TicTacToe

Readme for TicTacToe v0.7b Copyright 2000 UK Adam Brinley Codd Introduction ============ TicTacToe, or Noughts and Crosses as us Brits call it, is a really simple little game. If you don't know how to play, well, it's really really simple. Basically, what you need to do is get a row of three of your peices (either a O or a X) to win. Simple as that. Almost no skill whatsoever, apart from seeing whether your opponent is about to win. I wrote TicTacToe because I needed to learn about programming in OPL32 (I previously used OPL16 on my 3c) in order to write more complex programs. Also, I like noughts and crosses, and maybe one day soon I'll make it in 3-D. Installing ========== Installing couldn't be easier. If you have PsiWin installed, all you need to do is double click the SIS file. If you don't have PsiWin copy the SIS file to your Psion and tap it once to select it and tap it once again to install it. To remove TicTacToe, just open up the control panel, open the Add/remove applet, select TicTacToe from the list, and choose the Remove button. Playing The Game ================ This is also easy, just tap where you want to go. This release allows you to play against the computer, but not against a friend, or yourself. I'm not sure whether I'll implement these things or not, as the code has become quite messy already. I'd have to rewrite most of it just to get 1 and 0 player games. I've started writing a TicTacToe game in C++ based on this game. Hopefully in time I'll have rewritten this entirely in C++, or at least using an OPX for working out where to go. Maybe even looking 2, 3 or 4 moves ahead. Revison History =============== Version 0.50b Initial release. Two human player game. Notify's when someone wins. Version 0.60b Human vs. Computer implemented. Quite fast too. Version 0.61b Updated the documentation, as I forgot to add it was computer playable in Playing The Game :-) Version 0.70b Implemented a nice 'standard' background. It also now keeps score, even after closing the program.
