WBTicTacToe v2.0.0.4 (11-Jul-15) (c)2015 Rob Cranley robcranley@gmail.com www.robthenerd.com About WBTicTacToe ================= WBTicTacToe is a take on the basic Tic-Tac-Toe game, which allows for larger boards, and boards with 3 or 4 dimensions. It runs on any Workbench screen with 8 colours or more (though larger boards will need higher resolution screens to fit). 3 dimensional boards allow straight lines in any direction, even diagonally up and down. 4 dimensional boards also allow straight lines across the board at different timepoints. 2 players can play, or one can play against a CPU player with adjustable difficulty. Screenshots and more info available on my website: http://www.robthenerd.com/wbtictactoe This is a complete rewrite of an old game I wrote on my Amiga many years ago and recently rediscovered. The old version had no AI player and the graphics weren't very good at all, and it doesn't work on newer machines. This version includes AI, better graphics, and support for the more modern systems. Once the new Amiga version was finished, I decided to try a Windows port. Turns out porting from AmiBlitz to VB.net isn't that difficult, although it does highlight some of the limitations of both AmiBlitz and .Net! Anyway, this is the Windows port. The name WBTicTacToe remains from the Amiga version, WB standing for Workbench, the Amiga's standard desktop environment. Requirements ============ WBTicTacToe is a very simple little game, it should run on any Windows machine out there. It's been tested on Windows XP and Windows 7 and requires the .Net 2.0 runtime installed to work (but everyone should already have a much newer version that that installed...) Installation and Usage ====================== There are two options for using WBTicTacToe: Installer Package ----------------- This method comes as a standard MSI installer package. Just download it, run the installer and WBTicTacToe will be installed, ready to go. A shortcut will be added to your Start menu in All Programs->RobTheNerd->WBTicTacToe. Zip File -------- WBTicTacToe does not actually need to be installed at all if you have the .Net runtime installed. If you don't wish to install it, just download the Zip file instead, unpack it wherever you want, and run the WBTicTacToe.exe that you find inside. This version is effectively "portable". Please note that with either method, Windows will probably give you a warning about untrusted software or some such. If you trust me, this can be safely ignored and WBTicTacToe will work just fine. Thanks for trying out WBTicTacToe, if you have any feedback (good or bad) about this game, or any questions regarding its usage, please let me know: robcranley@gmail.com Rob :) http://www.robthenerd.com History ------- 2.0.0.4 (11-Jul-15) Initial public release for Windows
