And does anyone have any ideas for nifty PDA utilities?

Name something... a GM aid (but be specific as to what you want it to do) or a game (again, specifically WHAT game?) or even just a utility, name it, I want to program something but as usual have no clue what to program.

Much like drawing, I can't ever get started, but I can actually do it once I DO get started fairly readilly. That reminds me... I need to find someone willing to harass me to draw or practice my guitar every day. And literally, I mean harass me like a teacher, but I'll learn on my own. :-)

Hrm... I think I can accomplish this.

I might basterdize your initial idea into something easier to compute however, since I'm a statistics nut with too many formulas in my head. :-)

Specifically, you'll simply give each possible result a 'weight' (1, 2, 3, etc) for how many times it could appear, the utility will automatically total all these numbers and deal with the math so you don't even have to say if it's a D2 or D1000.

Second, I'll set it up so an individual slot can actually be a reference to another table, so you can do things like 3d6 with a little work and wasted space.

Third, I could see adding support for making a given result from a table actually set more than one result string, and have the program display the result strings in numeric order.

Table #1 Entry #1

Weight 4 Results {Table#2} Sword {Table#3}

Would that fit your description okay?
