I.  Introduction
  On the way home from a week long visit to my relatives I created this
tic-tac-toe game in four hours (I spent most of the time on the 1 player
game).  The only downside to the entire game is that its sort of hard to see
who played where.  The nifty part is that this game only takes up 1.7K of
memory and has the unbeatable 1 player vs. calculator mode.  This is an old
classic that I hope you will enjoy.



II.  Installation
  Installation is a snap.  Just copy the file TICTACTO.82P to your calculator
and run it.  Its that simple.



III.  Playing The Game
  Here's the part that will interest you the most.  Actually playing the
game!  To start it, just run the program TICTACTO.  You will be asked if you
want to play the calculator or another human (1 or 2 players respectively).
After that, a tic-tac-toe board will appear on the screen.  When it is your
turn, press the number in the board that corresponds with the slot you want
your X or O.  When the board is filled or someone wins, the game will pause.
Press enter and you will drop back to the home screen.

V.  Conclusion
  This is one of those games that everyone has made just for the fun of it.
The first time I attempted to make tic-tac-toe, I used variables instead of
a matrix.  I never completed the game because it grew to 10K very quickly.
Don't ask why variables instead of matrices because I have no idea why I did
it either.  Anyway, I am now releasing this program as freeware on one
condition...when you transfer it to other calculators, you leave it write
protected.  Otherwise its okay to un-write protect tic-tac-toe.
  This game is just one more way Shining Light Productions is meeting the
needs of fellow programmers!  Enjoy!
