use Catalyst's 3D engine to actually draw a real cube
or draw random pictures of dice rotating and loop them really fast

I'd like to make my board game, Monopoly, to have a rolling effect, i'd really like to make it so the dice looks like it actualy being somewhat tossed but im not sure how to do this only method i know is to do a couple randints and in between each one put picture, or do it in a for loop for like so many times. but how could i make it look really good |

There is a way to do this dice thing, me and my partner just used it in our game. I am not going to post the code here, see if you could get it yourself, if you are really having trouble, email me. The idea: randint (1,6) delay for x amount of time, increase x draw the dice View.Update put this in a loop or a for loop, this will make the dice roll fast, then it will slowdown and finally stop. Take the value of the last dice drawn as your resulted value. |

hey, thats a preaty good idea... if you through in some "in-between" images (showing edge of the dice) it should look good. |
