Dicey: Real Dice Cup App

About

I wanted to play a board game with my daughter but had no dice, so I looked for a dice app. Almost every one just generates a random number and animates a roll on top — even the "shake" ones only detect that you shook, not which way. So I built one where the result is whatever the physics simulation actually produces: the dice tumble, hit the walls, and wherever they land is the roll. No predetermined number. I'm an embedded engineer, not a game dev, so Unity physics fought me hard...
