Squares is a game of strategy in which you match your wits against the
computer. Like the familiar Tic-Tac-Toe, the players alternate placing X's and
O's on the board until a winning configuration results. However, things are
more complicated than that three-by-three game. You are playing on a much
larger board, and the object is to get four of your letter in a square, like:
^C^1XX
^C^1XX
Of course, the computer is also trying to do this, as well as to block you.
There are several skill levels; at the lowest level, the computer plays a
trivial strategy that's easy to beat, while I'm not sure whether it's humanly
possible to defeat it at its highest level. Try it for yourself!
More-detailed instructions are included within the program.
