I'm away from the code the moment but I just thought of something- the bonuses don't work. if you get multiple yahtzees, the 100 point bonus won't be added to your total score. However, it does show up on the scorecard, because the scorecard is created in a different way. Same with the 35 point bonus for the number dice scores. I'll post a new version with the fixes (and an icon) tomorrow.

The best strategy I have found that works is to go for the straights first, they are pretty difficult to get, and if you fail to get one, you can pick 1s or 2s or something that won't hurt you.

Then work on full house next.

Next, 3/4 of kinds. Try to use fives or sixes for 3/4ks because it is a total dice count that is added to your score.

Try to get yahtzees with the remaining numbered dice choices, picking them if you fall short. Try to go for the dice values in order from smallest to largest, that way you can go for sixes twice, and if you fall short of a yahtzee with them, pick chance for the most points (if you have already picked 6's).

Never pick yahtzee if you don't have one, it will lock you out of getting them for the rest of the game. (that's how it was on my handheld electronic game, so that's how I buit this.)

To sum up:
Basically the strategy is this, use the dice on top as a fallback if you don't get what you are trying for, and DON'T go for a yahtzee every time, it doesn't work.
