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.
Any suggestions, bug reports, complaints etc. should be sent to
mjo@math.kth.se. Feedback is appreciated!
