- load properly. All picture files and brushes should be in the subdirectory
- "Pictures" and sound files in the "Sounds" subdirectory.

- All files ending in .br
-
- Place all other files in the root directory (Arts:).
-
- At the setup screen you may choose from 1 to 4 players. If you choose
- to use the players' own names (up to 8 characters), you must hit return after inputing
- each name. If no names are entered, the program defaults to "Player 1" etc.
- The speed option changes how fast the dice are rolled during the game.
- On the main game screen there are icons to roll the dice (the hand),
- view your scorecard (the magnifying glass) or end your turn and go to the
- scorecard to input your results (the pencil). On each turn, the player
- gets up to three rolls of the dice. Choose which dice to reroll by
- clicking on the dice and toggling the roll/keep buttons.
- At the scorecard, input your score by clicking on the category you
- wish to fill. If you change your mind, the erase button will cancel your
- input. If your final dice cannot be used in any of the remaining categories,
- choose one you wish to forfeit and a "0" will be entered. Hit the DONE
- button to end your turn and return to the main screen. The game ends when
- all categories are filled.
-
- The Categories
- --------------
-
- Aces - The total of the ones in your final roll (Max 5 pts)
- Twos - The total of the twos in your final roll (Max 10 pts)
- Threes, Fours, Fives and Sixes work the same way as aces and twos.
- If these six categories total 63 or greater (three of each), you get
- 35 bonus points.
-
- Three of a kind - The total of the 5 dice if at least 3 are alike
- Four of a kind - The total of the 5 dice if at least 4 are alike
- Full House - 3 of a kind plus 2 of a kind (25 points)
- Small Straight - 4 in a row (1-2-3-4) (2-3-4-5) (3-4-5-6) (30 pts)
- Large Straight - 5 in a row (1-2-3-4-5) (2-3-4-5-6) (40 pts)
- Dicey - 5 of a kind (50 pts)
- chance - Total of the 5 dice (save this until your really stuck)
-
- If you get a second dicey and the dicey category does not have a "0"
- in it, it is worth an extra 100 pts. If the dicey is 5 fours etc. and that
- category is open, the second dicey should be used there. If the category
- is filled, you may use the dicey to fill Full House, Small Straight, or
- Large Straight and get the normal points for those categories. You also can
- always use it in 3 or 4 of a kind.
-
- Enjoy the game!
