Simple command-line dice roller for linux. I made this to play D&D so have fun lol

Run the commands:

$ make

$ make install

$ make clean

This will compile the program, copy it into $BINDIR (defaults to /usr/local/bin, so change in makefile if you want it elsewhere), then remove the executale from the working directory.

I am new to makefiles, so let me know if this one is set up poorly

syntax:

roll (die type) (number of dice) (+|-) (intege)

(die type) is an integer n, and will result in a number 1-n

(number of dice) requires a (die type), and is an integer n. It will result in the preceding (die type) being rolled n times; the results will displayed individually and summed.

<+|-> can be either + or -, and will add the succeeding (integer) to the sum displayed.

example input:

$ roll 3 4

3 + 2 + 4 =

9

This rolled 3 d4 and displayed the sum

$ roll 20 + 5

14 + 5 =

19

This rolled a d20 and added 5, displaying the sum

These different inputs can be combined, but only one input of each type will be accepted. For example, "roll 20 + 9 - 3" will not work

Doing "roll (num) +" with no (integer) will crash the program
