Hi-Q
This is a simple implementation of the board game Hi-Q.
The original is played on a plastic board with pegs placed in
holes in a cross pattern as shown.
The object is to remove all but one the of the pegs by jumping
the pegs from one hole over another peg as in checkers. The
peg jumped over is removed. A perfect score is one peg left
in the center hole. This version just replicates the board
and movements. It does not provide any logic or hints for the
player. Use the right and left mouse buttons as explained on
the game screen. The program must be name HIQ.PRG to work.
It must also be run in low resolution only.
It was written in GFA Basic and compiled. The board is a
picture drawn with Degas Elite. I was able to combine the
program and picture files into one so that the program does
not need to access any external files. If anyone is interested
in the trick leave me a message on either Genie or Compuserve
and I will explain how to do it without Data statements.
