Version 2.02
by Perry Prust
(C) 1993
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 WINs is a Windows version of the classic Connect 4(TM) game.
Although the rules are simple and a match is short (compared to Go or
Chess),"4 WINs" is a fascinating game.
Rules of the game:
------------------
Two players put pieces on a 7-by-6-board, which stands upright on the
longer edge. Both players put alternately a piece of their own colour
into one of the rows of the board. The piece falls down according to
gravity. The goal is to get 4 pieces into a line. All directions count
(horizontal, vertical and diagonal). Who can do this first is the winner.
If, after 21 moves, nobody has won, the game ends in a draw.
