2004-03-07: Hey everyone the long awaited new version of Ten Thousand Dice is finally here. Now you can use keyboard shortcut keys to play the game [1,2,3,4,5,6,A,N,R,S] are the main ones. You can have different dice for every player [in the registered version of course], and I think I've fixed all the known bugs.  If you find any new ones please let me know so I can get rid of them too. Have fun everyone!

2004-03-03:: Get ready for the next version of Ten Thousand Dice. The new version will be available for download soon. It will have some fun new features for you, as well as a fix for the recent crash bug.  And for those of you who would rather use your keyboard instead of your mouse, I've added keyboard short cuts for all aspects of the game so you can play completely mouse free! :)

2004-02-28: There have been some reports of an bug in the Registered version of Ten Thousand Dice that crashes the game.  It appears just as you press OK to begin playing the game (after selecting the players).  The bug is being reported by people who are using XP and who use dial up for internet access.

We are working on a bug fix that will correct this problem, and hope to have it in the next release of Ten Thousand Dice, scheduled out on Monday 03-08-2004.

For the Registered Users:

Now you have several different dice graphics to pick from
