- INTRODUCTION:
- 4-Play is a 2-player game similar to the old Tic-Tac-Toe games that are
- familiar to most everyone, but 4-Play expands on the old idea with added
- spaces for game-play. Instead of playing on a 3 by 3 grid you now play
- on a 4 by 4 grid that makes it more difficult to win.
-
- OBJECT OF THE GAME:
- For those few people that are not completely sure of the rules and the
- game-play I will give a short description. The object of the game is to
- get either four X's or O's lined up horizontally, vertically or diagonal
- before your opponent. Once you have moved in a space you or your opponent
- cannot move in that same space. When someone has lined four up, the game
- will end and the next game will start.
-
- HOW TO PLAY:
- To play the game, all you do is click on the space that you wish your
- X or O in and it will be placed there. Player one will use the O's and
- player two will use the X's as their pieces. You will know which players
- turn it is by looking in the message box in the lower part of the 4-Play
- form, you will know also which pieces turn it is by looking in the small
- box in the lower right-hand corner. If you fill up all the spaces without
- a winner then the game is declared a draw and a new one is started. When
- someone wins their score, which is located towards the bottom of the form,
- will increase for each win.
-
- OPTIONS:
- At the top of the 4-Play form you will notice three menu commands that
- will do the functions listed. The first one is Exit that will allow you
- to exit the game. The second menu option if About that will present you
- with some program information. The last option is Restart that will reset
- the scores and start a new game. Both Exit and Restart ask you if you are
- sure before they do anything.
-
- REGISTERING 4-PLAY:
- 4-Play is not a free program, but instead a program that allows you to
- play it for awhile and then if you like it you can send $5.00 to the
- address listed below and register the program. Registering 4-Play will
- not get you anything besides a thank you letter from Shortdog Inc. and
- will show that you support the greatest invention of late... Shareware.
