Four wins

+ How do you play "four wins" ? + +

+Four wins is a game for two player. +Each player is represented by a colour (yellow and red). +The goal of the game is to get four connected pieces of your +colour into a row, column or any diagonal. +This is done by placing one of your pieces into any of the +seven columns. +A piece will begin to fill a column from the bottom, i.e. it +will fall down until it reaches the ground level or another stone. +After a move is done it is the turn of the other player. This is +repeated until the game is over, i.e. one of the players has +four pieces in a row, column or diagonal or no more moves are possbile +because the board is filled. +

+ +

+ The board +

The board is separated into three regions.

+ +

The game board:
+It is constructed out of 7x6 fields which will be filled from bottom +to top. The fields are marked in the colour of the player who made the +current move.
+On top of each column a coloured arrow shows were the last piece had been +put. +
+
The status display:
+The status display shows which player colour starts and which colour is +played by whom (player,computer,remote connection). It further shows the +level of the computer opponent, the number of moves done as well as the +computer calculated chance of winning. This chance is calculated only if +the computer opponent makes a move. A positive number means that the player +has an advantage, a negative number means that the computer thinks +he is better. +
+
The table display:
+Here the number of won, lost and drawn games is noted for both player. +Also the number of aborted games (Brk) and the sum of games is shown. +

+
Send remote message...:
+Opens a dialog window which lets you send a message to a remote player. +
+
Hint
+The computer will calculate the best possible move and mark it with a small +circle on the board. +How good the move is depends on the level of the computer.

+ The Options menu +

Startcolour
+Determines which colour has the first move.
+
Yellow played by
+Choose here who shall play for the yellow side. This can either be +the local player, the computer or a remote player. Connecting to +a remote host will pop up a conenction dialog which is explained +later.
+During game only the player who is not moving can be changed. +
+
Red played by
+This is analogous to the yellow side. It is possible that there are +two local players just as the computer can take both local players. +Only one remote player is possible though. If the client does +not choose one remote player he will be asked as soon as a connection +is built. It does not matter what colour the remote side +chooses. If both remote parties choose to play the same colour the +computer will handle this and transform the other players colour +appropriately! +
+
Level
+The level determines who well the computr plays. A higher level makes +the computer play better but think longer. For levels larger than 5 or 6 +you need a fast computer! +
+
Change Names
+Change the names of the two players. The names will be saved and reloaded +in the next game! +
+
Network server
+If this menu item is selected your computer tries to behave as +game network server. This is of course only of any importance if +you are doing a network game. +Only the computer acting as server will be able to start a new game +or transfer a started game to the client's side. +
+If both computers want to be server or none of them it is randomly +selected. +
+

+ +

+ The Help menu +

This menu displays the help text as well as information +about the program and the operation system.

+ + +

+ Remote connections +

+ +It is possible to play the game over a network connection +with another computer. To do so both player on both computers +have to select one colour played by a human player and the +other by the remote player. Who chooses which colour does not +matter. It even does not matter if both choose to play the same +colour as this will transparentely be interchanged by the game. +

+One of the computers will act as game server. Only this one can +start a nbew network game. Also all its game data will be transfered +to the client computer. This includes games already in play - this +means a remote player can join a game already begun. Who will be +server can be selected by the network server menu item in +the options menu. If both choose to be server or client the game +randomly selects one. +

+ +When a network connection is build you are ask to enter a remote +host and a port. The port can usually just been left untouched. But +if you now what you do replace it by another number, which has to +be the same in both player games of course. The hostname should be +the name of the remote host to which you are connecting. Only one +of the two players has to supply a hostname, the other one need not +to, but can. +
