netToe it is a text based Tic Tac Toe game playable over the Internet.
You can play it against computer AI, a player on the same machine or
against another player over the network. (Internet, LAN etc.).
I think it's best to play it against a friend over Internet while you're
chatting with him in IRC or ICQ or something like that.
Yet nettoe is just a classic Tic Tac Toe game (well yes, it is playable
over the network ) this is not so good I know. But what I didn't tell you
is that netToe is going to be enahnced a lot with cool features...
( A GUI version of netToe is also in development ).
If you dislike such games but you are interested in C programming,
or in Socket programming, then you can take a look at the source code.
Well OK let's stop that.
For information on how to build or install netToe please read the
INSTALL file include with the source package.
-----== [ HOW TO PLAY ]==-----
I think you don't need any information on how to play a Tic Tac Toe game.
That's why I'm only going to explain how to play nettoe with another
player over the Internet or a LAN.
- First decide who will host the game. (you or your friend/opponent)
- Now the one who is going to host the game must (do the following):
1. run nettoe (Doh)
2. choose the option 3 (Two players over network) from the Main Menu
3. choose the option 1 (Host the Game) from the Network Game Menu
4. type in his name or nickname (NO BLANK SPACES ALLOWED).
5. comunicate the IP address to the other player.
( hostname also works... if resolved, of course)
( I hope you know how to get your IP address...)
6. Just wait for the other player to connect to your host.
- Now for the other player (the one who is going to connect to the hosted
game ):
1. run nettoe (really ?, Yaeh relly.)
2. choose the option 3 (Two players over network) from the Main Menu
3. choose the option 2 (Connect to a host) from the Network Game Menu
4. type your name or nickname (NO BLANK SPACES ALLOWED).
5. type in the IP address of the host or the hostname.
IP address example: 192.168.0.5, ::1
Hostname example : myfriend.hostname.com (must be a valid hostname)
6. Just wait for the game to start .
Enjoy. And if you have any problem just let me know.
