!O_X_O 1.00 (25 May 1990) - By Tim Gladding, © DuckSoft 1990.
[ Note from Tim on Wednesday, 22 Feb 1995... Please don't laugh at this
piece of coding... this was FIVE years ago.. I was only 15 at the time..
this was one of the first RISC OS multi-tasking apps I'd ever written...
its crap, but it works... I've not edited anything since apart from this
small note here... I know what you're thinking.. it makes me go EEK!
when I look at it too.. :-) Thanks. - stimpy@gladding.demon.co.uk ]
This is a multi-tasking Desktop version of the very famous game of Noughts
and Crosses. It's very easy to play. Once loaded click on the iconbar icon
to open the game window. Now just click where you want to go. If you are
playing 'Against Arc' the computer will place the next 'O' and wait for you
to click again. If you are playing 'Two Players' player 2 must take over
the mouse and click where they want there 'O' to appear.
For information on 'Against Arc' and 'Two Players', see below.
!O_X_O only has a small menu tree so here is what it does.
Info This sub-window gives information on this version of !O_X_O.
About This sub-window explains about !O_X_O.
Players Leads to the 'Players' sub-menu to set the number of players.
New Game Selecting this will reset the board back to it's empty state.
☓ Quit This quit's !O_X_O. (What else!).
Players sub-menu:
Against Arc This is the default and let's you play against the Archimedes.
Two Players When this is selected you must click for both 'X' and 'O'
making it possible to play with 'Two Players'!.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notices (As on 25 May 1990):
When plaing 'Two Players' the computer does not detect when you get a
'*** A Draw ***' situation. Just use 'New Game' on the menus to re-start.
