Table Top Assistant

November 18th, 2009

This is just a placeholder for what will become the Table Top Assistant. It is a simple program to manage player initiative and health in table top games. It is currently in heavy alpha, but will run on GNU/Linux (current), Microsoft Windows (current, kinda), and Apple OS X (future, but quite possible).

Binaries are avaiable from dropbox (source) (available under the terms of the GPLv3). Microsoft Windows users will need to download GTK Sharp for windows. GNU/Linux users will need cairo-sharp (libmono-cairo2.0-cil) and its dependencies (libgtk2.0-cil). It should run on a Mac, but I have no idea how to do this. Its something involving mono.

To use:

  • Left click decreases health. Right click increases it.
  • Initiative can be rolled for the whole party, one by one, or entered manually
  • Pressing Play will sort the combatants

Current bugs include:

  • Buggy text drawing with less than 4 combatants
  • Drawing text on Microsoft Windows is less than crisp
  • Saving/loading is not supported
  • Pause does nothing. Other functionality which will later be added will be able to be paused.
  • No documentation
