 The first number is rolled.  If it is a 1, you lose and will be returned to the score screen.  If you roll any other number that is displayed and you must now choose wither to go on or "bank" your score for this turn.  Remember you want the highest possible score each time, but you do not want to roll a 1 or you will lose all point for that turn.  Push [1][Enter] to roll again, or [2][Enter] to bank your score.

		+	==Features==
		+	This PRGM is for simulating and playing the '''Pig''' game featured in [[IAG 1]].
		+	==The Game==
		+	On a turn, a player rolls the die repeatedly until either:
		+
		+	*A 1 is rolled
		+	*The player chooses to hold (stop rolling)
		+
		+	If a 1 is rolled, that player's turn ends and no points are earned.
		+
		+	If the player chooses to hold, all of the points rolled during that turn are added to his or her score.
		+
		+	The object is to get the highest score possible in a certain number of turns.
		+
		+	===Strategy===
		+	====Points====
		+	End after you get a certain number of points. The is the strategy I always followed. My [[IAG 1]] class found it was best to stop after you got more than 20 points.
		+	====Rolls====
		+	End after a certain number of rolls. I didn't really recognize this strategy but it makes a lot of sense.
		+
		+	More info about the game including a version in Java for the computer (with 2 players) and detailed probability analysis, including a research paper can be found on the site of [http://cs.gettysburg.edu/projects/pig/index.html Todd Neller, Chair of Computer Science at Gettysburg College]
		+	==Plug ins==
		+	*[[:Image:SBIGPIG.8xp\|Big Pig Plug-in for "Play Pig"]] - Probability generator written by someone else. Can specify either rolls or maximum number to go to before ending turn. This is not graphical, so you can not see how the game is playing.
