As a hobby I muck around with programming. Nothing fantastic, but enough to keep my mind active. Anything here will be practical, and also a learning exercises.
Use these applications at your own risk. I know I do!
Dice Roller
This little program allows you to roll dice using a calculator-ish interface. My aim was to create a dice roller I could use while running role-playing games. It was written in VB6 and is deployed using an .msi.
This is a freeware application, written for Windows 2000 or higher. http://www.users.on.net/~typhoon.andrew/software/DiceRoller.msi
