Introduction
Ready... set... ROLL! When time is running out and the dice need to spin fast, open Derby Buddy.
This helpful tool for Pogo™ Dice Derby players will spin the dice and hold the best combinations. Derby Buddy
is a auto that simply plays the game for you automatically until you tell it to stop.

The Interface (GUI)
Derby Buddy's GUI is basic and to-the-point. It has a Auto Play button which doubles as a Stop
button, and a Collapse button that doubles as an Expand button. The Play Timer and Rolls Taken
counters offer you real-time statistics. It also lists a few menu options: Options Rooms and Help.
You can learn more about these by reading below.

Menu Options
 |
The Options allows you to access Derby Buddy's settings and change them to suit your needs (see below). It also offers an opportunity to refer a buddy (tell a friend) about Derby Buddy and/or request a new feature. |
|
The Rooms menu has one of most valuable features of Dice Derby Buddy. It contains backdoors links to each of Pogo's Dice Derby room topics. |
|
The Help menu provides instructions on how to use Derby Buddy, a link to the Play Buddy Help Center, shortcuts to buy and register your copy, and a valuable Troubleshoot and Bug Report feature to use when Derby Buddy isn't working. But perhaps the most valuable feature here is the auto check at startup which automatically checks for any updates. |

HELP!
It won't recognize the game window
Double-check that you have the newest version available. Do this by using the check for update feature under the Help menu on the Buddy. Also, the "News" section at the top of this page has a link to "Updated Buddies." Here you can see if the Buddy has been recently updated and why.
Now make sure that all the system requirements for the Buddy are met. These include Windows XP or Vista, Internet Explorer, Sun Java, and appropriate display settings.
It won't work
First, go to the Help menu on the Buddy and visit the Troubleshoot page to see if your solution is there. No luck? Select the Bug Report feature under the HELP tab on the Buddy. Fill in the required fields, capture the screen, and then send it. Play Buddy Support will receive it and respond to you via e-mail.
