Four Win
Description

To program the play named "four win", the background board should
consist of a lattice with 7 columns, into which in each case 6 stones
fit. The playing field stands perpendicularly, so that a stone falls
always widen-possible downward.
The rules are :
1. The goal of the Game is to place four stones in a row or column wise
or diagonally as a first player.
2. Each player receives 21 stones of his colour (pink/green).
3. The green player begins.

4. The player lets a stone fall alternating into a row.
5. If no more places are in a row, then this may not be selected.
6. Winner will be the player, who can accommodate first four stones in
a continuous manner (horizontally, vertically, diagonally).
7. If the backboard is full and there is no certain winner, then the
play ends undecided.
For a better understanding go to:

http://www.kielack.de/games/fourwins.htm
The program is to cover the following capability characteristics:

· Play between two human players.
· Play between a human and a computer player.
· Play between two computer players.
· Each player is to extend the abstract class ,,Player ", which is
available on the practical course web pages for the Download.

· One can make Screenshots simply by pressing the key at the same
time ,,pressure/print screen "and/or <Altand ,,pressure/print
screen "(the screen and/or the active window copies as diagram into
the intermediate file, so that these can be inserted in Word over
Edit->Past as picture directly).

· The aim for this program is to show as simple text edition as
shown in the example TicTacToe (see C++ program
simpleTicTacToe.cpp).
· In the simplest case the computer player can make coincidental
courses (see C++ program zufallszahlen.cpp (RandomNumbers). A more
intelligent strategy for the computer player can be programmed
according to the mini max algorithm (e.g. see.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimax_algorithm). An improved variant
for this algorithm is the alpha beta search (e.g. see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-Beta).

Well, since the OP hasn't even decided for a language yet (comp.lang.c++ and
comp.lang.c are mutually exclusive...) I don't think there is much code to
view. Therefore, the right group for this is probably
alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ - follow-up set accordingly.

To the OP: please read the FAQ of that group before posting there (or,
rather, in any group before you post there), it also features some info on
homework assignments.

Well, he's pasted his assignment into the Babelfish, selected "German
to English" and clicked "Translate". Credit where credit's due ;-)

I _thought_ it looked suspiciously like "How to Spiel Halma" ;-)

"This seemed to be pretty straightforward: At this Game 2 or 4 Persons
can betake themselves and each of them wears a Colour and damn it, when
2 Persons play, a big house with 19 stones, when 4 Persons play, he
besets a little House with 13 stones. [Jennings took “damn it� to be
an idiomatic way of saying that the real way to play this game is with 4
Persons. Of course, if you must you can play with 2 Persons, but, damn
it, it's a pretty poor show. His friend insisted that damit means with
that or therewith, but this didn't seem to make any more sense.]"

You need to visit comp.lang.a for a game programming questions.
