---------------------------------------------------------------- VIERPP 1.0 Vier Gewinnt (Four Wins) for Windows ---------------------------------------------------------------- by Jakob Braeuchi Kasernenstrasse 36 CH-3013 Bern Switzerland CompuServe 100014,567 This game was realized with MS-Visual C++ 1.0 and MFC 2.0 * If you like this game ,please send me CHF 10.- * (about 7 US-Dollars) or equivalent in cash; no checks please ! 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 !
