.SH NOTES
|
|
.LP
|
|
The real-life version of connect4 is basically an upright hollow board
|
|
with several vertical columns and windows. Tokens are placed into the
|
|
columns alternately by each player until one of the players has four
|
|
tokens in a row. These four tokens must be adjacent to each other but
|
|
the series of four can be in any direction.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Tokens are placed into a column by typing the number of the column
|
|
printed at the top of the screen.
|
|
.sp
|
|
To exit the game type \fBq\fP or \fBx\fP and \fBctrl-L\fP redraws the screen.
