			             v1.8
             		       By Chris Carlson

If you like dice games then Yahtzee is the perfect game for you.
Although It's just around 7000 bytes what it can do will make up 
for it.  This Yahtzee has several features that most don't have.
The first of these is the fact that it's available for both the TI-82 
and TI-83 calculators.  Second it has a totally real-time interface, 
allowing for greater ease of use.  Third, it has a "Lie Detector." This
checks to see if you have what you say you have.  For example, if you
only have 4 of a kind, and you try to pass it off as a yahtzee, then it
 will simply remind you that you need to have 5 of a kind to get a
yahtzee.  Fourth, it has an Auto Pause feature.  Because this is 
primarily a real-time code, if left unchecked, it will, in time, drain
the batteries.  The Auto Pause feature will wait about 1 minute from
your last movement, then pause the game.  To get out of pause, just
press enter.  Time may differ, due to battery freshness.  The fifth
feature is the Auto Finish feature.  If you have no more options
left, then it will automatically display your score and ask you if you
want to play again or just quit.

WARNING:  The 82 version should not be run on a 83.  Because of Font 
differences this will cause output malfunctions.  The code for the 82
was specifically customized for the 82.

INTERFACE LEGEND:
-To maneuver the "<" just use the arrow keys.  The "<" is the game's
 Cursor.
-To reroll the Dice, press Clear.
-To Hold a number, position the "<" to the right of the number you wish 
 to hold and press enter.  You will see a _ under the number(s) you 
 have on hold.
-To select an option, position the "<" to the right of the option you
 want and Press enter.  The Calculator will then use its Lie Detector
 feature to see if your hand is an applicable one.  If by chance it is
 not then it will remind you what the qualifications are for that 
 option and return you to the main interface.
-To pause the game press the 2nd button.  To unpause the game
 press ENTER.
-To quit or begin a new game press the MODE key.  You can then choose
 to Begin a new game, quit, or go back to the one in which you are
 currently playing.  If you stay in MODE for more than 30 seconds the
 game will automatically quit itself.


Do you know how to play?  If not read this!

The objective of this game is to fill all your options to get the
highest score possible.  You must use a little bit of stragety, luck,
and skill to perform well in this game.  But don't feel bad if you get
a low score because even the pro's can get bad hands. There are 13
options to fill in a game.  They are: One's, Two's, Three's, Four's,
Five's, Six's, 3 of a kind's, 4 of a kind's, Full House's,
Small Straight's, Large Straight's, Yahtzee's, and Chance.

     The One's, Two's, Three's, Four's, Five's, and Six's.
	When you select one of these options the calculator will
	add up the total of that specified number in that hand. 
	For example if you have a hand of 4 6 2 3 2 and you choose 
	the two's option it will put a 4 in that space. (There are
	two two's in the hand)  

     The 3 of a kind's and 4 of a kind's.
	When you select one of these options the calculator will check
	to see if you have either 3 of a kind or 4 of a kind depending
	on what option you choose.  For example if you have a hand of
	6 5 1 5 5 and you choose 3 of a kind the calculator will add up
	all the numbers and give you the number of points in which it
	adds up to because you have three five's.

     The Full House.
	When you choose this option the calculator checks to see if you
	have 3 of a kind and another 2 of a kind.  If you do then you
	will get 25 points.  For example if you have a hand of
	1 4 4 1 1 then since you have Three 1's and two 4's the
	calculator will give you 25 points.

     The Small and Large Straight's.
	This is when you have a sequence of numbers.  For a Small
	Straight you must have four numbers in sequential order.  For a
	Large Straight you must have five numbers in sequential order.
	For example if you have a hand of 5 6 4 3 1 then you have a
	Small Straight.  Replace the 1 with a 2 and you have a Large
	straight.  They don't have to Appear in sequencial order to be
	a straight.  Small Straights are worth 30 points and Large
	Straights are worth 40 points.

     YAHTZEE
	This is when you have 5 equal numbers.  It is customary to
	scream "YAHTZEE!" when you get one.  In fact, one of the beta
	testers lost his voice doing this.  For example you have a
	YAHTZEE if you have a hand of 1 1 1 1 1 or 5 5 5 5 5 or some
	other number.  It doesn't matter as long as all five numbers
	are the same.  This is the only option that allows you to get
	more than one.  For the first yahtzee you get 50 points.  For
	every one after that you get 100 points.  Don't get your hopes
	up though, because getting a Yahtzee is rare.

     Chance
	This has no qualifications at all.  All it does is add up your
	hand and puts it in the chance option.  You can only use it
	once so be careful.

     Scratch
	This isn't an option to be filled but a way of filling an 
	option.  With this you can put a zero in an option if you don't
	want to use your hand for something else.  For example if you
	have a hand of 1 2 3 4 6, your Small Straight is already used
	up, and all you have left open is your Fives option then you
	can put a zero in something instead of having to use it for
	something you don't want.  There also may be a time when
	Scratching something is necessary to continue the game.
	To do this refer to the Interface Legend above.

     Rolls
	You get three rolls per round.  The calculator automatically
	rolls the first roll of every round.  Once you've rolled your
	third roll the calculator will automatically put you in the
	options box allowing you to choose an option.  You don't need
	to be on your third roll to fill an option.  To do this refer
	to the Interface Legend above.  

Now that you have a basic understanding of Yahtzee, play the game.
