Try not to place the circles near the center too soon. You should be spending the first few turns spacing them out around the edges, which later forms opportunities to create terraces and walls that will trap the kitty. This may be counter-intuitive to someone who's played, say, chess, which emphasizes central control, but should make a lot of sense to someone who's played Go, which emphasizes edge and corner control. >>> g.gandalf@lycos.com (Gandalf) wrote in news:47747665.12576593 >>> @news.iphouse.com: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > sense to someone who's played Go, which emphasizes edge and corner > control. Excellent! I sent this link to a friend of mine, and at first she said it was "dastardly". I told her my one and only insight about the game, which is that if you get into that thing where the cat is one step behind you diagonally, and every time you hit the next dot, the kitty jumps to the one right behind you, *it's going to win*. Foregone conclusion. She wrote back and said, "That was very helpful, I have now won twice. But when I won, I then felt bad about boxing the kitty in." LOL! Joyce >I hate that little brat!!! :) It's always faster and smarter than I am. > >Joyce > >(I'm talking about this: > http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/chatnoir/chatnoir.html ) What a cute game! I just tried it out, and it looks like the kitty heads for the nearest open spot, so you can make it waste a lot of tempos heading down one path, cut it off at the last minute, and have it waste the same number of turns getting back, and in the meantime, you've boxed it in. :) > What a cute game!

And a pox upon zaax ;-) I could not keep the little bugger in no matter what I did. I'll keep trying. Of course. lol!

Yup. Tak has also kindly put the intructions for downloading and playing the games as a text file youcan read on the site.

I got to level 35 or so, before I couldn't fit all the dots on my screen.

After what seems like a million games, I finally managed to trap the begger - although it helps if the green dots at the start of the game are in a good configuration. A very good, addictive game. Wouldn't rate it as good as Bubbels, but amusing none the less. Anyone got any other flash gmaes of infuriation they wish to share? Yowie > FINALLY!!!!

Wouldn't rate it as good as Bubbels, but > amusing none the less. It's addictive and very adreno-genic. I don't know why. But I'll bet I'm not playing that in 5 years. I still play Bubbels because I find it relaxing. Sure, sometimes it's very frustrating. But often, I get into a Bubbel Zone and totally space out. I've even been known to nearly fall asleep while playing it. Also, Bubbels is about the *colors*. I totally get into which color combo I'll end up with toward the end. I hate ending up with an ugly combination (eg, pink and orange), whereas I can happily spend 20 minutes in three- color hell, if those colors are, say, orange and the two blues. ("Three-color hell": when there are three colors left on the screen for what seems like hours.) With Chat Noir, I kind of feel like my friend did. It drove her nuts that she couldn't trap the cat. Then when she finally did, she felt bad about trapping the poor kitty. I think the game should allow a way for players to give the cat a little treat when they win. :) Joyce SignatureTo send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my user name. > > FINALLY!!!!

And yes, the 'win' screen should surely be giving hte kitty some food or getting an 'all clear' at the vet's. Yowie
