem to have the real life "feel" as well. I'm working on the tournament board you suggested, so once I finish that and squash the bug that just got id'd I'll check into the number generator.

— Play Here

Farkle — I created the game Farkle for Gemini. Instead of playing against one another, you get 10 rounds to score as high as you can and rank on a leaderboard for the day. I still need to fix my cron job to reset the game every day, but it should be rather functional. bug identification or suggestions welcomed.
