- A note from the author of Morpion on the Newton, Henri Lamiraux:
-
- ******
- Morpion is a simple solitaire game I used to play on paper when I was a kid.
- Over the years I have been programming it on various platforms I have been in
- contact with. This is usually the first application I write to familiarize
- myself with a new system or language.
-
- The goal of Morpion is to draw as many line segments as possible. A segment can
- be drawn by using five existing dots or by adding a fifth dot to four existing
- dots. In the latest case, the position of the missing dot doesn’t matter. It
- can be at the beginning, at the end, or in the middle of the segment .

- With some practice you should be able to go above 100. I used to be able, after
- many years of practice, to go around 200.

-
- Have fun.

- Note that I don't know anyone who can get about 100. BTW, I asked Henri,
- and he had no objection to me distributing this version.
