Quarters is a strategy game for two players.
Although its rules are relatively simple, it still
offers some of the same opportunities for skill as
in chess. This program was originally conceived in
the summer of 1986 during a study of the mini-max
algorithm for chess playing computers, and was
thus designed to offer some of the same type of
strategies. The game was originally written in
BASIC, then ported to Turbo Pascal, then to C, and
finally to Java. The Java version is not
necessarily object oriented, since it is a crude
port from the C version.
