Ramapani Dice | cast the I Ching in one throw

Ramapani Dice throws six eight-sided dice across a felt tray, one for each line of a hexagram, and reads them from the bottom up. Each die gives a line: whole or broken, settled or moving. The six together make one of the sixty-four figures of the Book of Changes, and any moving lines show the figure it is becoming.

Casting with coins takes eighteen tosses: three coins, six times. One eight-sided die per line does the same work in a single throw, and with the table the app uses, the odds are exactly those of the coins: a moving line one time in eight on each side, a settled line three times in eight. Throw all six at once, or one line at a time from the bottom up, as the coins are thrown, for a slower cast.

The dice give the figure; Ramapaniching reads it. "Read it in Ramapaniching" carries the roll straight across, ready for the question. The Rolls tab keeps the last fifty on this device, to show again or read again, and a roll can be shared as a link that lands on the tray exactly as it fell.
