Answer 2

Hi,

Well, the correct answer is, "Yes, you can."

PowerPoint comes with a complete programming language called visual basic for applications.

I put a link below in the sources for free dice, including dice sounds.

You can animate the dice using custom animations.

The trick is knowing how to come up with random numbers in VBA so that your dice actually work.

Using vba to create a random number. This is how to create random number within a given range

Number =Int ((highest number - (one less than lowest number) *rnd)+lowest

So for a range 10 to 20

Inum=Int (( 20-9) * rnd) +10 or Int (11*rnd)+10

To jump to a random slide between 10 and 20

Sub randjump

Randomize

Inum = Int (11*rnd)+10

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.Vie...

End Sub

Or to make random shapes visible or not substitute

ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(In...

If you're not familiar with VBA, I put a How To link there, too.

I assume you mean Microsoft Powerpoint?  I suggest you contact the Microsoft people and ask about it.  That is the most likely source of help with this sort of question, and if it is possible, they will be able to tell you.  I think that it is possible, because I have seen something similar to that in a PP presentation I attended some time ago.  Also, you might want to repost this question in one of the computer or techie categories.  Choose the category yourself rather than letting the Y!A system choose the category for you.  I think your question got posted in Board Games because of the word "dice" in your question, but this isn't really the best category to get the help you need.  Best of luck with it.
