=========================================================== 

Behtzee is a simple five dice game.  

Your goal is to score the most points possible.  This is done by rolling the dice.  At the beginning of each turn you roll all five dice.  Then you have the choice of holding any number of them aside while you roll the others.  You may also un-hold any current held dice during a turn.  Each turn consists of three rolls of the dice (but you may skip a roll or two if you'd like).

To score just click on any of the scoring buttons.  If your current
roll does not qualify for the catagory selected, a zero ("0") will
be entered.  Once a category has been selected that button will be disabled until a new game is started.

===summary of scoring catagories===
"Top" catagories:
1's			: sum of all 1's showing
2's			: sum of all 2's showing
3's			: sum of all 3's showing
4's			: sum of all 4's showing
5's			: sum of all 5's showing
6's			: sum of all 6's showing

"Bottom" catagories:
3 of a kind 	: sum of all dice - must have 3 of a kind 
4 of a kind 	: sum of all dice - must have 4 of a kind
Full House  	: 25 pts. - must have 3 of a kind + 1 pair

Lg. Straight	: 40 pts. - must have 5 consecutive dice
Chance		: sum of all dice 
Behtzee		: 50 pts. - must have 5 of a kind

If the total of the "Top" catagories is greater or equal to '63'
you qualify for a 35 pt. bonus.

'current roll' is the raw sum of all 5 dice.
'New Game' resets all scoring catagories.

Have Fun!
