RULES OF THE GAME
Play is on an 8 by 8 grid of squares.
Moves can either be made at the
keyboard, or you can use joysticks -
keyboard and joystick controls are
described later.
In this game each player aims to remove
the other's pieces from the board, and
the game is won when pieces of only one
colour remain.
a. Draughts can be moved diagonally
over the squares of the same colour.
In each players turn one piece can
be moved. Normally a piece may only
be moved one square at a time.
b. Initially pieces must only move
forwards, but once a piece has
reached the opponent's edge of the
board that piece becomes a 'KING'
which can move backwards as well.
c. If a diagonal move is obstructed by
your opponent's piece, but an empty
square lies beyond the obstructing
piece then you can (in fact, you
must !) leapfrog the piece, and
thereby 'take' it. i.e. you move two
squares and the piece you jump over
is removed from the board.
d. If you have just taken an opponent's
piece but from your new position it
is possible to jump over yet another
piece, you must do this as well.
Hence in a single turn you could end
up moving 4 squares and removing 2
pieces or moving 6 squares and
removing 3 pieces etc.
e. If you can make a jump, then you
must chose to move the piece that
can jump, and move it until no
further jumps can be made. Otherwise
your opponent has the following
options:
a) insist you make a given jump
b) ignore the fact
c) 'Huff' a piece that could jump
(i.e. remove it from the board)
PLAYING THE GAME
Once the game is loaded into the
computer you are asked to select a
skill level. Input a number between 1
and 8 and then press RETURN. Level 1 is
the simplest level, in which the
computer replies to your moves almost
immediately. Playing on level 8,
however, the time taken for the
computer to respond is far longer i.e.
several minutes.
Next you will be asked whether you want
to go first. If you say 'YES' ('Y' will
do) followed by RETURN then you are
automatically 'red' and the computer
plays the white pieces. If you choose
not to go first then you play white so
that whoever goes first plays the red
pieces.
YOUR MOVE
(If you are using keyboard controls...)
The computer will prompt you first for
the piece to be moved; if you have
chosen to move first then you will see
the first prompt at the bottom of the
screen:
Move from
Here you must specify the square you
wish to move from.
Choose a piece that can move forwards
(diagonally) and type in its row number
followed by its column number.
You are now prompted for the
destination square with:
Move to
Enter the row and column numbers for
your destination square as a two-digit
number, and then press RETURN, and this
will complete the move.
(If you have joystick controls...)
1. move the cursor to the square you
wish to move from
2. press the Fire button
3. move the cursor to the square you
wish to move to
4. press the Fire button to complete
the move
With either keyboard or joysticks...
In both cases if you are in a situation
where you can jump over more than one
of your opponent's pieces, enter the
coordinates for one jump at a time. You
will be prompted to enter the second or
subsequent part of the move after the
previous part has been displayed on the
screen. If you specify a piece that
cannot move (if it is in the back row,
for example, since a piece cannot jump
over another of the same colour) or if
you type in an impossible destination
then it will simply wait for you to try
again, displaying the prompt:
Move from
UNDOING A MOVE
If you change your mind half-way
through a move or after you have
completed a move, and want to 'Undo'
the move, type the letter 'U'. By the
time you do this the computer may have
already moved as well; in this case its
move is Undone also.
THE COMPUTERS MOVE
The computer prints its intended move
on the screen in the usual notation
(i.e. row and column numbers) but waits
for you to press RETURN before entering
the move on the board.
ENDING A GAME
If both red and white pieces remain,
but neither can 'take' the opponents
piece(s) then you may wish to escape
from the game by pressing ESCAPE.
To exit the game answer N or NO when
asked if you want another game or press
<CTRL> <BREAK> then <SHIFT> <BREAK>
this will then re-boot the Welcome
program.
