-
- ===================================
-
- Kapara (I invented the name, don't know the 'official' name) is a two
- player game.
- In this implementation of Kapara for Psion 3, you play against the
- computer.
-
- Installation
- 1. Copy kapara.opa to \app directory of the Psion 3.
- 2. Install it as application using the <psion>-I key in
- the system screen.
-
- Activation
- 1. In the system screen, highlight the 'Kapara' pseudo document
- name and press Enter.
-
- Rules
- 1. The game is played on a 2 by 8 board.
- 2. Your pieces are marked with 'U', the computer pieces are marked
- with '3'.
- 3. The computer always makes the first move, this puts the computer
- in disadvantage and enable you to win.
- 4. Each piece can move any (non zero) number of squares to the left
- or to the right. A piece can not move vertically.
- 5. A piece can not be moved over an opponent piece.
- 6. Each player, in his turn, must make exactly one valid move.
- 7. A player which can not make a valid move (in his turn) lose.
-
- Keys
- 1. arrow keys - move cursor (the square marker).
- 2. Escape - abort the game.
- 3. space or Enter - make a move to the current cursor location.
-
- Hints
- 1. The computer plays a perfect moves.
- 2. The player who makes the first move (the computer) is in disadvantage
- state. By playing perfect moves, the other player (i.e. You) can
- always move.
- 3. Since the computer plays best moves. making a single bad move
- will enable the computer to win.
-
-
- In few days, I will make the source available by posting it to
- an anonymous FTP site.
