Welcome to the Dicey Guildkeeper

In this game, you act as a dicey guildkeeper and need to decide the party's formation for the quest. Thinking is too tiresome and these adventurers will certainly be fine, so why not throw some dice to decide which line the adventurers should stand in.

Video Tutorial

Instructions

The dice face determines their formation in the quest, so lock them in for the position you want. (shield, sword, bow, healer)

Dicey Guildkeeper is played primarily with the left-click on the mouse.

Click and drag from the bag to draw dice.

Roll the dice by clicking on the roll button.

Right click on dice to lock them. This prevents them from being rolled when the roll button is clicked.

Only locked dice will go on the quest so if you don't want some dice to go, don't lock them (it may be strategic to exclude some dice from battle!)

You can decide to add dice to the pot later if you still have rolls left. If you do this, you must perform a roll if you want to lock the dice. (In this picture, the blue dice is not locked and will not go on the battle. This is good because it only has 1 health, and will probably be destroyed on the front-line)

Formations

Adventurers use a 4 line formation. The formation is determined at the start of the battled, based on the dice faces and does not change thereafter. Shields in the front, then Swords, then Bows, then Healers. The enemy will always attack the front line, and in the order from left-to-right.

Notes

• Linux fonts may be missing. The Box to the right of the hearts is meant to be an upside down dagger intended to indicate attack
• Linux audio is delayed from when it should start by about a whole second
• The game may unexpectedly crash, if it does please let me know.

Please note that the code here is spaghetti and I don't plan on fixing this version, rather I plan on re-writing it.
