Moonlight Coding
As a programmer, I will often need a password for a service account. A service account being an account that a computer program uses, and not a human. As such, the password can be long, and does not exactly need to be type-able.
I tried looking online for a random password generator, and none of them, I felt, were up to the task of creating passwords for my service accounts.
This post builds on Rolling the Dice, using the code from there.
Sometimes, as a DM/GM, I want to be able to roll “biased” dice. Sometimes biased heavier, sometimes biased lighter.
How do we go about making a weighted die programmatically?
Be me, someone whom like to play pen-and-paper RPGs, like Dungeons & Dragons or GURPS.
Also, be me, avid computer programmer.
I’ve created dice rolling programs in quite a few languages, C#, Java, and a few others.
Being a web programmer, my strongest language is PHP. I also needed to learn the workings of Symfony Console, a PHP package that let’s you run PHP applications in the console.
