💖 four-in-a-row(6) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Games Manual section (that's the (6) btw, iykyk) and it's literally all about the game four-in-a-row for GNOME. yes THE four-in-a-row. the marble one. the iconique one. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Four-in-a-Row — a four-in-a-row game for GNOME. that's it, that's the name, short and sweet and honestly? slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

four-in-a-row [OPTION...]

like, you just run it. optionally with options. we'll get to that.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the whole point of the game — the entire vibe, the main character energy of it all — is that you're tryna build a line of four of your marbles. that's the goal. that's the dream. 🫶

but here's the twist bestie: you also have to stop your opponent from building a line of their own. and your opponent can be a human or a computer, so no matter what you're gonna be fighting for your life out there 💀

and the line? it can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. so like... every direction is fair game. no escaping. good luck babes ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

listen, this program is lowkey chill about options. it only accepts the standard GNOME and GTK options. that's it. no secret extra flags, no hidden lore, no easter eggs in the flag list. the standard ones. periodt. 👑
