- Introduction
- ============
-
- TicTacToe, or Noughts and Crosses as us Brits call it, is a really
- simple little game. If you don't know how to play, well, it's
- really really simple.
-
- Basically, what you need to do is get a row of three of your peices
- (either a O or a X) to win. Simple as that. Almost no skill
- whatsoever, apart from seeing whether your opponent is about to
- win.
-
- I wrote TicTacToe because I needed to learn about programming in
- OPL32 (I previously used OPL16 on my 3c) in order to write more
- complex programs. Also, I like noughts and crosses, and maybe one
- day soon I'll make it in 3-D.

-
- Installing
- ==========
-
- Installing couldn't be easier. If you have PsiWin installed, all
- you need to do is double click the SIS file. If you don't have
- PsiWin copy the SIS file to your Psion and tap it once to select it
- and tap it once again to install it.
-
- To remove TicTacToe, just open up the control panel, open the
- Add/remove applet, select TicTacToe from the list, and choose the
- Remove button.

-
- Playing The Game
- ================
-
- This is also easy, just tap where you want to go.
-
- This release allows you to play against the computer, but not
- against a friend, or yourself.
-
- I'm not sure whether I'll implement these things or not, as the
- code has become quite messy already. I'd have to rewrite most of
- it just to get 1 and 0 player games.
-
- I've started writing a TicTacToe game in C++ based on this game.
- Hopefully in time I'll have rewritten this entirely in C++, or at
- least using an OPX for working out where to go. Maybe even looking
- 2, 3 or 4 moves ahead.
