!Cluster
Version 1.00 by Mike Williams.
Version 2.00 by D. Salt. Is much as version 1.00
except for a few tweaks and colour changes to get
it to run on the desktop.
!Cluster is a territory game. The winner is the one
who controls the most territory.
Any piece which has three opposing counters
adjacent to it is annihilated.
Empty locations with three adjacent orange counters
are coloured yellow.
Empty locations with three adjacent blue counters
are coloured cyan.
Empty locations with three adjacent blue counters
AND three adjacent orange counters are coloured
red.
Counters of the wrong colour placed on vacant
coloured squares are instantly destroyed before
they can affect any adjacent squares.
You are blue. The computer plays orange.
Use the mouse to indicate your move.
When it is your turn, the !Cluster icon (on the
icon bar) will be shown as a small orange disc next
to a large blue disc upon which is a hand; when the
pointer is over the game window, it will be shown
as a blue disc with an arrowhead attached.
When it is the computer's turn, the !Cluster icon
will be shown as a small blue disc next to a large
orange disc upon which is an Archimedes logo. The
percentage indicator shows how much thinking the
computer has done when it is its turn; otherwise,
it shows '--%'.
Endgame is indicated by both discs in the !Cluster
icon being the same size. Click on this icon or the
game window to start a new game, or, if you wish to
change the board size...
The size of the playing area may be altered by
using the 'New game' submenu. Click on the arrows
to alter it, or on 'OK' (or 'New game') to set the
size and start a new game.
