This is +repeated until the game is over, i.e. one of the players has +four pieces in a row, column or diagonal or no more moves are possbile +because the board is filled. +</P> + +<p> <p> +<B> The board </B> +<P>The board is separated into three regions.</P> + +<UL> +<LI>The game board:<BR> +It is constructed out of 7x6 fields which will be filled from bottom +to top.

It further shows the +level of the computer opponent, the number of moves done as well as the +computer calculated chance of winning. This chance is calculated only if +the computer opponent makes a move. A positive number means that the player +has an advantage, a negative number means that the computer thinks +he is better. +<br> +</LI> +<LI>The table display:<BR> +Here the number of won, lost and drawn games is noted for both player. +Also the number of aborted games (Brk) and the sum of games is shown. +<br> +</LI> +</UL> + +<p> <p> +<B> The File menu</B> +<P> + +<UL> +<LI>New game<BR> +Start a new game. <br> +</LI> +<LI>End Game<BR> +Immediately end a game.

It is possible that there are +two local players just as the computer can take both local players. +Only one remote player is possible though. If the client does +not choose one remote player he will be asked as soon as a connection +is built. It <b>does not matter</b> what colour the remote side +chooses.

This is of course only of any importance if +you are doing a network game. +Only the computer acting as server will be able to start a new game +or transfer a started game to the client's side. +<br> +If both computers want to be server or none of them it is randomly +selected. +<br> +</LI> +</UL> + +<p> <p> +<B> The Help menu </B> + <P>This menu displays the help text as well as information +about the program and the operation system.</P> + + +<p> <p> +<B> Remote connections </B> +<P> + +It is possible to play the game over a network connection +with another computer. To do so both player on both computers +have to select one colour played by a human player and the +other by the remote player. Who chooses which colour does not +matter. It even does not matter if both choose to play the same +colour as this will transparentely be interchanged by the game. +<p> +One of the computers will act as game server. Only this one can +start a nbew network game. Also all its game data will be transfered +to the client computer. This includes games already in play - this +means a remote player can join a game already begun. Who will be +server can be selected by the <i>network server</i> menu item in +the options menu. If both choose to be server or client the game +randomly selects one. +<p> + +When a network connection is build you are ask to enter a remote +host and a port. The port can usually just been left untouched. But +if you now what you do replace it by another number, which has to +be the same in both player games of course. The hostname should be +the name of the remote host to which you are connecting. Only one +of the two players has to supply a hostname, the other one need not +to, but can. +<p> + + + +<P> + +<p> +<hr> +<B>Author: </B> +<P>© 1995-2000 Martin Heni (martin@heni-online.de)</P> +<FONT SIZE=2></FONT></BODY> +</HTML> |
