Naughts and Crosses

Naughts and Crosses is a simple tic-tac-toe game that adds an entertaining twist to the classic game. The game has been written in C++ for the console and offers a fully functional one-player mode. The game is designed to be played in short spurts and offers the ability to modify the board size to suit your preferences.

To start playing Naughts and Crosses, you'll need to ensure that you have Allegro 4.2.0 or above installed. Additionally, the binary versions require GLIBC 2.5. For those using Ubuntu, the game requires Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn minimum or any Debian-based distro which supports the minimum versions contained within Feisty.

In the latest release, there have been several improvements to the game. There is now an added check in the configure script to ensure that Allegro 4.2.0 development libraries are installed when compiling the game from source. Additionally, the game now features an additional "kill screen" function that ensures that the desktop resolution is restored when the game exits.

All files except for jamyskissound.wav are checked for existence, and the game will exit cleanly with an error message if necessary. Jamyskissound.wav is not vital to the game, and will not be played if it is absent. Finally, the game can now be installed to any directory from a source install, making the installation process much more convenient.

Overall, Naughts and Crosses is an enjoyable take on the classic tic-tac-toe game, and the added twist makes it all the more engaging. It's a great game for those looking to kill a few minutes or for anyone who enjoys simple, fun games.
