Hello All,

A colleague of mine started working with R and out of curiosity I did some research on the language. Very nice. In my opinion this is one of the best languages I've found for getting tasks I'm interested in done. I wrote this simple die roller and was curious to know if it is R enough.

##############################################################################
#
# Input:
#   die_size - 4, 6, 8, 10, 20
#   number_of_dice - How many dice to roll
#   number_of_rolls - How many times to roll the dice
#
# Output:
#    rolls - The array holding the values of the dice
#
##############################################################################
#
function(die_size, number_of_dice, number_of_rolls)
{
        rolls <- array(0, dim=c(number_of_rolls, number_of_dice))
        
        for (i in 1:number_of_rolls)
        {
                rolls[i,] <- sample(die_size, number_of_dice, replace=TRUE)
        }
        
        return(rolls)
}

Any thoughts on this function? Is there a better way of doing it in R? Can you tell I used to play AD&D?

Thanks,
Joe
