@stack
appreciate the praise and feedback.
new players: No live data but i could detect a bad first move like you said. should be a simple if.
held dice / end of round: I actually planned for this and have some code for it but never implemented. I ultimately skipped due to screen real estate and not being sure it was necessary. An end of round breakout might be the compromise.
side note. I have a full time job not in IT and 2 small kids so I've put in a lot of my "free" time into this and I'm glad it's working out.
thanks again

I am not totally clear on strategy, or th filling part....

so strategy I leave to the player. it's part of figuring out how to get the top spot.
if you fill you make all the dice scoring, then you have the option of keeping the points or picking up all 6 dice and rolling again, but every throw risks a farkle. If you think you can get 4 fills in a row, but it's hard to do.
it's the risk vs reward that I like and is probably why I like craps so much.
Tried it, love it — I hope you don't mind a little feedback, based on my first round. It took me a few rolls to realize I don't get it and look for instructions. If you keep live data of past games, you could provide instructions for new players upfront. If you don't, you can detect a stupid first move and show instructions... It shouldnt be hard to show the dice I am holding, unless you think keeping notes is a part of the game. Finally, at the end of a round, you could show how the score...
