Game works, but short on features – Yatzy Addict Review

Unlike several other free Yahtzee apps, this one does keep correct score, and properly scores multiple Yahtzees, so that is a *major* plus, and the reason this is my choice of Yahtzee games. And I haven't noticed that the game seems rigged; I seem to get lucky rolls at roughly the same rate early and late in the game and at a similar enough rate to the computer that it seems fair to me. But there is room for improvement. One annoying thing is it scores a tie as a loss. No... a tie is a tie! If you play against the computer, it sometimes makes preposterous choices (scoring four 6's and a 2 as a Chance when the 6's haven't been scored yet, or scoring two 1's, two 3's, and a 6 as 6's when 3's or 1's are also available) so it's fairly easy to beat the computer. The computer always picks whatever scores the highest for that particular roll. In the first example: 26 scores better than 24, never mind that an extra 6 makes it a lot easier to get the 35 point bonus but getting a decent score on Chance is practically a guarantee. It rarely takes into account that every slot must eventually be filled. (It does seem to have a minimum score for each slot in the early rounds: if you get four 2s and a 3 on round 1, it will score that as 2's and not 4 of a kind.) Other (probably easier to code) changes I would like to see: 1) Be able to scroll to the computer's score sheet during my turn. If it's Round 12 and I'm losing 185-195 and the computer only has 1s and Yatzy left to score and is in no danger of getting the 35 point bonus, I will play it more conservatively than if it is the same score and the computer has Chance and a Small Straight left to score. But if I can't remember what the computer has left, unlike in a real game, I have to guess. 2) Keep a record of my wins, losses, average/high/low scores.
