Dice analyzer machine project
mouser:
As educational as this project was, it seems to me that my intention of building a standalone Raspberry Pi powered ART PROJECT may not come to fruition, just because of the sheer amount of additional work it would take to make a nice user-friendly GUI interface and how hard it would be to make the code truly reliable enough that you could drop in any die and have it analyzed, and due to the slow speed of the RPI version of the code.
So it may be that I need to find another RPI art project idea..

5000+ Rolls of a D20:
Looks like these discount bags-o-dice i bought leave something to be desired in terms of fairness!
mouser:
ps. not enough data to make this useful but if you like pretty charts, here's the heatmap showing the die face transitions for those 5000 rolls:
mouser:
I wanted to check if the initial biased results above indicating that some die faces are significantly less likely to be rolled, still hold up if the experiment is repeated -- or were just random spikes in the data.
As a nice demonstration of the power of statistics, here's a completely INDEPENDENT run of another 5900 rolls of this same die:
Notice the same basic pattern as the first chart in terms of which die faces are more and less likely to come up. Pretty darn cool. :up: :up: :up:

You can check your results via a simple saltwater test:
