v2.1.0 - A small aesthetic update!

You can drag the dice now.

One of the main reasons I made this jam game was to play with dice. I usually only work with 2d web tech, and dice are pretty fundamentally three dimensional constructs. But, I like board games and dice so I wanted to build my best approximation.

To start, I cribbed some ideas for 2d dice from a couple cool indie games:

• Dice Tribes: Ambitions
• Axes & Acres
• Dungeons of Aether

These games all have different tricks for making a roll of dice feel good without a third dimension. The main trick seems to be JUICE. The specific visual implementation I ended up with for Dice Rolling Submarine Game hews most closely to Axes & Acres.

Originally, to select an action you had to click on a die and then click on an action slot. This worked fine and was quick to implement. So, I went with that. Game jams, baby!

However, it has always bugged me a tiny bit. You should be able to drag dice around!!!

At long last, I have finally gotten around to making the dice draggable instead of clickable. I can finally rest. ⚓️
