Im very new to powerpoint, but not to computer programs in general. What im doing is creating a board game in powerpoint in which each slide moves the game piece 1 space.



Anyways, im trying to figure out how to make a simulation of a 'dice roll'. Im very capable of making a graphic in photoshop but i need to know how to set up a system in PP.

Is there perhaps a way to make a script type object that 'randomly chooses 1 of 6 graphics'.

Ill make a graphic for each roll of of the die, and 1-6 are the only possible outcomes. so when i push the roll button itll choose at random 1 of the 6 images?

or any other solutions you can think of to achieve the same outcome?

You can do this by creating 6 slides each with a different die animation and a further slide with a button to run a macro. The six die slides should have on click transition OFF and a button to get back to the first slide.

Assuming the die slides are # 2 - 7

Sub chooseMe()
Dim choice As Integer
Randomize
choice = (Rnd * 6) + 1
SlideShowWindows(1).View.GotoSlide (choice + 1), msoTrue
End Sub

If you don't know how to use a macro see here
