The origin of of the game of Pig is unknown, but it was first described by
John Scarne in 1945 in his book, "Scarne on Dice". Several games are
derived from Pig, including the commercial game, "Pass the Pigs".
In Pig Dice 3D, it's you against the computer! To play, roll the die. The
points on the die are added to the bank. If you roll a 1, play goes to the
computer and you forfeit your banked points. During your turn, add the
banked points to your score, and play returns to the computer. Be the
first to score 100.
Pig Dice 3D simulates the physics of a real-world die, not a random
number. Also, your computer opponent uses an optimal algorithm developed
by Todd Neller and Clif Presser of Gettysburg College. You literally
cannot find a more formidable opponent!
Finally, Pig Dice 3D is free! You heard that right. Play to your
heart's content! Purchasing Pig Dice 3D in the App Store, though, lets you
save your personal high scores. It also lets you change the spin rate,
pop-up energy, and surface friction of the die.
