Abalone is a NeXTSTEP 3.3 implementation of the famous game.
The purpose of the game is to push at least six of the opponent's balls outside of the board. You can push them with a row of your own balls. A row of two balls can push one ball of the opposite color; a row of three balls can push one ball or a row of two balls of the opposite color. Balls can be moved by rows of one, two or three, in any of the six directions, one step at a time. A row can push only along its axis, one step at a time too. Black balls begin.
Abalone is available with the GPL license. You may download the NeXTSTEP 3.3 (Motorola and Intel) application or the sources. blib contains needed libraries. Some hand tuning of the makefiles and environment variables may be needed. I'm sorry, I don't have a NeXTSTEP 3.3 environment anymore.

They are not programs for MS-DOS or MS-Windows ; there probably exist versions of Abalone for those systems, but I don't know them, and I'm not interested in them.
