c4 README file
==============

c4 is a Connect-4 style game.
The idea is to get 4 of your counters in a row whilst preventing your opponent
from doing the same. If you've never played it before, just have a go and
you'll get the idea pretty soon.

The long term strategy employed is based on the work entitled "Expert Play in
Connect-Four" by James D. Allen, although it hardly does it justice. The short
term strategy is based on brute force and ignorance ;-)

If you want to provide a better front end than my crummy efforts, read the
source code for the text front end (c4text.c). It is very simple and should
hopefully explain itself when it comes to employing the functions of the core
code.

Enjoy
