Yatzee
Play a game of yatzee on you palm pilot. Implemented in PocketC on an old Palm m505. Just for fun, totally free and the source is public domain.
How does it work?
Tap the dices you want to roll. Tap the roll button roll to roll all dices with a question mark. The application will tell you possible scores. Tap the score grid to enter your result. Have fun!

I forgot to inform you that my math was off the course. I may have just told you, in the Yatzee game, of the idea in mentioning 50 points for a bonus if the left-sided column with all the dice being counted was 125 points or more.
This should be altered to minimum of 100 points instead, as 125 points on the left side is too hard.
Also to be added should be a chart
of the ten highest scores in Yat- zee history, showing the score, and the date it was played, with options to accept or clear them.
But those are still new ideas for you!
Hello again!
Yesterday I sent you the first message which did go through, after two others
were deleted through an invalid code number. On Monday night, as you may or
may not yet know, I just downloaded your software game, "Yatzee" which would
have the "h" in the name if it wasn't for illegal use of a trademarked title.
The application is fast, but it can become better if you intend to upgrade it
sometime in 2009, so here are suggestions for you that you should think about:
In the next version of Yatzee, if you make it, why not change the scoring rules
for some of the categories and sort of break from tradition, where in the col-
umns that, for over 50 years, only counted 1's through 6's, should have all of
its dice counted instead of just certain numbers, but with a catch to it.
For example, there are three 5's, but also a 4 and a 1 which would mean 20 to-
tal points instead of 15. That would mean a minimum of 125 points would be a
requirement to add a bonus of not 35, but 50 points. However, if the selected
number (such as no threes) does not appear at all after three rolls, the total score for that turn becomes zero.
And on the other side of the spectrum, while I mentioned the traditional "total
of all five dice" totals on pairs, 3-of-a-kind and 4-of-a-kind, Yatzee scores
should, depending on which identical number was rolled, can become 50, 60, 70,
80, 90, or 100 points for one through six, respectively.
I have other things to do, but again thanks for the software, and also "Crack
The Code" (which is too noisy!). Bye-bye!
