#### BINHEX     abalone-13.hqx   ****

From: Peter Tax <ecotax@hacktic.nl>
Subject: No Subject!
Date: Fri, 3 Jun 1994 01:18:46 +0200

This file contains version 1.3 of Abalone for the macintosh.

[archivists: this version can replace earlier versions.]

Program description:
--------------------
Abalone for the Macintosh supports two- and three-player games.
Each of the players can be a human player, the Mac or a net player.
A net player can either be a remote human player or a remote Mac.
You can play abalone almost any way you can think of, for example:
- solitaire against your Mac
- a three-player network game
- in 'demo' mode (Mac vs. Mac [vs. Mac])
- in 'Turing Test' mode: try to guess which of the two net players
  is the remote human player, and which the Power Macintosh 9100/200.

Changes since version 1.1:
--------------------------
- Native on Power Macintoshes.
- Added network play option.
- recoded my favourite strategy in assembly.
- nicer graphics for color Mac owners.
- minor bug fixes.

Requirements:
-------------
Any Mac running System 7.x (6.x won't do), min. 200k free RAM.
(two of these Macs and some cabling for network play.)

For those who don't know about Abalone:
---------------------------------------
Abalone is a board game for two (usually) or more players.
The original game is played on a nice-looking hexagonal board
with coloured marbles on it.
The object of the game is to push off your opponents marbles, much
like a sumo wrestler tries to push his opponent out of the ring.
You may only push your opponents marbles in a certain direction
if you are 'stronger', that is you have more marbles lined up.

Subject: achi.hqx 

Enclosed is a Stuffit 1.5.1 archive containing an Achi game
program that I wrote. The program is freeware and can be run
on any Macintosh computer. It requires 230K of memory and is
32-bit clean.

Achi is a board game for two people. You can play against
the computer or against another person. It is similar to
tic-tac-toe, except that you get to move your pieces after
you put them all down.

Documentation is available online and as a "read me" file.

From: Aaron Barnett <C2MXBAR@FRE.TOWSON.EDU>
Subject: [*] backgammon.hqx 



  This file is to replace one sent a few days ago, whose premature release
was not without bugs  (like quitting without explaination on non-color
macs, it should now run on a non-color mac as well)

sorry.

Once again, here is backgammon.
Please remove the archive backgammon.hqx and replace it with this one.

From: Adam Miller <AMILLER@YaleVM.YCC.Yale.Edu>
Subject: Backstab 

Backstab 1.0
Copyright Adam Miller 1992

This is an excellent implementation of a board game commonly called Ataxx, an
interesting game which looks easy but is tricky to master.  Backstab has color
graphics, animation in black & white and color, digitized sound, well documented
help, a large selection of computer opponents (from the very easy to a level
that IUve never beaten), a large selection of pre-made boards, option for human
vs. human play as well as computer vs. computer, and much more.

But what really makes this implementation unique is its flexible expandability.
With extreme ease people you can create new boards with Resedit or some such
tool, which is fun, but the real challenge is writing your own computer players.
This is fun, challenging, and easy to do in your favorite programming language.
Just build them as a code resource and copy them into the Backstab file.  It
will automatically add them to the computer menu, and youUre ready to go.

                           one shot per turn, one shot per ship, and

32 bit clean, sys 7.0 compatible, color\b/w, etc.

You are free to copy and pass along the game as long as the original
files remain intact (excluding the great scores list).

Chess Set!
A simple chess set stack by Matthew Blain, v1.1 of 10/31/93.
 
This stack is a chess set for your computer. It does not play
chess, or even make many restrictions on how you can move the
pieces around. Instead it lets you setup and save games, or
play with a friend over an AppleTalk network via Apple Events.
You can even make your own chess board if you want... The 
stack is freely modifiable and I will probably allow you 
to distribute it in any way you want!

Subject: [*]ChessWriter 4.1s submission 

This is the latest shareware version of ChessWriter (4.1s). It should
replace ChessWriter 4.02s, which is currently in the /game directory of the
archives.

ChessWriter is a shareware chess editor, written by Bill Orton, for whom I
am uploading it. The package includes special chess fonts used in display
and print. Note that the shareware version expires 12/31/93, but is
otherwise fully-featured. Upon registration (see about box for details) you
will receive a long-term version of the program as well as a full manual. I
believe that most people will find the manual necessary to fully understand
and utilize all of the program's features.

Just as when I uploaded 4.02, I'll give the archiver the decision as to
whether this should go into /game or /demo (because of the time limit). In
either case, the old version should be deleted when this one is archived.

(The files, saved from Sargon III, are stuffed with Stuffit v.1.5.1 
and encrypted with BinHex 4.0; victors' names are in brackets for 
each file)

  Enclosed are most of the games from the recent Fischer-Spassky 
rematch, part one, which took place in the luxurious Adriatic resort 
of Sveti Stefan in Sept. 1992. Play will resume in Belgrade in early 
October (since Fischer took a 5 - 2 lead).  Games 2 and 3 are 
missing, but both ended as draws.

  Fischer considers the match the world championship because he 
never acknowledged the decision of the International Chess Federation 
to strip him of his title in 1975 for refusing to play Soviet 
challenger Anatoly Karpov.  The current Federation champion is 
Garri Kasparov; observers of the present match say that the 
level of play is far below that of Kasparov.

  To heighten the intrique, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has 
declared the tournament a violation of U.N. sanctions against Serbia-
Montenegro (which calls itself Yugoslavia) for provoking civil war 
in attacking neighboring Bosnia-Herzegovina, and warned 
Fischer that he could be fined $250,000 and sentenced to 10 
years in prison.  At a news conference prior to the 
tournament, Fischer spat on the Treasury Dept. letter.

  Many thanks to the Reuters and Associated Press news services for 
releasing the moves from each game, and to the San Diego Union-
Tribune for printing those results.

Flippant is yet another board game in which your movements turn your

of one) duplicates your piece and converts all adjacent pieces.  Moving two
squares has the same effect, without duplicating the moved piece.

Flippant is wildly affordable shareware ($5), cheaper than lunch.
Please support shareware!  See the README file for details.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Please, find attached GNU Shogi 1.1E for the Macintosh (based on UNIX 
version 1.1 patch level 02).

GNU Shogi plays Shogi, the Japanese equivalent of Chess. The main 
differences between Shogi and Chess are: 1) captured pieces can be dropped 
again by the captor, and 2) almost all pieces can promote. This makes for a 
very aggressive game, which (contrary to western chess) gets more 
interesting and complicated towards the end.

Requirements: Macintosh with 68020 or better. System 6.0.7 or later. 600 KB 
disk space. GNU Shogi itself needs 1.2 MB RAM. The program comes with a 
rules document, a set of openings, etc. GNU SHOGI is written by Matthias 
Mutz. Kazuhiko Seki added a Mac graphical user interface.

Enjoy !

GNU Shogi gaijin patch

This patch was designed to make it easier for English-speaking
beginners to learn how to play Shogi (a.k.a. "Japanese chess").
It contains a new set of pieces that are marked with their
English names, so you can learn the strategy of Shogi instead
of learning to recognize the pieces.

When you un-binhex and un-stuff this archive, you will find one
file. This file is both a brief "ReadMe" text file and a resource
file containing the resources for the patch. Just open the file
and (a copy of) the Gnu Shogi application in ResEdit and copy
over all resources.

If anyone wants to make a simpler patch out of this (like an
application that you can just double-click and go, instead of
having to use ResEdit), please do so.

text file onto a graphic chess board. After the chess move is made, post the
text file either on a communication network or on an office environment network,
or simply print out a text file and mail it to a friend.

Note that KnightEdit IS NOT a computer chess game.

Shareware:
Try the program for 15 days. If you continue using it, pay the shareware fee; otherwise, destroy your copy or give it to a friend for a 15 day trial.

 KnightEdit writes and reads long algebraic chess notation to and from text
files.

 You can move the chess pieces on the chess board with the mouse. At the bottom
of the chess board when selected or active, the next turn number with the
appropriate chess piece is shown followed by the board coordinate of the
position of the mouse hand.

 The smart chess board or (AI) allows only a one move turn and only to the the
appropriate space. The smart chess board allows castling, in passing, pawn
exchanging, and error checking when reading text. Also smart chess determines a
check. If there is a checkmate or stalemate, the king cannot move.

 Animate under the Chess Moves Menu allows KnightEdit to animate the moves that
are listed on the text file. If it is desired for any reason to discontinue
animation, simply hold down the mouse button until the animation stops.

 Select Study under the Chess Moves Menu to review all chess moves without altering any text moves. It has a forward and reverse button, and a set and last move button. A quick way to study a game.

 Select Write under the Chess Moves Menu to Re-Write chess moves onto the text file. This option is good to use for rewriting incoming text file from others sources so chess notation is rewritten for KnightEdit compatibility. Also can write short algebraic chess notation by selecting the option in the preference dialog.

 Preference under the Option Menu allows you to save choice of chess piece,
orientation of board, and other options to a preference file. Thus upon starting
KnightEdit program, these option are set to New Files and to Text files. Also if
NOT using for Text Only in preference, options are saved to the text-style file.
The text-style file will set options upon opening, it has precedence over the
preference file.

 There is a print capability. If the text edit window is active while selecting print under the File menu, it will print WYSIWYG. ALSO if the chess board window is active, it will print the chess board.

 Braces {} and carets ^^ are used to manipulate how KnightEdit will read
the move list. KnightEdit will ignore any moves in a set of braces. But if
there is a caret on the immediate right of a left brace, KnightEdit will read
the contents within the braces. If it has two carets, this will indicate to
KnightEdit to continue reading on the the next set of braces that has a caret.
The second caret of the first set is only needed to set the continuation flag
and no others are needed. Also if a caret is placed any where other than on
the right of a left brace, KnightEdit will exit the reading except when
placed within braces without a caret on the right of a left brace.
This is great if you are playing more than one game to a correspondent; it allows KnightEdit to read one game at a time with out getting a read error.

This should replace the version currently in the archives. Please note that I am
NOT the author of this program.  Direct bug reports to Jesse Carpenter (who IS

Network Othello 1.1b2

   This is the second version of Net Othello, which allows several
users to play othello over an AppleTalk network. It allows users to
play several games against different opponents simultaneously and is
fully MultiFinder compatible.  It can run on system 6, or system 7.

Improvements over first version:

  Net Othello now works across AppleTalk zones.  There are also some
internal changes which make it communicate more reliably over the
network.

  There is also a known bug: If you try and register yourself with a
name that someone else is using, you get a dialog prompting you to
enter a new one. After doing this, it bombs :(

  I will work on fixing this one.  Please let me know of other bugs
you find, or suggestions you have.

Lots of people complained that NetRisk 1.0 didn't support multiple zones,
and had a bunch of other annoying problems.  Well, here's version 1.1, which
supports multiple zones, and fixes those other problems.  The on-line help
is a little unconfident about the multiple-zone stuff, but it's worked well
so far.

Otello is a strategy board game named after an opera.  It is not named after a 
certain commercial strategy board game, although there is a vague resemblance 
between the two.  :-)

Otello can play at three skill levels, or it can be used by two people as an 
electronic game board.  If you like, it can suggest what it thinks is the best 
move available at any time.

Please send me a postcard if you enjoy this game.

POLYOMINOES 5.0 README
=======================

19 May 1994

Polyominoes 5.0 is copyright 1990-1994 by Kevin L. Gong.
=====================================================================

And then there was color.

Polyominoes 5.0 is the long-overdue color version of Polyominoes.  A
polyomino is a piece made up entirely of squares connected
edge-to-edge.  For example, a domino is a polyomino with 2 squares.
In Polyominoes, you can use pentominoes, tetrominoes, trominoes,
hexominoes, or create a set of your own pieces using the Piece Editor.

Polyominoes is really three games in one.  In game mode, you have a
very interesting strategy game in which you try to put the last piece
on the board.  The pieces can be flipped or rotated in any manner.
You can use any of the over 60 different boards, or create one of your
own using the Board Editor.  In puzzle mode, you can try to place all
the pieces on any of the boards.  In spanning puzzle mode, you try to
RspanS the board with the fewest number of pieces.  The program keeps
track of all of your best efforts.

Polyominoes is Shareware, $8.00 registration fee.  It should work on
any Macintosh with either System 6 or 7, with or without 32-bit
addressing.  It should work with both color and monochrome monitors.
Note to users with gray scale monitors: you should either play around
with the color settings in the program, or trick it into using
black/white mode.  To make it run in black/white, set your monitor
depth to black/white before running.

Major changes since version 4.0:
    %    color!
    %    another way to rotate/flip pieces
    %    preferences file remembers keyboard and color preferences
    %    options to allow alternating of who goes first, and cycling of boards
    %    640x480 screen support
    %    hexomino pieces added
    %    piece editor to create your own piece sets
    %    probably faster
    %    28 additional boards
    %    new "smart borders" so the boards look nicer
    %    a new tougher level to play against (as if it wasn't hard enough
	 already)

Dear Moderator,

This is a repost of a recent submission of the file Risk_II.sit.hqx.
Please submit this into your info-mac/game directory this last time.   
This is a colorized version (modified using ResEdit) of the old 
black/white Risk!  This makes excellent use of the 256-color
mode of any color Macintosh with a color display.  This has been
corrected of a minor flaw where the OK button in the victory 
dialog window did not work.  It now works.  The color background
was modified slightly for better display on black/white Macs, as
well as the Risk! card backface.  This game still works on the old
black/white Macs, since the modifications are only resources, that
is, the actual game code is still original and unchanged in this 
colorized version.  Therefore, this is not an unauthorized "hack".
It should be noted that though this game does not explicitly
announce anywhere within itself whether or not it is either share-
ware or freeware, one can assume freeware since it has been 
available for downloading on ftp sites for quite some time now.
Hence all credit (c) rightfully belongs to the author of the game:

Antonie J. Engel
60 Pinewood Rd.
Bolton, MA 01740

Since this game now works for both black/white and color Macs,
it is certainly worth it to download.  Enjoy!


         A note to the moderators:  I had a friend submit this game
         on her own account about 4 days ago in the process of 
         showing her how to find the submissions addresses of 
         some of the sites, and how to submit the files for archiving,
         but this time I am just doing it myself, so as not to involve
         her a second time.

--========================_13547616==_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Based on the board game that has been marketed by Milton Bradley
as Mastermind, SuperMind expands the puzzle concept and adds new
challenge.

In the board game version you need two people, one to play and
one to "referee". In this game, the computer takes over the
job of grading your guesses so you can play it like solitare.

The object is to guess a secret pattern of colors (2 to 10 "pegs"
with colors selected randomly from 8) in as few guesses as possible.
The computer grades each guess, and you use the grades as a guide.
You are only allowed 15 guesses, and with a 10-peg pattern this
is just barely enough. ;)

The game includes on-line help on how to play.
Requires at least 256 colors, 4 megs of memory, system 7...
...and good logic skills!
