Facebook Messenger Application / Graphics

[Scaremonger]

Hi,

I'm creating my first Facebook Messenger App and to test out it's capabilities I thought I'd try a simple Dice game!

I don't think I will actually release this bot; but if any of you guys have any advice on the best way to show the dice graphically, then I'm open to suggestions and would appreciate any input.

Currently I have a simple regex to extract a dice roll from {<count> "D" <faces>} (For example 3D6, 2D8 etc) which rolls the dice and currently returns a string:

3D6 = (D6=3, D6=1, D6=2) total 6

What I really would like is to display the dice as images inline with the text, but whatever works would be acceptable

It doesn't seem possible to create new Emoji's and displaying individual pictures seems to put them underneath each other.

Any idea?

Cheers,
Si...

Without knowing much about Facebook Messenger App programming:

So you are able to include your own images? But if you add multiple, they got added beneath each other?

Why not create a image on the fly - this image contains all the images you want to put side-by-side). Similar to the counter scripts 20 years ago.
