- REACTION - BY CORY CHAPMAN
-
-
- Reaction is a game based on the arcade game "Ataxx". It is a
- strategy board game. In order to win, two conditions must be met.
- One, you have to have more pieces on the board than your opponent.
- Two, the board must be filled or you must capture all of your
- opponent's pieces.
-
- There are two basic moves in Reaction. To start any move, you
- must click on any one of your pieces. The first type of move
- takes place when you then click on an empty square directly
- adjacent to the piece you select. A new piece will appear on the
- empty space selected. The other type of move takes place when you
- select an empty square that is two spaces from the original piece.
- The piece you select will move to the selected square rather than
- generate a new piece in that square. You cannot move beyond two
- squares away from the original piece.
-
- After you move, all of the opponent's pieces (if any) surrounding
- the square you move to will change colors and become your pieces,
- thus the name Reaction.
-
- Reaction is one of the few shareware games that has a computer
- player. It is a worthy adversary, as I can only beat it 75% of
- the time, and I wrote it. Two human players can also play, by
- taking turns with the mouse.
-
- This game is shareware. This means that it is yours to try, but
- if you like it and want to see more programs like it, a small
- donation ($10) to the author might brighten his attitude enough
- for him to write some more games.
