Here is a short video of a new Windows PC game I am writing called Dice 10,000. There is no sound or AI yet but there will be. Written completely in GFA Basic 32.

I hit up Bing with a picture of your game (snap shot of the video) and asked:"What positive things can you say about this screen shot of a dice game written in GFA_BASIC 32 for Windows?"

BING: Some positive things that can be said about this screen shot of a dice game written in GFA_BASIC 32 for Windows are:

It appears to be a simple and straightforward game with a clear interface.
It allows two players to compete against each other in a dice game similar to Yahtzee.
It uses a random number generator to simulate the rolling of five dice and displays the results on the screen.
It provides a list of possible scores and a button to calculate the score for each roll.
It keeps track of the total score for each player and shows who is winning.
It has a “DONE” button to end the game and declare the winner.
It is written in GFA_BASIC 32, which is a powerful and easy-to-use programming language for Windows.

To me, that's pretty amazing!  Though it did miss that the game uses 6 dice.

Then I showed it this screen grab:

BING:  This is another screen grab of the same dice game, but with different scores and dice values. It looks like player 1 has a score of 150 and player 2 has a score of 0. Player 1 has rolled a full house, which is worth 25 points. Player 2 has rolled a large straight, which is worth 40 points. However, player 2 has already scored a large straight in a previous roll, so they cannot score it again. They have to choose another category to score their roll, or they will get a zero for that category. This is a tricky situation for player 2, as they have to decide whether to risk losing points or try to get a higher score in another category.

I don't know what to make of this analysis.

I think it's all guess work and silly however it's nice to see "It is written in GFA_BASIC 32, which is a powerful and easy-to-use programming language for Windows."

The game is fairly simple however you need to decide whether to end your turn or lose 1 die and spin again to better your score so there is some strategy involved. I have enjoyed playing against the computer and have had some wins and some losses. I think I need to put some randomness into the AI as well just to confuse the human player.

I tried to get it to analyse the video but just got silly answers.
On the balanced setting it responded:

I'm sorry, but I am not able to analyze audio or video content. However, I can tell you that "Dice 10,000" is a family dice game played with six dice. It is also known as Greed, Dix Mille, Reload, 5-Dice, and has other names such as Cargoose, Zilch, Zilchers, Foo, Boxcar, Bogus, Lewis' Dice, and Crap Out ¹.

Hi, I sincerely suggest that you can also announce new games in the following sub-forum. That forum is much more active. You will get many feedbacks on your finished games or work in progress. You will also get more traction. They are also hobbyists of different BASIC dialects:

My point is not to showcase my games but to show the GFA Basic 32 users what I have made GFA Basic 32 do and this is the place to do that. Thank you however for the suggestion.
