groovysh Integration

You don't need to create a full-fledged dice roller application from scratch just to play around with Groovy Dice: why not leverage groovysh and groovyConsole? :-)

The following procedure works for both groovysh and groovyConsole:

  1. Type one of the following command lines in the terminal (bash, ms-dos prompt, whatever):
    groovysh -cp <groovydice-jar>
groovyConsole -cp <groovydice-jar>
  2. Evaluate the following Groovy code in the console to initialize the Groovy Dice engine: 
    new net.sf.groovydice.GroovyDice().initialize()

That's it! You are now able to evaluate Groovy Dice expressions in the console. For example:

10.d20.only_if{it.is_even}.view
