Wasn't sure how else to word the title. I made a yahtzee game, simple enough. But I think the code could be done better. Right now, each category has it's own code for checking the dice to see if they match the requirements. It's cumbersome and I don't like it.

I'm trying to think of a way to take the numbers from the 5 dice and somehow run a pattern filter over it to see if it meets the category's criteria, if that makes sense.

Perhaps forming a binary string from them. For instance, my string for 5 dice number 1 through 5 would look like this: 0000000100000010000000110000010000000101

Then I could overlay a filter or pattern of what I'm looking for, whether it be only 4's or a full house. Function would give me a simple yes or no if it matches the pattern. I have no idea if this is possible without regex but thought I'd see if any of us can come up with something.

Yahtzee outcomes and optimisation are extremely calculatable, but also quite complicated. Try this for starters...
