Tull's Life Count is a simple utility to track hit points or life points during a game. For some, this can be the 20 life points from Magic the Gathering. For others, tracking character hit points during a role playing session. For still others, tracking character hit points during a True Dungeon adventure. When used for role playing games, Tull's Life Count provides an easy dice rolling feature. The random generator for each die has been verified to be random and evenly distributed between all possibilities. For a 20 sided die, all 20 numbers will occur with equal probability. The utility allows for 4 saved dice rolling setups per character. For those with an Apple Watch, Tull's Life Count will allow the user to update their status on either the watch or the iPhone, with updates automatically moving between both devices almost instantly. Point adjustment is done using the crown/stem of the watch. Dice rolling is only available on the iPhone.
