Extreme Ataxx
Ataxx is a game of skill, played on a seven tile by seven tile board by
two players, who alternately take turns. Each turn consists of a player
placing a new piece, moving an existing piece, or passing his/her turn,
if no other move is legal. The name Ataxx is taken from the 1990 Leland
arcade game; the origins of the board game, however, can be dated
back to 1988,
and the work of Dave Crummack and Craig Galley on Infection.
My old, yet very strong implementation of Ataxx, called Extreme Ataxx,
has been available for download since I implemented versions 1.00 and
1.01 in 1998 and 1999. The only decent
competition I have found since
then is the implementation of Blobs for Zillions of Games. However,
that is a commercial product.
After
giving the issues due consideration, I decided to make this software
free software. That means you, the user, are entitled to do what you
want with this software once you posess it. You may copy it for
friends, rewrite it, and re-release it, among other things, within
the restrictions of the GNU Public Licence.
Below are links to the software. Please send your comments to me at
