Set up dice to print Braille fonts #20

Open dubbsd opened 2 years ago

dubbsd commented 2 years ago

Please add a feature where you can extrude the font I would like to make Braille dice and am not able to at this time. Set it up so that if you add bumpers you can extrude the Font. their are a lot of blind people that like games and this feature would allow for the making of dice easier.

I'll look into this. As a workaround you can change the parent "difference()" to a "union()" under each die module. Let me know if how that works if you give it a try.

I was able to make the change You suggested. And that part worked but in Braille they need to orientate the brail so they know where the bottom is to do so I was going to enclose the braille using braille underline however I am not able to move some of them. For now the picture shows standard numbers.

Thanks Dale

Have you added underscores to all faces in the "d20 underscores" field? I used the following and got underlines under all numbers on each face.

d20 underscores ["", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""]

Currently, underscores are not independently adjustable, but they all turned out fine when I tried it. Maybe send me a screen shot so I can see what you're dealing with.

I will use the regular underscore I was trying to use braille underscore which is different. Thank you so much for your support.

I'm not sure how the underscores differ. Is there a standardized way in braille to present numbers 1-20 with no initial orientation? It could be that the best way to handle numbers would be to create them as symbols.
