@jamesthomson I waited for this since Widgets started. Now I only need iOS 17 ... My the dice roll more!

@jamesthomson - if there is ever a way to make a fidget spinner for the Vision Pro, Dice by PCalc has to be there first… like toss dice and they just come back, or “roll dice” just right and you get haptic feedback on your wrist, Darts by PCalc, PaperFootball (ask Marco) by PCalc, Toss Sheep by PCalc, PaperShredder by PCalc…

@continuousorbit I could not confirm nor deny that I've been playing with the Vision Pro SDK :)

@jamesthomson I wasn't worried about the bears until you mentioned it! 🐻‍❄️❕

@aj My "I'm not making polar bears dizzy” t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

@jamesthomson Maybe I’m a complete dope, but recently I needed to roll a bunch of D100 and see the individual results, but I could only see the combined total. Did I miss an obvious setting?

(Also—sorry I didn’t lead with this—congrats on the release!)

@Dataless There isn't a great way to do that right now. I was thinking the "breakdown" display would do it, but it's actually showing the two component dice separately, which I think is a bug. I'll make a note!

@jamesthomson looking forward to trying out the iOS 17 widgets! Unfortunately I think the updates broke widgets in iOS 16, they all just show as blank for me now.
Show threadJames ThomsonSep 16, 2023
@mario Try a restart or reinstalling the app, they seem to be working here on iOS 16 for me at least!

@jamesthomson that restored the Home Screen widgets, thanks! The Lock Screen widget is now missing completely, but I’ll see how it all works when I upgrade on Monday. 😁

@mario That one I will look into more, as I see it here too, thanks!

@jamesthomson The tiny widget's cool. Is there a way to reset to 0?
Show threadJames ThomsonSep 18, 2023
@reppep Thanks! The buttons on that one just clear and roll one dice in a single action.
Show threadChris PepperSep 18, 2023
@jamesthomson A way to reset to 0, even from the app, would be welcome. I don’t want to leave a 6 onscreen forever. ;)
Show threadJames ThomsonSep 19, 2023
@reppep Not something I’d considered! I could maybe make it so that the other button could be switched to a clear button, which would do it.

@jamesthomson I wanted to thank James for his years of developing PCalc but the app doesn't have a tip jar feature. Dice does. Buy Dice and give the guy a tip. He deserves it.
