Bugs and (Mis)features:

The current status of this entry is:

STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix
STATUS: missing or dead link - please provide them

For more detailed information see 1996 jonth bugs.

To use:

./jonth :0 :0

NOTE: the two boards will be on top of each other so you will have to drag one off the other so that you can properly play.

NOTE: if there is no X service open this will crash. If this is the case you might try:

./jonth

These are supposed to happen. As is written in the The Jargon File:

That's not a bug, that's a feature.

Try:

./jonth host1:0 host2:0

Judges’ remarks:

For extra credit, figure out how you can cheat by taking over a square already occupied by an opponent.

Author’s remarks:

This is multi-user tic-tac-toe for X Windows. You may give one or two X displays as arguments to this game.

Known bugs:

Sometimes on Solaris, X gets confused and this program core dumps. The solution: give two display arguments (./jonth host:0 host:0).

If one (or both) windows look like a copy of the window(s) below, try xrefresh(1) command.

Have a nice(1) day.
