8 netToe it is a text based Tic Tac Toe game playable over the Internet.
9
10 You can play it against computer AI, a player on the same machine or
11 against another player over the network. (Internet, LAN etc.).
12
13 I think it's best to play it against a friend over Internet while you're
14 chatting with him in IRC or ICQ or something like that.
15
16 Yet nettoe is just a classic Tic Tac Toe game (well yes, it is playable
17 over the network ) this is not so good I know. But what I didn't tell you
18 is that netToe is going to be enahnced a lot with cool features...
19
20 ( A GUI version of netToe is also in development ).
21
22 If you dislike such games but you are interested in C programming,
23 or in Socket programming, then you can take a look at the source code.
24
25 Well OK let's stop that.
26
27 For information on how to build or install netToe please read the
28 INSTALL file include with the source package.

34
35 I think you don't need any information on how to play a Tic Tac Toe game.
36 That's why I'm only going to explain how to play nettoe with another
37 player over the Internet or a LAN.
38
39 - First decide who will host the game. (you or your friend/opponent)
40
41 - Now the one who is going to host the game must (do the following):
42
43 1. run nettoe (Doh)
44 2. choose the option 3 (Two players over network) from the Main Menu
45 3. choose the option 1 (Host the Game) from the Network Game Menu
46 4. type in his name or nickname (NO BLANK SPACES ALLOWED).
47 5. comunicate the IP address to the other player.
48 ( hostname also works... if resolved, of course)
49 ( I hope you know how to get your IP address...)
50 6. Just wait for the other player to connect to your host.
51
52 - Now for the other player (the one who is going to connect to the hosted
53 game ):
54
55 1. run nettoe (really ?, Yaeh relly.)
56 2. choose the option 3 (Two players over network) from the Main Menu
57 3. choose the option 2 (Connect to a host) from the Network Game Menu
58 4. type your name or nickname (NO BLANK SPACES ALLOWED).
59 5. type in the IP address of the host or the hostname.
60 IP address example: 192.168.0.5, ::1
61 Hostname example : myfriend.hostname.com (must be a valid hostname)
62 6. Just wait for the game to start .
