 +====Dice Rolls====
 +In addition to the random number function, Bauxite also supports a dice notation similar to that of Dungeons & Dragons. Specifically, **XdY**, where "X" is the number of dice to roll and "Y" is how many sides the dice have.

 +**Examples:**
 +<code bauxite>
 +$result = 1d6;
 +</code>
 +Gives the result of rolling one six-sided die.

 +<code bauxite>
 +$result = 2d8 + 5;

-In the example below, a copy of **$items** is made using the "Duplicate" function. Since it's now a unique copy of the [[codex]], if the "count" key is changed to 10 for **$items_copy**, the original **$items** [[codex]] will remain unchanged. Therefore, the first "print" statement will display 5, while the second "print" statement will display 10.+In the example below, a copy of **$items** is made using the "Duplicate" function.
