Title
YAKzee - Windows Dice Game
Description
One of my fondest memories as a child is the countless hours that my mother and I spent playing Yahtzee. She still has many of our old score sheets. When my parents finally entered the digital age, she asked me to 'put' Yahtzee on her new computer. At the time, my search for 'Yahtzee' yielded nothing, I was so frustrated that I set out to make my own version for her. After I was complete, I showed some friends from work and asked for their feedback of the game. One of my friends told me that I should make it into a shareware game.
While researching shareware rules and etiquette, I realized that any exact replica of Yahtzee would be a copyright infringement and that many programmers simply alter the game content and change the name to something similar. A 'new' search for Yahtzee, using this new knowledge finally turned up a few games. Apparently, my initial search was not very thorough.
A few months later, Mom's Yahtzee game emerged as YAKzee. A few years later, and several improvements along the way, this is where I am at. I have received a fair amount of positive feedback. My intention is to make it so that two users can play via the internet, but that's this years project. When that's complete, I will finally be able to play YAKzee with mom from 1200 miles away. If you are curious.. of course Mom likes it, at least that is what she tells me.
