Hi. Here are three little games with a common goal: completing a square. Not for bad losers.

Hi there, Astrit. Well,thank you. I sure am glad (and somewhat surprised) you liked my work, but the merits go primarily to their authors. Most were trivial to code once a work-around idea was found, though. (I can do trivial only, but I do put good effort in the images making, to compensate for the scripts quality-lacking.) Here are some more, but not too fun. Since you deem them interesting, I might consider publishing some on ZoG's site. Please keep in mind that most of these games are commercial products- my .zrf's and graphics serve a demonstration purpose only. If you like -and can afford (which I can not)- them , please consider a purchase, all the more so since they are mostly superbly designed and masterfully crafted. Cheers and thanks.

Hi, Astrit. It took me some time to recognize the code in your post as an excerpt from Paroxysm Chess' .zrf, a game I designed a decade or more ago and forgot all about. I do remember the blighted thing gave me a hard time, and I have long since lost -or destroyed in disgust- all files, drawings and manuscripts pertaining to it. See if you can make something decent out of it, though. Regarding the second game pack I uploaded above, you may have noticed Otrio was lacking some directions and such- I got entangled in early and later versions of the script and posted an incomplete one (did I not tell you!). Please add these lines where suitable (not that it will make the games any better-balanced): (option "pass-partial" false) for the extended-board variants, and (links dne (a1 e2)(e2 i3)) (links dsw (c3 e2)(e2 g1)) (links dnw (c1 e2)(e2 g3)) (links dse (a3 e2)(e2 i1)) (relative-config Un dne Deux dne Trois)(relative-config Un dsw Deux dsw Trois) (relative-config Un dnw Deux dnw Trois)(relative-config Un dse Deux dse Trois) for all variants. As examples, I am including (hopefully) correct .zrf's in the pack below. Besides, and to make amends, if you are into Tic-tac-toe variants, here is Oquatro on different boards (it is a notched-down abstraction of Quarto Flash, itself basically an extension of Otrio to four pieces.) Even better, here is Tok, a really funny, well-balanced (and hopeless against ZoG; you've been warned) variant of Tic-tac-toe. As for the commercial games you asked about, just make a routine search on the Web. If you did not do already, pay a visit to boardgamegeek.com, they have all the relevant information you seek. Cheers.
