Hey There all! this is my first post so thanks for letting me post my question to the community about my little dice game called Greedy I was able to piece together for fun in my spare time by watching and reading other posts (including those found here before I signed up myself). What I have so far is working well by itself but now I want to add some additional functionality to make the game a little more challenging.
It is a six dice game I learned from a friend years ago and various combos of random dice results would equal specific point values. Currently what I have in place accurately detects any of the point outcomes in each 6 dice roll and displays it into a text field allowing a player to write down what was earned and keep track of how high of a score they go... but that is a bit redundant in itself and interest in playing can be lost quickly because there is no excitement built-in to the application like there was when playing with friends a few years ago as mentioned.
To change that I want to incorporate Checkboxes under (or make the graphic I use to display the various Dice rolled a button to hold them) for each of the dice to decide to hold or not -similarly to Yahtzee- before the next roll. Each time a dice is locked it will remain that way until all dice have been used or score before they can be used again to continue earning points.
Question 1: How do I get the checkboxes to keep up to all 6 dice from being re rolled while allowing the others to continue until a non scoring roll is made?
When the Button is pressed I have this:
private void btn_RollDice_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RollDice();
GetResults();
ResetResults();
}
With each Button press the labels I have showing dice get reset but the image stays until the Roll button is pressed again.
Question 2: Do I need to take out he Reset for this to work or how can it be modified to accommodate not resetting the checked dice before the Roll button is pressed again.
Here is the Reset section:
private void ResetResults()
{
for (int i = 0; i < diceResults.Length; i++)
diceResults[i] = 0;
}
Question 3: Do I need to modify the following sections for each checkBox (1-6) to allow the checkbox to determine weather holding the label associated with the checkbox can happen or not?
private void checkBox1_CheckChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
Anyway. I'll stop there, Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to your replies.
I see what you have suggested and it makes sense but I was not sure how to apply it to my specific game project using the variables I already have in place. As you can tell my skills need some polishing so here is the whole code:

What I have tried:
I have tried assigning each checkbox a boolean value of false and having it become true when checked but could not fill in the gap to associate this action with holding the checked dice before next re-roll. Seems like it should work but I am unsure where to have the result of the checkbox being selected or not in the code to make sure it does not roll those selected when the
btn_RollDice_Clicked
AKA The Roll Button variable is next clicked.
I have a couple more snags I have run into so far but I will ask those in a later post if still unclear after the community here puts its heads together to provide a working solution!
Anyway.... Chat with you soon!
And Thanks in advance for taking the time to look over what I have posted here.
-Regards
