# Dice Roller & Coin Flip

> Roll any combination of dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20) and flip coins with cryptographic randomness — all in the browser, no tracking.

## What does this tool do?

The Dice Roller & Coin Flip tool has two independent sections:

**Dice Roller:**
- Roll 1–100 dice with 2–100 sides each
- Quick-pick buttons for standard RPG dice: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20
- Shows each individual die result plus the total sum
- Keeps a history of the last 10 rolls with full breakdown

**Coin Flip:**
- Flip a virtual coin and see HEADS or TAILS
- Tracks cumulative statistics: total flips, heads count/%, tails count/%
- Shows a visual history of the last 20 flips

## Randomness

All results use `crypto.getRandomValues` — the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator. This is the same source used for cryptographic keys, not the weaker `Math.random`.

## Supported dice types

- d4 (4-sided)
- d6 (6-sided, standard die)
- d8 (8-sided)
- d10 (10-sided)
- d12 (12-sided)
- d20 (20-sided, used in D&D and tabletop RPGs)
- Any custom die from d2 to d100
