Installation

You can add Dicebag to your own projects using the built-in Asset Library. Once it is added to your project, you need to add an instance of Dicebag to the script you wish to use it in, before the _ready() function:

@onready var dicebag = Dicebag.new()

func _ready():
...

Then you can use Dicebag functions, for example:

var coin = dicebag.flip_coin()

Remember to do a randomize() before you call the scripts if you don't want your results to repeat.

Usage

dicebag.flip_coin()

Flip a coin.
