I don\u2019t know what the theme for this Non-Compo was (I think there wasn\u2019t one), but I made a yahtzee clone. Much more than a clone, though, it is far more complicated than Yahtzee, allowing you to score a bunch of different ways.<\/p>\n

\"Dicey<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, there are 2 colors of normal ducks, and a King Duck. So you can score in the Same column if your dice involved are the same color, the Diff column if any different ones are involved, and in the King column if the King is involved. The High column is one you can use if you ever get another column twice, but your second time is a better score than the first. It makes some<\/em> sense when you play it. And to stop a die from being thrown on subsequent rolls, you put the ducks to sleep (as you can see in the picture).<\/p>\n

This was my first actual 3D game! Well, my most finished 3D game (even though it\u2019s not finished). Those dice are pure 3D, hand coded from scratch. Take that! Their rolling is real, not just a visual representation of a random number generator \u2013 they get a random spin on all axes when thrown, and wherever they stop when they land is what they are on. The code to interpret their facing into a number was the tricky part.<\/p>\n

Too bad for you, you can\u2019t play it \u2013 there is no downloadable version at this time.<\/p>\n
