This script in nanDECK takes a sequence (1st line), randomize it (the N flag) and print the 1st element (the 2nd line sets a font and the 3rd print the element):

n[a]=1|2|3|4|5|6
font=arial,128,,#000000
text=1,[a],0,0,100%,100%

Each time the script is validated and build, it gives you a random element from the sequence.

If one need the same, but with images, this is the script (the image files must be in the same folder with the script):

n[a]=orc.png|ogre.png|goblin.png|troll.png|demon.png|dragon.png
image=1,[a],0,0,100%,100%,0,P

But I want a website where I just upload or link my 6 images and it builds the dice. Better yet, it’s deep linked so I can tweak or use same url to build same dice again.

I used to have a custom dice website years ago.

In the url parameters you could link to the images, state how many copies, etc.

Is there a need/desire for this capability again? I can add updated features like shaking phone rolls the dice etc.

This amounts to using your OWN storage... Not very good TBH.

This on the other hand sounds GREAT! Provide one PARAMETER which is URL and you can specify: URL="https://www.questccg.com/dice_images/" and then Face1="test1/Face1" Face2="test1/Face2", etc.

You could limit the FILES to PNGs this way you can have TRANSPARENCY.

Exactly as I explained above or similar. Definitely a smart idea!

This I don't know. But something non-intrusive like a webpage as opposed to an APP that I MUST download and INSTALL on my phone. Grrr... I hate apps... Too many of them and they want access to all my contacts, phone numbers, location, credit cards, etc. RIDICULOUS.

On the other hand a very simple WEBPAGE ... That could be reasonable IMO. But I don't know if there is a NEED for it or not. That's my 5 cents!
