Yahtzee changelog

And just when you thought Jeremy1026's take on the classic dice game Yahtzee couldn't get any better, he pulls the rug from right under us. Not only did he make improvements, he made additions to the game that gave it his personal touch, making it entirely his own.

Aside from the Normal game mode, two more game modes have been added for our further enjoyment. Enter Speed Yahtzee and Challenge Yahtzee, which Jeremy explains in detail on his post.

I've been working hard with this to add one new game mode, and make it so there isn't any provisions to playing another game mode that was hidden in v1.51. I added 'Speed Yahtzee', where you have 90 seconds to play through the entire game, when the clock hits 0, gameover, whether your done or not. And I also added 'Challenge Yahtzee' where you are given a spefic roll, and you must match or beat it before time runs out. Well, here is it, good luck and as always, read the readme for more instuctions and information.

Speed YahtzeeChallenge Yahtzee

I've only played with the two new game modes for just a short period of time, but I found both to be more enjoyable than the original game. Maybe it is because of the element of added resistance present in each game modes, the timer for Speed Yahtzee and the condition you need to fulfill for Challenge Yahtzee. Eventhough we have been yanked from the laidback normal gameplay, it is a welcome change.

Jeremy1026's revival of the classic dice game, Yahtzee, has gained immense popularity among gamers. Maybe, that is the driving force behind the constant improvements made to this game. If you don't know yet, yahtzee makes use of five dice that you'd roll (of course) up to three times in hope of making 1 of 13 categories of poker like hands, Full House, Three of a Kind, etc.

Since we're on the subject of poker hands, there have been recent reports of a bug concerning being unable to get a Three of a Kind and a Full House. You'll be happy to know that it has already been fixed in this release. Also, a lot of you are requesting for some sounds to accompany the game. And just to prove that Jeremy1026 value your comments, your wish has been granted.

Changelog:

Fixed error with three of a kind.
Fixed error with full House.
Added some sounds.

Jeremy1026 has released a follow up to his well received version 1.0 of Yahtzee. Yahtzee is a classic dice game played using 5 dice. Each player must roll the dice up to three times in hope of making 1 of 13 categories. Example of categories are Three of a Kind, Full House, Small Straight and of course Yahtzee, which is five of a kind. Here's what he wrote about the game's release at the QJ forums:

Well, I released v1.0 on friday, and I had some positive responses, but also had some requests for the game. I did my best to fulfill some of those requests. I added a highscore, so you can show off to your friends how good you are at rolling computer generated dice. And I added 2 player mode, so if that same friend as previously mentioned thinks that your highscore is fake, you can just beat them and show them who's who.

Changelog

• Added 2 Player mode (1 PSP.)
• Added Highscore.
• Cleaned up code.

To Do

• Add sounds.
• Add secret game mode.

He sends his thanks to yoursam for helping him solve his problem with the Small Straight code.
