Can Zillions play dice games?
Yes. Though there is no direct support for dice per se, Zillions supports randomness through the use of a hidden, “random player” who chooses between his moves at random. One of the Zillions games provided on the CD-ROM, Senat, is a backgammon-like game where moves are determined via a die roll. The Zillions CD includes bitmaps for standard dice. Multiple dice can theoretically be achieved through successive turns of the random player. Zillions doesn’t support math/arithmetic in rules files, so this will limit what you can do with the results of dice rolls. For example, a game like Yahtzee wouldn’t work.
