An important aspect of CrystalBall and CrystalBall Lite is the ability to roll on tables of data to generate other random information or look up information on a table.  Those of you familiar with CrystalBall v3.1 will know of the Treasure and Name Generators.  Those generators are based on some very specific code that only allows you to generate those particular types of information.  For CB4.0 and CBLite we wanted something that was more generic in its design, so that the end-user could generate any type of information that they wanted.

The need for a Generic Generator became apparent after we released the ability to ROLL on TABLES with a dice roll.  Suddenly there was great excitement to try to reproduce the Treasure tables from D&D.  But as people began to use the dice roller to try to construct the tables they began to run into issues.

• New Colored Dice Buttons
• New Button Styles including:
  • 4 Standard Buttons
  • Display Button
  • Custom Picture Button
  • Counter Button
• New Easier Drag and Drop (no need to hold down a key to move your dice around anymore.)
• New "Clear Button" option for dice buttons.

We are pleased to announce the release of the long anticipated 2.0 release of CrystalBall Lite.  This new version is the culmination of many months of effort to bring the best gaming dice roller / player aid to the Macintosh and Windows community.  CBLite boasts the most advanced and versatile dice roller on the planet.

We are very appreciative the the CrystalBall community who has spent hours testing and helping refine CBLite 2.0 into what it is today.  Their input and requests have pushed CBLite to incredible new levels.  It is anticipated that future releases will happen more often thanks to the new self-updating features of CBLite 2.0.

We literally believe if you will give CBLite a try at your gaming table, you will not want to game ever again without it.  Best of all we give you a chance to demo it before you purchase a license.  Enjoy!!!
