Xquarto is a board game designed for the X windows environment.
|
|
The game is a two-player game, although for the moment, it is only
|
|
possible to play against the computer. The board is composed of
|
|
4x4 squares and 16 pieces. Each piece has four properties: black
|
|
or brown, horizontal or vertical, solid or hollow, round or
|
|
square. This makes up 16 possible combinations and there is
|
|
exactly one piece for each possibility.
|
|
|
|
Initially the board is empty. Now the two players try to place
|
|
out pieces in a way that the opponent has to complete a row,
|
|
column or diagonal with a common property (e.g. all black). This
|
|
makes the opponent lose. The players do not choose what piece to
|
|
put but it is rather player 1 who gives a piece to player 2, who
|
|
then has to place this piece somewhere and choose a piece for
|
|
player 1 to put somewhere etc.
