Would there be a quick and dirty way to create a random number widget/addin which could be used for things like simulating a coin flip or rolling a dice? 

Right now, I’m using an external URL to Google Dice but would prefer something which didn’t require learners to jump out of their class boards.

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

Our development team has created just such a plugin.

The plugin is a dice that you can click on to get a random number. You can use this plugin to play some games or randomly select a person or whatever you want.

You can see how it works in this post: https://twitter.com/domagic4people/status/1301814827501924352 

If you want this plugin, you can write me a personal message or reply in this topic :slight_smile:

 

I found the following code which uses a third-party site to do this. I dropped it into an iframe widget and it works but is still a bit kludgy:

<iframe src="https://www.random.org/widgets/integers/iframe.php?title=Roll+The+Dice&amp;buttontxt=Roll&amp;width=160&amp;height=200&amp;border=on&amp;bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&amp;txtcolor=%23777777&amp;altbgcolor=%23CCCCFF&amp;alttxtcolor=%23000000&amp;defaultmin=1&amp;defaultmax=6&amp;fixed=on" frameborder="0" width="160" height="200" scrolling="no" longdesc="https://www.random.org/integers/">
The numbers generated by this widget come from RANDOM.ORG's true random number generator.
</iframe>

I’ll see what I can do… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Hey Everyone 

Now you can easily generate random number by rolling 3D dice inside Miro board

 

Here is the link: https://miro.com/marketplace/dice-roll/

 

Thanks Michael! 

It is still a bit of an ugly solution as you can’t customize the look of the iFrame box and I’ve been unable to get the external widget to use different text labels or colors. 

Perhaps @Boris Borodyansky will find a half-hour of spare time on his hands to whip up a quick bottom bar app for us :joy:

I have (possibly) found a way via https://wheelofnames.com/ and https://www.iframe-generator.com/ :
1. create a dice = a wheel with 6 numbers (or random wheel according to your wishes) on https://wheelofnames.com/ and save it
2. share the wheel and copy the link to the wheel
3. generate an iFrame with this link, e.g. on https://www.iframe-generator.com/
4. integrate this iFrame into your Miro board

Here is an example with 6 numbers:
<iframe src="https://wheelofnames.com/de/dyr-wfk" style="border:0px #ffffff none;" name="myiFrame" scrolling="no" frameborder="1" marginheight="0px" marginwidth="0px" height="400px" width="600px" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I really would like the plugin, too! Already busy building boardgame tables.

Hi @Leo Caves !

The plugin is already available. I will send a link to install it in personal messages.

I’d like to try it, too. Thanks!

Hello Alexander, I would like to try it out for my research session too, thank you very much. 

Hi Alexander, What a nice plugin 🙂 !! I would love to try with my colleagues in the workshop. Thanks !! 

@Alexander Kuznetsov Could you please send me the plugin

 

Hello @Alexander Kuznetsov , could you please me the plugin? Cheers, Christoph

hey @Alexander Kuznetsov, i’d love this plug-in as well! 

Hi Alexander,
It works fine for me, thanks again!

hey @Alexander Kuznetsov, I’m interested in giving this a go - is it possible for you to send to me?

@Alexander Kuznetsov I would love the plugin too! Currently creating a boardgame in Architecture school :)

Hi @Alexander Kuznetsov

Many thanks Diceman!

We’ll feedback on our experiences...

I also need the dice roller desperately! Trying to find something, but nothing works but the one Kiron suggested. The problem of this “dice” is that only the person who rolls it can see the result. Working with children I can´t always trust the numbers they say they get :sweat_smile: ! So, @Boris Borodyansky I will also be terribly grateful for your kind support! 

Alexandra

@Aleksandra Dmitrieva -

A solution (third-party) was provided here: https://community.miro.com/wish-list-32/randomizer-dice-coin-percent-etc-283

@Alexander Kuznetsov I would love to know more about this plugin! I'm working on a project in school learning game design

how to get this plugin?

Hi @Alexander Kuznetsov 

Very interested to use the random number plugin

We are developing a board to host a multi-day workshop and have a collaborative exploration/synthesis frame where we need a bounded random number generator.

I watched the demo video on the twitter link.  When will the “dice” go live?

Many thanks

Leo
