I even had a sound package extension that would play StarWars sound dialogue for different die roll results. I never bought thepublic release of NTK for Windows, so this version can't bedistributed. Not that you would be keen to download a 512Kb soundextension when the base package is only 12Kb.This version of DD Dice was written using Steve Weyer's Newton DevelopmentEnvironment for the Newton.DD Dice View Description:---------------------------DD Dice presents six configurable dice. For each die view, thefollowing can be done:    a> To roll a die, just tap on the centre of the die button. The       result will appear above the die button in a large font.    b> To change to base value of a die, tap the diamond in the top       right corner of the die button. A popup will appear from which can be       selected dice of value 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, 50, 100 or Custom.       Note that for the custom die to work, a die value must be       entered into the die modifier input line.    c> Die rolls may be added by tapping the + button in the top right       of the die button. The number of dice rolled will appear in the       lower left corner of the die button.    d> A roll modifier may be added to the final roll by entering a       value into the modifier input line directly below a die button.       Double tapping on the die modifier will make a numerical keypad       appear. The aim of the modifier is to be able to roll a value       such as 1d6+5. A roll playing game player will know what this is.    e> To quickly roll n-times a die, enter the multiplier value into       the input line on the far right of the view. The tap the die       button to be rolled. The die will be rolled n times and the       modifier added for each roll if required. Therefore it is       possible to roll say 12x(1d6+5).       Unless the check box under the multiplier input lineis checked,       the multiplier will be cleared after each roll.    f> To clear an individual die modifier, tap the C button in the       lower right corner of the die button.    g> To clear all the dice, tap the C button to the right of the last       die roller.    h> To roll the stats for a roll playing game character, tap the N       button to the right of the clear button. The resultant six values       are calculated from the best three out of four 4d6 dice rolls.    i> The application can be minimised by tapping the circular button       in the top left of the application view. The view can be       restored by tapping circular button in the center of the       minimised view.    j> To find out who I am, tap the I (info) button to the right of       the application view.    k> The check box does the following:	a> Prevents the multiplier input line from being cleared.	b> Turns off trash can animation effects to allow quick clearing and	   new player rolling.
