Short: MUI Yahtzee clone. Author: Richard Townsend Uploader: Richard Townsend Type: game/think Version: 0.03b Architecture: m68k-amigaos Yep another Yahtzee clone, why? well the usual reason I guess, just couldn't find one I liked. I wanted a Workbench game which looked good, was easy to play, supported multiple players... This is a beta version, I intend to refine the code and add the ability to play against the computer in the early part of 1999. If you like it send me an email, if you think it can be improved on, or would like to have some additional features, find any bugs! then send email to the address below. The latest version is available from my website (www.albrich.demon.co.uk) INSTALLATION Un-archive and copy to your hard drive or floppy disk. GETTING STARTED Double click the Yarzee icon this brings up the config window. Enter a players name and click 'Add Player' repeat for the required number of players (up to 9 players) then click 'Start Game.' If no name is entered the default (One,Two...) will be used. Player names are retained between games, you do not need to enter them again as long as you don't quit the program. Simply click 'Add Player' until the required number of players is displayed, then click 'Start Game.' If your using Hires screen mode you may need to use a small font for Yarzee or the game window won't open. If you have this problem run Yarzee, from the config window click on the gadget for MUI prefs and set the window font to a smaller size, save the prefs then enter the number of players and continue as above. REVISION HISTORY Yarzee.lha v0.01b Has a bug in the layout which causes the score card entries not to line up correctly with some fonts. Yarzee02b.lha v0.02b Fixed layout bug. (Not released to Aminet.) Yarzee03b.lha v0.03b You can now enter real names. Yarzee04b.lha v0.04b Players can now exit their turn without rolling the dice 3 times.
