Class DoublingDie

java.lang.Object

com.sigio.games.dice.Die

com.sigio.games.dice.DoublingDie

public class DoublingDie
extends Die

Simulates a doubling die as used in backgammon and other games.

A doubling die works much like a regular die except that the value of each face increases exponentially by a power of 2, rather than linearly.

Normally, only 6-faced, cube-shaped doublers are seen in the wild. This class, however, allows you to create one with any number of faces.
