Terry 06-25-2003, 04:04 AM I just got finished programming a yahtzee game. It's my first attempt at using OOP on such a a large script. I think it came out pretty good. The GUI interface was inspired by the hand-held electronic version of the game. I only have IE6,Netscape 7 and Opera 7 so if anyone wants to test it on various browsers let me know how it works.
PS: Opera 7 has a weird bug when you click on "instructions" then close the div. Can't figure it out.. works fine in IE and Netscape.
You can view it online here:

The script file is here:

Spookster 06-25-2003, 04:31 AM Pretty cool. Tried it in IE6 WinXP. :thumbsup:
Spookster 06-25-2003, 04:38 AM Might make the randomness of the dice roll a little more random though. There are times I roll a large straight or a full house several times in a row or get yahtzees real easy.
Spookster 06-25-2003, 04:44 AM By the way I don't think too many people can beat my incredibly high score.
321
All hail me. :D
Terry 06-25-2003, 04:57 AM That's a pretty good score!
I'm not sure how to make it more random. The dice only use the default Math.random but they get a random number six times for the animation effect. The way the dice are displayed looks remarkably similar to the hand-held electronic game I have. The randomness seems to work pretty similar too. Its all the luck of the draw I guess.
Glad you like it. Cheers!

Spookster 06-25-2003, 05:26 AM Just noticed one little bug. When the game is finished and it takes you to the screen to enter your name for the high score....with IE you can store previous text box entries which show up in a drop down below the text box. On that screen the button is in the way of the drop down and causes the drop down to show up further down on the page.

Spookster 06-25-2003, 05:34 AM By the way I have beat my previously incredibly high score. I am yahtzee king. All hail me.
401
:D
p.s. Damn all those people who create these evil games that I become so addicted to. :mad:
Terry 06-25-2003, 06:49 AM You the man!
Thanks for the heads up on the submit page. I found another bug in my php or database. That 401 score you made got posted like ten times... not sure how it happened. I had to erase them and left you with one. I changed databases... hopefully it fixed it. The other database I was using had 3 other tables that might of conflicted with the scores table.

MotherNatrsSon 06-25-2003, 08:44 AM Great job. I looked in IE 5.1.6 aand Netscape7.02 for MAC...

I forgot to post about that bug. It's not your database that is the problem. Once a user submits their score they can hit the back button and submit it again. Might want to modify that process a bit so users can't just keep submitting their score over and over. :D
allida77 06-25-2003, 07:26 PM That is a cool. The only complaint I have is the black background. I played for about 30 mins straight then went to another screen with a white window....I was blinded.
p.s. Damn all those people who create these evil games that I become so addicted to.
I agree...
Terry 06-25-2003, 07:31 PM Thanks, Spookster. I figured that out after I posted the reply. Even when the score is posted you can refresh and it will continue recording. I might use a session to stop it... not sure. php is not my strong point. I'll post my code in the php forums later on and see if I can't get some help.
allida77: I'm going to make different color versions pretty soon! Spent a week and a half on the damn thing and I nearly blinded myself!

Cheaters never prosper. Your're on my list already. I'm gonna whack everyone. :p
A1ien51 06-26-2003, 03:14 AM I am really in coding games with JavaScript, and I must say that is a very nice look for the game.

Spookster 06-26-2003, 03:44 AM 501!!!
Beat that Mr. landon11
Might suggest making the playing area big enough to fit the top 10 scores without having to scroll. Of course I never need to scroll down as I am always on top anyways. But for those that will never be as good as I and are at the bottom of the list I am sure it pains them terribly to have to scroll to see their measly little score.
allida77 06-26-2003, 05:58 PM Ok I admit defeat. Spookster is now officially #1

Which brings up a good point. Never allow offsite form submissions. lol
beetle 06-26-2003, 06:49 PM Nice game!
My best ever real life Yahtzee score is 631. I got the top bonus and 4 Yahtzees :D

It wasn't my fault. allida77 started it. :)
But it is good for us to point out holes in security of the score submissions.
neo2297 12-14-2003, 11:30 PM NO ONE CAN BEAT MY SCORE.........THAT'S INCREDIBLY LOW OF.......0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 etc...Bow down to the low score king!!!!lol
