# Yahtzee v1.3 - By Paul Marks #

Platform: TI-83 Plus MirageOS



Description:
This is a clone of Yahtzee for your Calculator.  If you've been living in a
hole and don't know how to play Yahtzee, then go look it up somewhere.



Directions:
1. Install MirageOS, if you haven't done so already
2. Send Yahtzee to the calculator
3. Play it



Keys:

*Clear:		Exit
*2nd:		Roll The Dice
*F1-F5:		Hold the dice.  Held dice will not be rolled.
*Alpha:		Save the currently highlighted score
*Arrows:	Move the pointer around the scorecard

I tried to arrange the keys so that the calculator can be placed in your
right hand and played with only your right thumb.


Other Stuff:
The bar in the center of the screen shows how many rolls you have remaining
on the current turn.  

The Detached box with the plus sign in it is the bonus for the left side of
the score card.  It counts down from 63 points.  If you get 63 or more points
in the Aces-Sixes section, you will be awarded 35 extra points, and the plus
changes into a smiley face.

	prevent accidental scoring.  Thanks to "Christiaan" for the
