INSTALLATION

To send yams.89p, yamspic.89i, basiclib.89z.
It is possible to place them in an any folder, but yamsave (the alone variable created by the yams but hidden of the TIOS) must remain in the main folder.
The yams must be launched since main (the folder where is contained Basiclib).

Warning : The program is protected by secure (it can not be published).
It has 2 aftermaths : you can't archive it and it doesn't work if you send it via W32trans8x (parallel cable).
If you want a version no protected, e-mail me : I will send it to you as soon as possible.

The yam's (or yatzy) is a very famous die game, but the rules are not allways clear.

RULES OF THE GAME

The yams requires 5 dice. The goal of the game, classic, is to make a maximum of gone points. It can be played with as many player as wanted (here limited to 9) and takes place in 12 towers.
In each turn, the player can throw the dice 3 times. He keeps as much dice as he wishes at each launching. Your goal is to achieve the 12 following combinations...
	-the 6 numbers : to make the more of similar dice for every case (1,2,3,4,5,6) .
	score : addition of the dice selected.
	To get the BONUS that is worth 30 points, it is necessary to achieve 63 points to the whole.
	example: 3,5,3,6,3 bring back 9 points.
	-the maximum and the minimum : to make the maximum and the minimum of points (addition of all dice).
	score : one entrenches the mini of the maxi and multiplies the result gotten by the number of ace of the test n°1.
	-thesequence : to make one following of number (1,2,3,4,5 or 2,3,4,5,6)
	score : 20
	-the Full: brelan and double. 3 and 2 faces equal.
	example: 5,5,5,2,2
	score : 30
	- The square : 4 identical dice
	scare : 40
	-the yam : 5 identical dice
	score : 50

It is possible to select a combination even though it is not succeeded.
Example: to make 2,2,2,5,4 and to select the yams will give 0 points.

	Count of the whole:
		it is the that it is necessary to follow.
The whole himself count so : one aditionne the under whole of dice of which one adds 30 points if it is worth passes 63 either, the under whole (Maximum-minimum) * number of 1 and points achieved at the time of the following, the full, the square and the yams.
One gets so the whole at the end the 12 towers.
To note: The number of 1 is therefore very important! 

APPLICATION ON THE TI 89 

    Constant -keys:
		[CLEAR] extinct the Ti-89 (ex: visit unforeseen of the history prof)
		[APPS] displays coins wholes and the temporary whole
		[ESC] to leave 
   - At the time of the selection of the die.
One selects dice with keys of functions : the selected dice are dice has other replayed. The others are those that are keept.
[ENTER] throws back dice. If all dice are unlocked one goes directly to the choice of the combination.
    -At the moment of the choice of the combinaison,select your choice with the help of the cursor (that one directs with keys of direction) then while pushing on [Enter].
    -then, if one plays alone,all dice are thrown back automaticaly and
and if one plays has several players, it is necessary to push on any key to continue.
    -On the last tour, push [enter] to see the whole.
BUGS
It would have none of it there.
However, because of the collector (basiclib,secure...) ,when the memory is well filled,
some mistakes can appear whereas they don't have anything to make there.
It very rarely arrives but in this case it is necessary to reinstall all.
