    Default Beta Test "Statmachine"

    Okay, I got bored and built "Statmachine", a statistical analyzer for Warmachine/Hordes. Basically, you can put in some conditions, and roll up to 10 dice and see what happens. It is NOT a Monte Carlo simulator it is real statistics for up to 10 dice, and you can drop up to the two high and two low. So if you want to know the effectiveness of signs and portents on Drago controlled by Vlad effected by the butcher's feat on a charge against Cain holding onto 3 focus, tell it to roll 6 dice and drop the two low, put in the stats and modifiers and out comes the numbers.

    It handles re-rolls, double penetrating damage, multiple wounds, etc. Basically if you want to know what that combo should do or should have done, you can ask the Statmachine and it will tell you what you should have expected.

    So, who wants to volunteer to help me test/improve it? It will be free for everyone when I am done. So you don't get anything special for helping me. You just get your input.

    All rights etc. will remain PP's, They can even have the name Statmachine. I just did this because I was bored during an experiment this weekend.

    It's mostly a UI beta test. The statistics are solid. Basically, see if the build is working, try and break it by doing different things, tell me if the output is clear without me having to explain what the numbers mean. That sort of thing.

    Right now it is windows based, but it is simple enough that I could look into moving it over to android or iOS. Message me your email if you are interested.

    That is a cool idea; it is awesome that people are out looking for software to help improve the Warmachine experience. Let us know how it goes.

    I have done some iOS development in the past (and still do), and I would be interested in checking it out. If you want some advice/help with the iOS side, I could potentially pitch in.

    Sounds like a nice piece of work though
