I have a question regarding the "show verified dice" answer. Is this still an active feature in recent versions? I ask because, for some time now, whenever I click on "show verified dice", while playing in a online bot hosted game, it does not display a roll. I assumed it was de-activated or I just didn't understand how it works.
Also, I notice this feature isn't even available if in a privately hosted online games?

Q. If the game is open source, how do you prevent people from hacking the dice.
A. In PBEM games, all dice are rolled by a third party dice server, and mailed to the players. This allows you to verify that your opponent is not cheating.
In online games, the dice are rolled on two computers, and are encrypted (for more details see OnlineDice ). If you are playing as a client (NOTE: if there are multiple clients, then only 1 client will have the verified random number), you can check the dice by using the menu games->show verified dice. If the dice in this window don't match the dice in the game, then the server has been hacked.
So, I just checked using 8453, it is functional now, in online bot hosted games. Great!
