You have three pieces; you're trying to stop the computer from moving its one piece past your pieces. This is one of those computer-learning games; after a few games, the computer should be able to consistently beat you.<\/p>\n<p>Entirely unrelated: the <a href=\"http:\/\/woodgears.ca\/eyeball\/index.html\">Eyeballing Game<\/a> gives you a series of dynamic diagrams in which you have to eyeball the midpoint of a line segment, or the ray that bisects an angle; you drag a point around on your screen, and let go when you think you're on target. It shows you how close you got; your total score is the average across three rounds of the series of diagrams. My best score is 3.24 (lower is better), but plenty of people regularly get scores between 2 and 3, and sometimes even lower. (Note that if your monitor's aspect ratio isn't what the game expects, you may have a hard time with this one.)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple games that&#8217;ve been sitting around in my browser windows: The so-called &#8220;French Military Game&#8221; is a Java version&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11669\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
