Scoring for kinds is one of the functions that take advantage of the dice being sorted. Looping through the dice,
each die is compared to the die in front of it. When matches are found, the local variable match is incremented.
Along with match being declared as 0, a few more variables are set. The score variable starts at 0 and is
incremented with each iteration of the loop by the value of each die. At the end of the loop, the score variable will
contain the sum of all dice. The pass value is set to true as soon as the appropriate consecutive matches are found.
This pass variable is determined by comparing matches against the button key and will be used to determine if the
player is awarded the score or not.
Scoring for Straights
Two categories use this next function. Thirty points are awarded for four dice that form a sequence. Forty points are
given if all dice form a sequence (see Listing 7-35).
Listing 7-35. Small and Large Straight Scores
Scoring.getStraights = function () {
var i;
var match = 0;
var score = this.btnValue == 4 ? 30 : 40;
var matchesNeeded = this.btnValue;
var pass = false;
var len = this.dice.length - 1;
for (i = 0; i < len ; i++) {
if (this.dice[i] == (this.dice[i + 1] - 1)) {
match++;
if (match >= matchesNeeded) {
pass = true;
break;
}
}
else {
match = 0;
}
}
score = pass ? score : 0;
return score;
