About

Open Yahtzee is an open-source (free) version of the classic dice game Yahtzee. Open Yahtzee is built to be OS portable, that means you can run it on many kinds of different operating systems and platforms. The portability is mainly achieved via wxWidgets which also gives Open Yahtzee a native look on each platform. Open Yahtzee is being developed by Guy Rutenberg.
