- ===================== GAME2.EXE ==========================================
- You can use this program to beat the microscope puzzle in
- The Seventh Guest game. You can use two computers or run both the Seventh
- Guest (using a PIF) and this program from Windows and switch between the two
- using Alt-TAB. I recommend setting the initial level to 3 or 4 depending
- on the speed of your computer. Minimum requirements: 386DX
- The initial level determines the number of moves the program will look ahead.
- The program isnt perfect but it will win almost all the time. Also, I would
- begin moving at the top lefthand corner.
-
- I have included the C code for any one interested. This program is a good
- example of the recursive minimax (look-ahead,backtracking?) search using
- alpha/beta pruning. Compiled with Borland C 3.1

- Enjoy!
