CONNECT by Rassilon
CONNECT is a simple two player game. The object of the game is to
form as many squares of your color as possible. This is done by
each player connecting two adjacent points on alternating turns.
Player 1(blue) always begins the game. Player 2(red), obviously is
second. Use the joystick to move the small square cursor to the
the first point and press the joystick button. A beep will sound
and the cursor will darken in color. At the same time the 2nd
cursor will brighten in color. Again move the bright cursor to the
point you wish the line to end and press the joystick button. The
game will cycle to the next player, who connects two more points.
When a players connection causes closure, the computer will fill it
in with the player's color and that player scores 1 point. If you
score, you get to connect two more points. You continue to move
until your connection fails to score.
Use the SELECT button to rotate about the various options.
Use the OPTION button to change the selected option.
Use the START button to start the game or restart the program.
Turning RANDOM on will result in random connections to be made by
the computer prior to the first turn of the game. This sometimes
results in the blue player receiving a definite advantage. Also,
if a score is formed by the RANDOM option, it can be claimed by
simply redrawing one of the already present sides of the rectangle.
If you change your mind on your move, you can erase that move only
after marking the first point. To do this, simply place the second
square cursor over the first point again, and press the fire button.
You will hear the keyboard buzzer sound to let you know that the
computer has erased your move.
HINTS. This game takes a little more strategy than first expected.
Think about your moves, especially when you are filling in a long
run of scores. That is all that I will say about hints.
I am currently working on a version that will allow you to play
against the computer. If you would like to see such a version,
just drop me some EMAIL.
