1. Introduction

Gnect is a "Four In A Row" game for GNOME. The object of the game is to build a line of four of your counters while trying to stop your opponent (human or computer) building a line of his or her own. A line can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.

Gnect has two computer-driven players. One's very simple - it's included to provide a fun opponent for young children. The other is driven by Giuliano Bertoletti's Velena Engine. The Velena Engine takes a much more sophisticated approach; its strongest level is unbeatable if it makes the first move.

To run Gnect, select + + + + + ->Games+ + + + + + + ->Gnect+ + + + + from the Main Menu, or type gnect on the command line.

Gnect is included in the gnome-games package, which is part of the GNOME desktop environment. This document describes version 1.4.2 of Gnect.
