I'm working on a CGI Perl version of Yahtzee. I tried to find on the net something but found only an ugly Java implementation of the game. Seems like my Yahtzee has all chances to be something special on the net. Or can anyone point me to a site with an online Yahtzee game? My version will implement a Finnish version of the game where there are 15 combinations. First the 1's to 6's, then One Pair, Two Pairs, Three of a Kind, Four of a Kind, Full House, Little Straight (1, 2, 3, 4, 5!), Big Straight (2, 3, 4, 5, 6!), Chance and Yahtzee.

The scoring also seems to differ. In all combinations you score the sum of the significant dice, except for Yahtzee, which scores 50.

Among other things I want to test how to implement multiplayer facilities with browser windows redrawn only wen needed, using only HTML with frames, no Java, ASP or server push, I don't even know what they are. Jawa was a classic East European motorbike (;-b)
