-
- The Rules
- ---------
- It's quite simple, you win if you are able to place 4 of your
- pieces in sequence (either vertical, horizontal or diagonal).
- Due to gravitation, the pieces sink down the column...
-
- How to play
- -----------
- Move the mouse to the desired column in the left window and
- click the LEFT button once. You will see a RED circle, your piece,
- and soon after a blue one in a different column (this is the
- computer's piece).
- The move-list is displayed in the right window's listbox.
-
- If you win, or probably loose the game, press the first button in
- the toolbar to clear the game board and start a new game.
-
- Features
- --------
- -Use the OPTIONS-Dialog (button four in the toolbar) to select the
- Game LEVEL (1-6) and the Board DIMENSION (8,10,16).
- Levels above 4 should be used on high speed systems
- (33 MHz or higher) only.
- -In the VIEW-Menu you can set the colors of pieces if you don't
- like the defaults.
- -Games can be saved and reloaded using the FILE-Menu or buttons
- three and two.
-
- -Windows non-preemptive multitasking is supported. During the
- search for the computer's move, VIERPP only processes WM_MOUSEMOVE
- messages, so there will be no repaints.
-
- Known Limitations
- -----------------
- -Version 1.0 doesn't support a RANDOM feature, that means if you
- know how to win, you can reproduce it anytime!
- -The Print and Print-Preview functions are not yet fully
- implemented.
-
- Enjoy it !
