Mathematica - Multiple, Multiply Sided Dice

Published: Mar 27, 2014 by K. E. Claytor

I recently contributed a demonstrations to the wolfram demonstrations project.

Multiple, Multiply Sided Dice

This allows you to quickly view the probability distributions for obtaining certain values from rolling many dice of varying sizes (two to twenty sided). This can be really helpful for getting a feel for how likely it is to achieve a certain result or better. I’m using it for game design - it helps me decide which types and how many dice to use.

House Temperature Logging

I was interested in temperature, humidity monitoring around the house to see if there were any trends, or if the basement was getting too humid. In particular, looking for a low-effort way to get data into a dashboard, I was eager to try out the AdafruitIO framework. They limit you to two managed whippersnapper devices (but you can have more using your IO key), and 10 feeds (this is the real limiter, with each stream of data being one feed).

Netrunner Laser-Cut Identities (Smoke & Outfit)

After the success of the last Netrunner laser-cut ID’s I thought I would do another set for East Coast Nationals 2023. This was right before Smoke (one of my favorite runners) was going to rotate, and The Outfit was doing super strong, so I had an easy time deciding what to do.

Netrunner Laser-Cut Identities

I’ve been using the laser cutter/engraver to generate some Netrunner identities for some time, and finally got some that look really good.
