I’ve just recently learned how to work with the ruby language and so  
i’ve been trying to make a little dice rolling program. I was wanting  
to make it to where you could roll several different dice like d20, 10,  
6,ect. I was just wondering how you would go about doing it.

in Gambit, we added a method to Integer  
so you could do stuff like

3.d(2)

Also, see the rest of the dice interface for ideas.
