The title says it all. The JavaScript Animated D6 Dice Roller was previously made available under open source licenses, but has now been released to the public domain via a CC0 Public Domain Dedication.

Okay, you have to install it and write code that makes calls to it, so look for the links to the tutorial and documentation on the download page. Continue reading →

Phantom’s Bane Online

The Eposic text mini-adventure Phantom’s Bane is back online as part of the Eposic archive. I’m not planning to expand or improve the game, but you’re welcome to leave comments here about it if you like.

Phantom’s Bane is coded entirely with HTML and JavaScript (so make sure you have JavaScript turned on). It uses iframes for asynchronous remote server access as needed. (All of the code could have been stuffed into one huge file, but it seemed better to break it out into manageable modules.)

The use of cookies allows you to save a game in progress. Since four different domains all are hosted on the Eposic web server, you can actually save up to four different characters, one per domain name, if you want. The links to the different domains are listed on the first page of the documentation. If you save the game and want to play it again later, be sure to visit the game on the same domain as the one you were on when you saved it.
