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.
Payment should be sent to:
