-
- What is Netzee:
- Netzee is a game of Yatzee that allows up to 4 players to play over the internet or a LAN.
-
- How do you start a game:
- - Both players connect to their normal ISP to get on the internet like ussual.
-
- Host:
- - Pick a person to host.
- - This person launches Netzee and clicks "New Game" to open up the Netzee Connect window.
- - Change the popup menus to "Network" for any players that will be connecting to you.
- - Put your name in a field that is marked "Local" for a local player.
- - Once the other players are all joined press the "Start Game" button.
- - NB your IP address will appear at the top right of the connect window.
-
- Client:
- - Players who are not hosting should launch Netzee and choose "New Game".
- - In the Netzee Connect window click on "Join Game" and then enter the address of the host.
- - Press the "connect" button in this window to attempt to connect to the host.
- - The names of the other players will appear in your Netzee connect window and you can change your name here too.
- - Wait for the other players to join and then the host will start the game.

- Version History:
- 1.0
- - Added option to toggle sounds (if upgrading from an older version you have to enable your sounds)
- - New score card graphic. Thanks Brian Supafly!
-
- 1.0b19
- - Fixed a bug that sometimes added up the bonus twice.
- - Fixed a bug that in some cases caused the wrong scores to be hilighted in the
- highscore list.
- - Connection Window no longer opens on the host if a player disconnects after a
- game has ended.
- - Added a 'Reset' button to the new game warning window.
-
- 1.0b18
- - Support for GameRanger has been added. Use this great utility to find people
- to play with. http://www.gameranger.com
- - Can no longer roll or hold dice after the game has ended.
- - Games can continue if a player's connection is dropped. The game just clears
- them from the card.
- - Pressing "New Game" while a game is in progress now displays a warning
- message since this can disrupt some games.
- - Displays the roll count above the "Roll" button.
-
- 1.0b17
- - Prevents resetting game when Netzee is first opened. In previous versions
- this used to display that Player 4 had won.
- - Fixed a bug in the connect window where players who connected after you
- may not appear in your window.
-
- 1.0b16
- - Added an option to "Auto Roll - first roll". This allows you to toggle the
- automatic roll of a players first roll.
- - A Yatzee (5 of a kind) can now be recorded as a Full House.
- - Select All now works in the Server Address field of the Netzee Connect
- window.
-
- 1.0b15
- - Fixes a bug that allowed a player to scratch Yatzee more than once in the
- same game.
-
- 1.0b14
- - It seems that beta 13 was unlucky as the number would indicate. It was a bad
- build that prevented connections from being established. Hopefully 14 will
- be better.
-
- 1.0b13
- - All players that acheived a high score are now recorded on the high score
- list. In previous versions only the winner of the game would appear.
-
- 1.0b12
