Introduction:

    Ataxx is a strategy game similar to Othello.
    The rules are in ataxx.txt (Help:Rules from the menu).

Making it work:

1.  Edit tkataxx:
	Make sure the first line calls wish version 4.0 properly.
	Make sure the ATAXXDIR variable points to the installation directory.
        (ATAXXDIR is initially set to "." so you can test in the current dir.)
    
2.  Compile the computer player (ctaxx.c).  It is rather generic ansi C code
    and should compile with any ansi C compiler.  I recommend:
	gcc -O2 -o ctaxx ctaxx.c
	strip ctaxx

    There is a list of platforms on which ctaxx has been successfully
    compiled, with the command used, at the beginning of ctaxx.c.


Installation:

1.  Copy the distribution files into a directory such as
    /usr/local/lib/tkataxx

2.  Make sure the ATAXXDIR variable in tkataxx points to the above directory

3.  Move (or link) the tkataxx file to a directory such as
    /usr/local/games
