My latest creative effort:  http://www.usscontinuum.com

I was thinking about the upcoming Nerd Invasion here in Pensacola and how the USS Continuum is planning to put on a Starfleet Battles demo.

I wanted to be able to create a digital dice program that was small in size and could be easily installed on Windows XP, Vista and 7. The only problem is I don’t know how to program.

After two to three hours of exploring the internet, working with Visual Basic 2008 Express and Photoshop I managed to put together a program that will roll 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 20 sided dice for you digitally. It comes with an installer and puts an icon on your desktop to launch the installed application.

Because I am a member of the USS Continuum and the upcoming event was the inspirational spark I gave the application a USS Continuum theme.

For somebody that hasn’t tried programming, beyond a little HTML, since the days of the Commodore 64 I think I did pretty good.

If you download the application leave a comment telling me what you like, don’t like about it. Is there something you would like to see changed?

You can download the installer by clicking here. If you don’t have the Microsoft .Net Framework installed you can get it here.
