The object of the game is to be the first to score 10,000 points.
In order to gain points, the player must roll the dice and the points 
will be tallied as follows:

  Number rolled on die/dice	|    points earned by die/dice
________________________________|_______________________________
                                | 
		1               |            100
	     (2)1's		| 	     200
				|
		5		|	      50
	     (2)5's		|	     100
				|
	     (3)1's		|	    1000
	     (4)1's		|	    2000
	     (5)1's		|	    4000
	     (6)1's		|	    8000
				|
		2		|	       0
	     (2)2's		|	       0
	     (3)2's		|	     200
	     (4)2's		|	     400
	     (5)2's		|	     800
	     (6)2's		|	    1600
				|
		3		|	       0
	     (2)3's		|	       0
	     (3)3's		|	     300
	     (4)3's		|            600
	     (5)3's		|	    1200
	     (6)3's		|	    2400
				|
and so on, where one or two of the same die (except a one or five)
earns no points.  Three of a kind (except 1's) earns the number 
times 100, and each additional die (including 1's) doubles the
amount earned.

Combinations of dice (in one roll; cannot "save" dice for more points,
all dice that earn no points must be rolled again unless the player 
chooses to end the turn)

After each roll, the player may continue rolling for more points provided
the roll earned points.  If the roll earned no points, the player loses all
previous points from that turn , and it is the next player's turn.  Thus,
the turn ends when the roll earns no points, or the player decides to end
the turn in order to keep previously earned points.


Happy rolling!

To start just run this program from windows, form the RUN command, or create an
icon for the game and run by clicking on the icon.

The game will then ask for the number of players, from 1 to 4, and then the 
game starts, and it is player one's turn.

choose the dice that scores by clicking on it, this well bring the dice down to
the hold, or scoring position. Remmember that the scoring die number is the white
number ontop of the 3d dice. And once the score butten is press, all the dice
in the hold area are scored and remain that way until all the dice are score, or
until the player ends the turn.

After you clicked the dice you want to score, click on the score roll button to
receive the score in the temp. score section. To keep the score, you must either
end the turn, by clicking on the end turn butten, or roll again, by clicking the 
roll button. if you roll again, and get no score from it, all the temp score is 
lost and it is the next players turn.

This is done until the game is won, by reaching the score of 10,000.
