Version 1.5 will soon be published with a new game speed feature!
Thanks to everyone that left a comment or review at the Windows Phone Marketplace!
From your comments we gathered that some players found the game dice speed to slow.
In order to keep the peace with all players, game dice speed can now be adjusted!

Game speed setup (available in version 1.5)
Tapping the dice speed button on the game menu screen will display a screen that lets you adjust 
the game dice speed.
There are four speeds to choose from and the selected speed is indicated by the number of green
dots between the minus and plus buttons.

A great big thank you to everyone that is playing Dice Ten Thousand! We hope you have fun playing and welcome any comments or suggestions you may have.

Best regards,

Dice Ten Thousand details and game play.

01 December 2012

Dice Ten Thousand version 1.1.0.0 has been published and is available. If you have already installed Dice Ten Thousand on your Windows Phone tap the Marketplace tile to  see a list of the latest updates available for your apps and games. You will find the update for Dice Ten Thousand in the list. 

Thank you to Michael for your latest review:
"Great game, cannot play against ai still. Gameplay is noticeably faster though".

Currently when you play a "single player game" you do have to play both players turns.
When you tap the done  button in player setup the game just sets the second players name to Player 2. All the rolling and dice selection is still done by you for both players.

The version 1.1.0.0 update improved the dice roll, shortened the cup shake time, and made it possible to allow one last roll.

Another update should be available by next weekend (8th December) !

Version 1.3.0.0 will completely automate the AI player.
If you enter just the first player name in player setup and tap "Done" the game will create an AI player that is fully automated. 
The AI player rolls, selects it's dice and decides whether or not to allow a last roll  for you! (if the AI player reaches or passes 10000 points first)

Dice Ten Thousand version 1.1.0.0 update will soon be available!

-The oops noted in my previous post has been fixed. The player score for both players now starts at zero point for single  and two player games.
-The dice roll has been improved and the cup shake time reduced to give the players a better and faster game experience. Thanks for the suggestion Michael!

21 November 2012

The version 1.0.0.1 version of Dice Ten Thousand is available for download! 

Unfortunately I left some test code active when the game was republished!! SORRY!!
Presently:
When you start a new single player game (only enter one name on the player setup screen and click done)
Your score will already be at 9900 points!! (So will the AI score)
If you play through that game (it will be really short) and select play again on the Game Over screen  both players   scores will be reset to zero points! 

Note:
If you enter the name for two players when starting a new game both players scores will start at zero points and game-play is normal.

This is being fixed as quickly as possible and a NEW update will be available very shortly!!

Thank you Michael for the review you left for Dice Ten Thousand on the 21st of November 2012. 
We are working on some improvements for Dice Ten Thousand including faster gameplay and changes to the AI gameplay. 

16 Nov 2012 

An update is on the way for Dice Ten Thousand!
The update will allow the losing player one last roll after  the other player has reached or passed Ten Thousand points.

When a player reaches or passes Ten Thousand points a message is displayed asking if you want to allow one last roll for the player that may lose.

If you select yes, the player gets one last roll. If their final roll gets enough points to make their total score greater than yours they win.

If you select no, the game displays the winners name with the winning score!

Your game ... Your choice!
