Yahtzee

Originally created in 1956 by Milton Bradley, this dice game gets its roots from other games such as Poker, Yacht, and Generala.I chose to re-create this game becuase it seemed challenging yet comprehendable, I was quickly able to list out the parts of the game that I needed to make and figure out

Next Steps

• Would like to add a winning animation
• Better sound FX
• Perhaps a score preview before clicking so user knows what that score would be
