Yahtzee
« on: October 14, 2025, 09:44:23 am »
Yahtzee (for Thaddy). :)

This is a dice game that is quite complicated; with lots of strategy involved.

The game is played over 13 hands, so the player needs to prioritse how they score each hand - which can be tricky - and often "bites" you towards the end of the match. ;)

The computer player isn't very good; but it tries hard.  O:-)

enjoy,

Due to censorship, I changed this to "Nelly the Elephant". Keeps the message clear.

I am posting a new version of the project.

The previous version (I believe) had a problem with the scaling of the dice (their paintbox ended up 60px high, when I wanted it 100px); and the stringgrid's last line was cut off (forcing you to scroll to see it).

The new version also has its own icon. :)

I was tempted to add a command line parameter to allow the "welcome" dialog to be skipped, but decided that people can easily comment out the call to the weclome, if they desire.

cheers
