Introduction:

I've invented a new game for this tute. It's inspired by my Poker Solitaire and my Colour Yahtzee. Let's call it Yahtzee Solitaire.

The player is presented with an empty 5 x 5 grid and a coloured counter. She may place it anywhere on the grid. Rows and columns are scored thus:

  • one pair: 1
  • two pairs: 2
  • three of a kind: 5
  • a pair and three of a kind: 8
  • four of a kind: 12
  • five of a kind: 20

Try Yahtzee Solitaire yourself. My best score so far is 58.


Getting Started:

Let's start by generating the grid.


Specifically, just the top row.
