1xvier is a simple game where you and your opponent alternately throw
2stones into free columns. The stones pile up in the columns, and the
3goal is to get four stones in a row, in a column or diagonally. The
4game compiles without modifications at least on

15To install xvier:
16
171. If you use Makefile.std, copy it to Makefile and choose locations
18   for the X11-binary (default: /usr/local/bin), the game program
19   (default: /usr/local/lib), and the manual page (default:
20   /usr/local/man/man6).
21   If you use imake, type "xmkmf" and "make depend".
22
232. Type "make".
24
253. Test the game with "./xvier -prog ./xvier_prog"
26
274. If it works, type "make install" (and "make install.man" with
28   imake).
29
30If you have problems with the compilation, look at the comments in
31Makefile.std or Imakefile.
32
33The game program uses a simple search tree, and the levels correspond
34to the depth of this tree. Thus the higher levels are quite slow, but
35normally I don't need them to get a good opponent ;-)
36It's interesting that level 1 seems to be weaker than level 0.
