Squares.  A two player game. 

To install, just copy the disk to where you want it.

How to play.  
After pressing PLAY to start, the two players take it in 
turns to place a peg of their colour onto the grid, 
attempting to make the four corners of a square or trying 
to block one of the other player's squares.  When a 
square is completed the computer will draw the 
outline of it.  Squares can be any size and at any angle, 
but must  but must be square!  The bigger the square is, 
the more points it is worth.  Also a bonus point is 
awarded for every extra square created at once. 
The winner is the player with the most points when all the 
pegs are used. 
Control in the game is with the mouse, but the joystick 
can also be used to move the mouse pointer during the 
game if it is required. 
Pressing SPACE will put the players peg in a random 
place, this could be used as a (poor) computer player if no 
one will play against you.
  
The game should work on any Amiga just by clicking on 
the icon or by typing Squares.exe in the shell.
Tested on:
A1200, Blizzard 1230, 6MB RAM, 1550MB Harddrive, IDE 
CD-ROM
A500, 1 MB RAM, Extra disk drive.

The game was inspired (copied) from a PC (spit) internet 
game.
At the time I wanted inspiration for something to program 
so I didn't check if there is already an Amiga game like 
this.  (Sorry if there is.)
The game only took 2 days to program and another 2 
days to perfect (I hope).
