Hi

Just got my first game approved for appstore! Thanks to Corona and its great community for making game development fun! Looking forward to continue making more advanced games now that I have been through the process once :slight_smile: Hope people will have as fun playing it as I had making it!

About the game:

BB Yatzy - a fun game of dice for the whole family with 1 - 4 players.

The game has two main game types:

* Yatzy - 15 different scoring combinations, 5 dices, 3 rolls each turn.
* MaxiYatzy - 20 different scoring combinations, 6 dices, 3 rolls each turn and lets you save up unused rolls

These are then divided into two modes again:

* Free mode: lets you decide where to best put your points which gives it a strategic element as well.
* Forced mode: you have to go from top to bottom, except if you get the Yatzy/MaxiYatzy combination.

You also get to choose from 3 different looks for the playarea and the game will remember this as your favourite. It has Open Feint and Game Center leaderboards so you can compete against your friends for highest score and a local highscore table for offline use. The game has a clean, simple and easy to use interface wich remembers your past settings so you can quickly set up a new game. BB Yatzy runs on ipad, iphone and ipod touch units and has support for retina display.
If you try it out please let me know what you think, thanks!

It looks nice, good job!

I was wondering though, can you just re-create an existing game, without getting into copyright issues?

Iā€™m assuming your Yatzy is played like YathZee, if not, forget what i said :slight_smile:

Thank you! Also going to put a video togheter, Apple was just quicker than I thought with the review :slight_smile:

I also wondered about that but as far as i could find out its the name Yathzee that is protected. Yatzy is public domain :slight_smile: [import]uid: 17969 topic_id: 13723 reply_id: 50464[/import]

V1.1 is now finally out on appstore, fixes the bugs that were in v1.0. Been a very good ride so far and learning something new every day :slight_smile:

updates:

  • Reworked all the code for calculating the value for each post so this should work correctly now.
  • Fixed the problem with the total score in maxi yatzi leaving some posts out
  • Added a small delay for how quick you can push roll dice button
  • You can now play music in the background from iPod if you start it after a game session is started
  • Minor optimizations
    and some promocodes to celebrate:
