jQuery dice plugin

Very simple plugin which allows to display a dice, click on it and retrieve a random number (between 1 and 6, of course.)

The dice glyphs can be replaced.

Usage

As with all jQuery Plugins, you need to insert the plugin's javscript source after jQuery itself. Additonally, the dice.gif must be copied to a web-reachable path.

To create a dice and get it's value you need an empty div container and a callback function that expects one argument. Than anywhere in your Javascript Code you can just call:

$('#diceContainer').dice({   'glyphSrc': '/path/to/dice.gif',   'callback': callbackFunction }); 

The available configuration options are:

• background: CSS-readable color value, defaults to #ffffff.
• callback: Callback function, called on value change. Defaults to null.
• glyphSize: Size of a single glyph (Glyphs have to be squares). Defaults to 40.
• glyphSrc: Source of glyph image, contains glyphs for all 6 sides of the dice. Defaults to glyph.gif.
• juggleTimeout: Duration of the juggling animation in milliseconds. Defaults to 300.
• number: Initial number, defaults to 1.
• selectGlyph: Function which is called to change the current glyph. See Custom Glyphs.

Custom Glyphs

This plugin has been designed to allow custom dice glyphs. To replace the default set with your own, you simply need to create an image containing six squares in the following layout:

1 | 2 | 3 --------- 6 | 5 | 4 

If your glyphs are larger than 40 * 40 pixels, you need to adjust the glyphSize option to your chosen size, otherwise you only need to set glyphSrc to your new glyph image.

In the unlikely event that you cannot or don't want to chose the above order, you also need to provide a selectGlyph-function of the following signature:

void selectGlyph(unsinged int number); 

This function will be called whenever a new glyph is to be selected and is responsible for changing the CSS background-position to the new number's position in the glyph set. To access the dice container, the variable m_this can be used as jQuery context.
