V2 Syntax (WIP)

The v2 dice syntax is in the works.

Planned support for:

• All v1 features
• Full Testing Suite
  • this will make it safer to add new features
• delayed evaluation
  • separate parsing from evaluation of the roll
  • this enables testing
  • this allows multiple randomness sources to be used
  • this allows configuration values to be used
  • we can avoid doing the "parsing" phase on every message and just do the roll
• configuration context
  • no-sort as default
  • per-channel + per-guild settings
  • per-user: per-channel + per-guild settings
  • quirky dice options
    • arbitrary array of options
    • emoji
    • number aliasing (+/-/0 = 1/-1/0)
  • quirky randomness source options
    • weight the dice high
    • weight the dice low
    • "fair" (ensure no long-runs of high or low rolls)
  • built-in and user defined variables
    • active character sheet (set of variables)
    • evaluated aliases (so you calculate your CHA modifier based on your CHA score)
    • aliased rolls
  • built-in and user-defined functions
    • calculate min value for a roll min(roll)
    • calculate max value for a roll max(roll)
    • calculate expected value ev(roll)
    • aliases with parameters
• new randomness source
  • switch to seed-able PRNG or CSPRNG instead of node's built-in. Node's built-in is fine but doesn't support seeds.
  • re-seed every few minutes with a new true random value
• reported randomness
  • report on which values were selected for which rolls
  • (graphs on the website)
  • (reports per-user?)
