Tiles Boardgame

During my college days I was introduced to a board game. We used to play that in the breaks, by drawing the board on paper and using two different pens to differentiate the players' pieces.

The board game is a two player game and like tic-tac-toe, but of a larger size. The board is typically a 7x7 square. The goal is for a player to occupy 4 contiguous boxes in the board, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

One day, in my friend Jerine's home, we were test driving VB for the first time and we decided to build this game using VB. In a few hours we had the VB implementation of the game with a very basic computer opponent. It was fun and we did not think about it much after then.

In a sudden rush of nostalgia I thought of implementing that in JS. It is now available in Google code http://tiles-game.googlecode.com Github https://github.com/kkleokrish/tiles-game. The core of the game is in Tiles.js and the HTML files are rudimentary UI on top that, just to visualize the functionality.
