Dotman's Connecting Dots

Connecting Dots

Remember the game of Dots? Well now there's a windows version. But first a little history.

In 1982 I programmed a version of Dots for the Radio Shack TRS80 Model III. Then in 1990 I finally decided to rewrite it for the PC under DOS adding a few more features. Now in 2002 guess what I decided it was time for a windows version, how's that for procrastination.

Connecting Dots is a two player game which consists of a matrix of dots which form a rectangular playing field. Each player, in turn, draws a line between two adjacent dots. The line may be either horizontal or vertical. If a box is formed by the line, the player scores a point and receives another turn. When the playing field has been completed, the player with the highest score wins. While Connecting Dots is a 2 player game, this computer version allows one or both players to be the computer. Some of the features of the game are:

• Maximum grid size based on window size.
• Change color of background and grid.
• Start the game at the point where boxes will be formed.
• Get a hint from the computer for your next move.
• 3 levels of computer intelligence.
• Save an in progress game.
• Open a saved game.
• Turn sound on and off.
