With 11 dice, a straight is nothing special. Thanks for stopping by, I'll review your app shortly. That's correct, the version I learned doesn't include straights.

It can adapt to nearly any scoring variant (well, any that I knew about when I wrote it) as well as play with any number of players. I would love to have someone review it, since I think it addresses a common complaint that many people have about the other Farkle games - namely that it's missing some rule that they are used to and/or it doesn't score things the same way they are used to. http://www.baurhome.net/software/indexdice/index.html A comment about the code, however... I'll admit that mine is a lot more complicated. :-) I'm not sure there's any way around that, however, since I have to allow for arbitrary scores and different combinations possibly being off. It doesn't look like you are allowing for straights, right? Another iPhone version that your readers might be interested in is Index Dice.

I will be releasing a multi-player (mix of up to 6 human and or computer player) version of Farkle for the MAC in a couple of weeks.

So much so that I wrote my own version for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. http://ifarkle.com/ If you ever stop by and give it a try, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks!
