Marks--Chris wants X's and Squares, that fantastic game we all played as
children.  I kinda think that's retarded...his reasoning is that squares are

My concern with drawing circle is some may do it the hard way and the game will
take too long.  Although the slowest part is probably trying to read where the
opponent draw their X or O.

If a bot miss-read because the opponent's last drawing is off center or not dark
enough, who's at fault?

Can I pre-install different drawing apparatus for X or O between different
games?  Can the bot carry more than 1 marker?

Size--Lotsa debate on this.  Chris wants smaller, John, Derek and I think it
should be larger (somewhere around 1.5 to 2 inches.

Go large to give the judges and audiances a chance to see what's going on.

We need to finalize a "timed" game and or would each "round" (...) (18 years ago, 14-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
