RollPlay Dice Library

The RollPlay Dice Library is a shared library/DLL which provides a slew of dice rolling capabilities. It has numerous random number generators, including some that are truly random (depending on hardware).
RollPlay is geared towards role-playing games. It can turn standard dice descriptions (e.g. "4d6+3", "2d30 + d100 + 2", etc.) of any length into internal, fast dice objects which track their own statistics (if desired). It can also handle "tests" from games like Shadowrun or Vampire, where a number of open-ended dice are rolled in an attempt to beat a target number.
RollPlay is available for a number of platforms, using a standard interface, for each porting your application.
Ultimately, DivNull Software intends to produce several programs based on the RollPlay dice library.

DropNuke and DropUnlock
Platform: Mac OS X
Current Version: 1.0
File Size: 40K
Cost: Freeware
MacOS X has a strange issue deleting files that were locked under OS 9. When you throw such files away and try to empty the trash, you can get -43 errors or messages indicating you do not have permission to delete the files (even if you are logged in as root).
These two utilities, made possible entirely by Wilfredo Sánchez's excellent utility DropScript, allow you to handle such files without using the command line.
DropUnlock will clear the OS 9 lock flags on files or files in a directory dragged onto it.
DropNuke will both clear the flags and permanently delete a file or directory of files dragged onto it.
WARNING: The purpose of DropNuke is to permanently delete files. As such, it must be used with caution. DropNuke and DropUnlock are provided without warrantee of any kind. By downloading DropNuke, you agree that neither DivNull Software nor DropNuke's author are responsible or liable for any data loss resulting from intentional or accidental use of DropNuke.
WARNING: Dragging an alias to a folder directly to DropNuke will permanently delete files and folders in the original folder; however, aliases contained within items dragged are not resolved in this manner.
If you are unsure about whether to use DropNuke or not, don't. Instead, use DropUnlock. In most cases, this will clear the "internal lock" on files, allowing them to be emptied from the trash properly.

Knight's Tour AfterDark Module
Platform: Macintosh 68K
Current Version: 1b0
File Size: 84K
Cost: E-mail ware
Currently in alpha release Knight's Tour is an AfterDark/DarkSide module which illustrates a knight touring a chessboard such that it lands on every square exactly once. This particular tour is unique in that it forms a magic sqaure. Each move is numbered sequentially, that is the starting position of the knight is move 1, the first move is move 2, the second is move 3 and so on. If you put the number of the move on the square the knight lands on, the resulting grid of numbers has columns and row that each add up to be the same number.
Download the Knight's Tour module from any of these sites:

- Apple Computer's Sumex mirror (California, USA)
- DivNull archive (Massachusetts, USA)
