Score Four
by Steven Grimm
A short summary of the game.
Score Four is based on the commercial game Connect Four. In Connect Four, two
players drop checkers into an 8x8-square board which stands upright. The
checkers fall to the bottom of whatever row they were dropped into. Each
player tries to get four of his checkers in a row horizontally, vertically, or
diagonally.
In the preliminary version of Score Four, the computer will be your opponent.
The final version will allow zero, one, or two humans to play. To drop a
checker, move the mouse pointer to the row in which you want to drop the
checker. It isn't important where in the row you put the arrow; I prefer to
keep it at the bottom. Once you have positioned the cursor, press either
mouse button.
A blue checker will appear for your move. The computer will then place a red
checker on the board. It IS possible to beat the computer; the preliminary
version's strategy will be the easiest level of the final version.
Enjoy!
