lines -- Command Highly amusing board game /usr/games/lines lines is an interactive COHERENT version of a two-player board game by Claude Soucie called Lines of Action. The screen displays the game board with ``X'' and ``O'' characters marking the positions of the pieces. To see the rules of the game, type ``r'' and then press <Enter>. To see the available interactive commands, type ``h'' and press <Enter>. Two players can use lines to keep track of a game between them by moving with the ``M'' command. Alternatively, one player can play against the computer by moving with the ``m'' command. The program uses a tree-search technique to consider possible moves; the player can vary the speed of the program's replies with commands that change the tree search width and depth. For a more detailed description of Lines of Action, see A Gamut of Games by Sid Sackson (New York, Random House, 1969). See Also commands
