Highly amusing board game

/uussrr/ggaammeess/lliinneess

lliinneess is  an interactive COHERENT  version of a  two-player board
game  by  Claude  Soucie  called  _L_i_n_e_s  _o_f _A_c_t_i_o_n.   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 <EEnntteerr>.  To  see the available interactive
commands, type ``h'' and press <EEnntteerr>.

Two players can use lliinneess 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 _L_i_n_e_s _o_f  _A_c_t_i_o_n, see _A _G_a_m_u_t
_o_f _G_a_m_e_s by Sid Sackson (New York, Random House, 1969).
