Abalone 1.3 This is a Board Game Mactivity's CD-ROM nr 10 advice: This application did run on a b/w 68030 processor under System 7.1. It was also tested on a big ColorScreen of a PowerMacintosh running System 7.1.2. The game was also tested on a Quadra with 68040 processor and a 13 inch Color Screen and System 7.1 by Mactivity. Abalone® is a very nice commercially available stratetic board game for two or three players. If you don't know the game, read the explanation of the rules in the About box. This program is a freeware (but ©) Macintosh implementation of Abalone. Each of the two or three Abalone players can be humans (local or remote on the network) or Macs, so you can use the program - in 'demo mode' (all Mac players), - to play against the Mac (one Mac player and one human player [you]), - to play against others, either using one Mac or using two or three networked Macs. Currently, four different but similar strategies can be chosen for a Mac player, and each strategy can be played at several different levels. More strategies may be implemented in the future; good ideas for this are welcome. If your idea sounds promising and is easy to implement, I probably will do so some day.
