Cliff Whitmer did!
It was done as a fun project and I truly hope you enjoy it. :-)
Add Greedy to your home screen
If you are playing Greedy on your phone it is best to add it to the home screen. This will hide the browser address bar and allow Greedy to take the entire screen. If you are on an Android device you should be prompted to add the app to your home screen. Just select yes and follow the steps from there. If you are on iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.), you will need to press the share button, once the game is running, and select add to home screen from the options and follow the prompts from there. Once this is complete, you can start the game from the icon on your home screen for a full screen experience.
Player names
You can enter your own player names by clicking on them. These names will be saved so you will not have to type them in again for a re-match.
Scoring in Greedy
Scoring combinations, what exactly are they?
Basically, points are awarded if you roll a 1, a 5, or three of a kind, as well as for rolling one of each number (1,2,3,4,5,6) and for rolling three pairs.
Points are awarded as follows:
- Roll 1 – 100 points
- Roll 5 – 50 points
- Roll 3 x 1s – 1,000 points
- Roll 3 x 2s – 200 points
- Roll 3 x 3s – 300 points
- Roll 3 x 4s – 400 points
- Roll 3 x 5s – 500 points
- Roll 3 x 6s – 600 points
- Roll 1,2,3,4,5,6 – 3,000 points
- Roll 3 pairs – 1,500 points.
- Roll 2 triplets – 2,500 points.
Scoring combinations only count if they are made within the same throw. For example, you can’t roll 2 x 3s on one throw and then a third 3 on your next throw and count it as a three-of-a-kind.
However, you can count multiple scoring combinations within one throw. For example, if you throw 1,2,2,2,3,5, you could count all of the following.
- 100 points for 1
- 200 points for the 3 x 2s
- 50 points for the 5.
This would give you a total of 350 points on one throw.
Busting:
You can roll the non-held dice again within a scoring round. However, if you do not roll a scoring combination with the dice thrown, you will bust and loose all points not yet added to the Game Score (as well as loosing a precious bust pip in single player mode).
If you manage to score all 6 dice, you can throw all 6 again.
How to Win in Greedy
In Greedy, the aim of the game is to reach 10,000 points before running out of busts or scores in single player mode; or before your opponent does in multi-player.
In multi-player, if someone reaches 10,000, each remaining player will have 1 more shot at bettering their score.
