Rules
The rules are simple. You take turns with another player to drop red or black pieces into the board. Pieces fall in from the top and slide down to stack up on top of each other. The goal is to get 4 of your pieces touching in a straight line (diagonals also count) before your opponent does. This is similar to Tic-Tac-Toe.
Details
This is a 2 player game. Unless you have a split personality, you will need to install a second player (not included) somewhere near your wii.
By default the game only uses one wiimote. If you want the added convenience of a second wiimote, or if the other player has snot on his hands, you can set control TWOWIIMOTES in the settings.ini file.
UPDATE in 1.1:
- Pressing
on the second wiimote will cause control of red to be passed to wiimote 2. (overrides control ONEWIIMOTE )

Settings.ini
If you want, you can put a settings.ini file in the same directory as the game (root of the sd for wiiload) and change some settings through there. This is entirely optional.
You can set how many pieces are needed in a line to win, and adjust the size of the board. See the included settings.ini for more information.
UPDATE in 1.1:
- "You should consider making it Settiiiings.ini, or something to that effect ;)" -- MetaFight 15:33, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
- Now supports either name ;D
Images
Starting in v1.1, you can put custom images into path/images/ and the game will load them. Sample Images. See included readme for more info.

Why the Name?
The main reason I chose this name is that some people think too many programs are being released with ii in their names. Some of these names would normally have nothing to do with the ii sound, but the names were mangled to force an ii into them. I don't really care one way or another. I tend to think of ii as a way to identify the program as a wii program. Anyway, this name was chosen especially because it would get under the skin of certain people :D. Hi guys! You know who you are because you are the ones feeling pissed off right now :P.
If you don't like that excuse, then the 4 dots on the top of iiii represent the 4 pieces you need to line up to win.
