BLOB.C
A strategy game by Kevin S. Murray. Human vs Human or play against
the computer. Computer movement logic developed by Kevin S. Murray.
The object of the game is to secure more squares with your color
than your opponent. You may move from any of your occupied squares to
an empty square. The empty square must be within two squares from the
originating square. If you move one square, you retain possesion of
the original square. If you move two squares, you lose possesion of
the original square (it becomes empty, it is not automatically taken
by your opponent). The game ends when all squares on the board are
filled. If you can not move, your opponent may continue to move into
all the empty squares until the board is full, or a square is vacated
that you can move in to (fat chance!).
By default, the blue player is controlled by the computer. You may
play against another person by deselecting the Blue Player option
under the skill menu.
This release does not support the HINT or LEVEL options under the
Skill menu. The HINT will obviously offer a hint for the best place
to move (based on the computer's logic). The LEVEL will allow you
to increase the intelligence of the computer's play in case it is
too easy for you to beat. The registered version of this game
includes these two options. (I had to hold something back to intice
you to register)
I know, you probably don't register a lot of your software. You may
figure that you don't have to because nobody will ever know. Maybe
you think the authors ask for too much money. I am only asking for
$3.00 for my time to create this program. In case you aren't aware,
developing WINDOWS programs is expensive. The Software Development
Kit is over $300.00 and the C Compiler is over $300.00 as well.
I always look for WINDOWS programs on the BBS's I frequent, and I
look for the games, too. Usually, I am disappointed in the quality
of the WINDOWS games. Hopefully, this game will grab your fancy and
you will enjoy it as much as I have. In case you're wondering...
it can beat me about two out of seven times.
You can send your registration to Kevin Murray, PO Box 41751,
Fayetteville, NC 28309. I will acknowledge all registered users.
Enjoy the program, and pass it on to a friend. Thank You!
