Yahtzee Game

Welcome to the Yahtzee Game! This is a classic dice game where players roll five dice in an attempt to score points in different categories. The game is implemented in Java and can be played on the command line.

How to Play

1. You can start the game by running following command in your console. Make sure, you are in the same folder!

java -jar SD1_Project_Yahtzee.jar

2. Type in the player names seperated by a comma and press enter. For example, if you want to play with two players named 'Player 1' and 'Player 2', you would enter Player 1, Player 2 in the command prompt.

3. Roll the dice by entering the dice numbers in the command prompt. You can either roll a single or multiple dice or skip the roll by entering skip.

4. After you have rolled, select which dice you would like to set on a combination by entering the corresponding combination number (1-13) in the command prompt. If there are no valid combinations, you have to choose an unset combination to cancel it.

5. The game ends when all categories on the scorecard have been filled. The player with the highest total score wins.
