Cluster
By Karl Hörnell, March 2001
This game is basically a 3D tic-tac-toe, except that the rules have been changed to keep the first player from
winning all the time. Here you have to form two rows that meet at a right angle (in the shape of an "L").
You play with blue marbles. Your opponent -- the computer -- plays with red ones.
Click somewhere inside the grid to place a temporary (gray) marble. You can move it around by dragging it with
the mouse. To rotate the entire grid, in order to get a better view, drag somewhere outside it. When you are satisfied
with the marble's position, double-click and it becomes permanent. Then it's the computer's turn. And so on.
The "Skill" buttons control how hard the computer thinks. Higher button means greater skill. Click
the reset button (lower left) when you want to start over.
