RELEASE 1.20 NOTE:
The real major change in this version is that the
interface is changed and it works in any resolution.
The program now supports complete use of the keyboard.
Also when you choose Restart you don't have to start
a new game, you can choose no and you will be returned.
The graphics of the squares are not as nice as before,
but that was the reason it did not look right in any
other resolution besides 640X480. So when I get all the
bugs out, I will redo the graphics to look better.
Another change is that this version knows when you have
completely filled all the squares and declares it a
draw. Also this version not only shows either Player 1
or Player 2, but also shows in a small box in the bottom
right corner, the letter that the player is using, like
X or O. The RESTART command now will reset the scores
and start a whole new game. Also there is a HELP command
that gives you quick information about what each option
on the menu will do.
Keys for use with keyboard (Numlock must be on while using numeric keypad):
To select a menu item, just hit ALT + underlined letter in the choices name.
7 8 9
4 5 6 Hit the number that corresponds to the box you want selected.
1 2 3
This program is just a computerized version of the old game everyone has
played a few times in their lives. Just to make sure you know the rules
still I will give you a short explanation. The object of the game is to
place either an X or O in one of the spaces and try to get three of them
in a row either horizontal, vertical or diagonal. Of course you cannot put
an X or O overtop of a space that contains an X or O already. If you get
tired of the current game you are playing then you should click on the
command RESTART on the menu bar and you will be asked if you would like to
start over, click on YES or NO. Choosing YES will reset the number of games
won and start over. At the bottom of the screen is two info boxes, the top
one tells you whos turn it is, the bottom one tells how many games each
player has one. The menu command ABOUT just gives you a little information
about the program. Selecting EXIT from the menu will pop-up a small window
asking if you are sure you wish to quit. There is also a menu choice called
Help that will give you help on commands. To place an X or O in a space all
you have to do is click on it, if you try to put one in a space that is
already filled you will hear a little clicking sound that means that you
can't put one there. When someone gets three in a row another small window
comes up and declares the winner and asks you if you would like to play
again, and if you answer YES you should notice at the bottom of the main
windows in the info box the number increases for the number of times a
person has won. Player 1 is O's and Player 2 is X's. The only thing I ask
you to do if you use this program and like it a little bit or have some
comments or problems then either send me a letter with your name, address
and phone number or leave me a message on the BBS listed at the end of this
document and from then on you will be informed of new versions and new
programs. This is one of my first programming projects in a Windows type
environment. Also please contact me if you have any suggestions for any
type of improvements on future versions. The following is info on the BBS:
